Question
Are there any easier ways to walk a 5 month old cairn terrier? Like.. bicycling or scootering? Just wanted to know so that I can walk my dog easier and faster. thanks!

Answer
That would be quite difficult to do and keep the puppy safe.  First, you must not push it too hard.  Too much stress isn't good for its developing joints.  It is almost as big as an adult, but its joints aren't ready for the stresses of an adult.  You will also have less control than if it is on a leash.  a couple of years ago when I thought gas prices were high, I though about riding the bicycle more, but couldn't see how I could safely take the puppy with me.
