The only exercise this dog likes is swimming, but we CAN'T do that every day!!!

Summary:
Marathon training with a lazy dog turned into a chaotic 5K run using a dog bike trailer 🐶🏃♀️🚲. As a runner with a low-energy dog who can’t run due to arthritis, I tested whether a dog trailer for biking and running could actually work.
This dog running experiment quickly turned into a struggle 😅—getting my dog into the bike trailer, dealing with the heavy weight, running uphill ⛰️, stopping constantly, and getting reactions from strangers while pulling a dog in a trailer (“Oatmeal Express” 🚂😂). I even attempted pulling the dog bike trailer myself during the run 💀.
We eventually made it to the dog park 🐕🌳 for a break, testing dog exercise alternatives for dogs who can’t run. This video includes an honest review of a dog bike trailer for running, marathon training with a dog, and realistic expectations for running with a lazy dog.
