Easy Way To Walk A Dog

Easy Way To Walk A Dog LIVESTOCK DOGS Larry Flaharty s dog loves to run but Flaharty has nerve damage in his feet and couldn t get out to walk the dog like he should Fortunately he s pretty handy so he used a few scrap parts to create a dog walker for his 4-wheeler     



    He U-bolted a 4 by 9-in steel plate to the 4-wheeler s front rack and welded a section of heavy steel pipe to the plate He slid a piece of curved exhaust pipe into the base and bolted a piece of 2-in PVC pipe into the exhaust pipe He fastens a 15-ft dog chain to an eyebolt attached through the end of the PVC pipe



     The pipe swings freely and is long enough to clear the 4-wheeler at its furthest point Flaharty says The chain also clears accessories he has on the back rack such as a lawn seeder



     The boom allows the dog to run around the four-wheeler without getting in contact with it he says This set-up has logged many miles



    Flaharty uses the exerciser when he wants to give his dog a good run He generally lets the dog lead



     The thing is sturdier than it looks Flaharty says It s also easy to lift out the steel pipe when he wants to go for a ride without the dog
