If you have a
large dog, your children have probably been tempted to ride him. You may be
tempted to let them because it would make such a cute photo opportunity! No
matter how cute or fun it sounds, it’s a bad idea.
First of all,
your dog isn’t trained to carry a human on its back. That means an accident is
likely to happen. After all, riders get thrown from horses that aren’t properly
broken, so you can expect this to be the case with a dog that isn’t trained to
be ridden.
Why aren’t dogs
trained to be ridden? They don’t have muscles or a spine that can withstand the
weight of a person, no matter how small. Even a Great Dane can suffer major
problems when ridden by a small child.
Your veterinary
clinic Lakeville, MN can tell you more about why it is a bad idea.
