The cheapest starting point might be to get a "Springer"
attachment for your bicycle (assuming you have and ride bicycles...). Two advantages to this as the starting
point: You can use it in warmer weather; it is a good
idea to train dog year-round. This attaches to a side
of the bicycle, but due to its physics, dog can actually
pull you on the bicycle (if he wants).... Find it by searching for "Springer dog bicycle USA" (last word because
they have sellers in many countries). I used it with
2 Malamutes and 10+ years with great fun. My only suggestion
for its use is to avoid flimsy rope connection between
Springer and dog they provide but to use 2 ft long chain
for tyhat purpose... Price is something like 50$.

Hope this helps,
