Getting your dog to tow you on a skateboard

bamdrew says...

I've done this before; I needed to get the dog accustom to the sound of the skateboard rolling up behind her, because first try she just kept running fast and faster, nervously looking back behind her every 10 seconds.

She was uncomfortable with the new (and loud) sound chasing right behind her, and got past it and had fun after about 10 min. of just rolling around and playing fetch... then it was dog-sledding time!

you might not think she is disabled but she is by defanitoin.
should have said , "we dont think "of her" as disabled" ,
objectivly the dog is less able than a dog that can see.


It's a 'he'...

Ya know, "Good boy..."

Objectively, the dog seems more able than some internet posters... X D

Myron the blind dog plays fetch!

What the heck would require you to remove a dog's eyes at four months?
Upvote for the overcoming challenges bit, but geez, poor dog and stuff.


Blind since birth, the talented dog found a forever home four years ago with 41-year-old Wood and her husband, Terry. After Wood lost a previous dog to cancer, a friend told her about a "dumped dog" that had just given birth, so Wood decided to rescue a puppy and picked Myron "because he looked cross-eyed."

But after just two weeks of getting to know her new guy, Wood learned that Myron was blind. Within three months, Myron developed glaucoma and his eyes began to swell to the size of golf balls; surgery to remove his eyeballs was Myron's only option to alleviate his pain.

After the operation, "he was very happy," Wood says. "His confidence came back tenfold."

The brave hound's courage has made him one of Australia's best-loved dogs.

He sadly had both eyes removed by vets when he was just a few months old, but the four-year-old Boxer/Border Collie cross still manages to have fun just like any other pooch.

His owner Raquel Wood takes him for walks in her local park in Campleton, New South Wales, where he sprints around catching toys.

Raquel believes that Myron's acute hearing, intelligence and a kind of sixth sense has helped him enjoy life to the full.

The 41-year-old said: 'We don't think Myron is disabled. He's differently abled.

'He can still catch balls and Frisbees because his hearing is so good and he's learnt through trial and error.

'Sometimes I do call out to him if he's "hot" or "cold" but not always, its like he has a sixth sense.

'He can also lie down, beg, roll over and do all sorts of doggie tricks.

'He's very smart. It's actually hard to tell he doesn't have any eyes.'

Vets recommended that Myron should be put down as a pup, as he also sadly suffers from epilepsy and is hyper sensitive.

However, Raquel and her husband Terry stuck by him and spent thousands of dollars getting him better.
