walk her dog? run her dog?

How do you describe the situation in the above image?
"A woman is walking her dog while riding a bicycle."
Is this corrrect? I guess 'walk one's dog' is a popular phrase.
However, in the above picture the woman is riding a bicycle, so the dog is running.
In that sense, I guess,
"A woman is running her dog while riding a bicycle." might be better.
I'm not sure though.
Thank you.

exercising her dog would be better - let's hope it doesn't see a rabbit!

Or 'taking her dog for a run'. There are several transitive meanings for run, but none of them would apply here.

I think exercising her dog is more appropriate. what about jogging I mean: jog her dog as she riding...o no aia don't think so well excercising is ok after all
confusing

I would say "nice rear end"...and the woman ain't too bad either.

It refers to putting a collar on, for example, a dog.

But in Curmudgeon's case it means something sexual - restrictive, either socially or ph.... no, this is a family show. 
Interestingly, Latin used a similar phrase, but it wasn't slang: for a woman to marry a man she put him under the yoke; but a man couldn't do that to a woman:
sub jugum ponere - woman > man
uxorem ducere - man > woman
