Topic: Dog backpacks

Anyone ever use a dog backpack? My parents got a super energetic border collie mix, and we're trying to figure out ways to tire him out more quickly on his walks. Maybe having him carry water, etc...?

Get him some sheep to herd around. He's a working dog, and workibg dogs need jobs.

He has cats! One likes being herded, one does not.

work-in-back-ground. It does the job without getting in the way

We got him a backpack, and it's working great! He's carrying barely a pound, but it's made a big difference, he doesn't pull at all now and seems quieter after the walks.
