Well I am happy to report we are up and running and that our runs are bark free. It didn't take long for Reese to decide that barking was wasted energy, better saved for the run.
I am still working on finding the right pace for Reese. She would like to go full tilt, but I am not to comfortable with doing this for an extended period on pavement. There are a few places I could take Reese where I can let her run without being attached to the bike. When she barked at the bike and tried to bite the tire, this was not an option. I think running without any pressure to speed up or slow down while harnessed would be best.
If I let her, I would not have to pedal at all, in fact I have to frequently ride the break to slow her down. She is responding to a verbal easy and understands the turns, which I like. Frequent or sudden braking puts strain on the harness which puts strain on her so the more we ride together, the better it is for both of us.

Tonight I took the GPS with me and our route was 1.73 kms. We did this in 6.2 minutes and our maximum speed was 23.5kms per hour. Our average speed was 16.5kms.
