Skate Like The Dog Whisperer: LandRoller Skates
As a dog owner I must admit, I really enjoy watching "Cesar Milan - The Dog Whisperer." I'm not saying that I agree with everything he does, but I do LOVE that he encourages dog owners to exercise with their pets. He's not talking about casual walks in the park either.
