Wow.
"Believe it or not, an emerging pastime called "hobby dogging" is a new leisure activity for animal lovers in Germany who don't want the vet bills, hairy carpets, drooling or expensive vet fees. There is also no need to pick up the poo, deal with aggressive behavior or barking when leaving your pet at home.
As might be expected, it has been met with much head-shaking, skepticism and ridicule online. After all, the dog only exists in the walker's imagination.
Hobby dogging โ essentially dog training without dogs โ follows in the wake of "hobby horsing," a previous trend that saw children (and a surprising number of adults) gallop through obstacle courses on stick horses."
