3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not the best., May 15, 2008

This product is by far better designed than the Springer.... BUT it's not the best. It is cumbersome, and not ideal... You want the dog to run at your side, not behind you.

The Walkydog is the best, and safest. It absorbs 90% of pulls with an internal spring. I love it.

We (my dog and I) actually use and enjoy this product. When we first got it, there was a training period of a few months where we didn't go far or fast, even though my dog was pulling like crazy to go faster. We've had the dog jog for about 2 years, and use it in the spring and fall mostly, since it's too hot/cold here otherwise.

I always bring water, so she can drink, and I keep a close eye on her. I can feel her slow down (or speed up!). Since she's got a high prey drive, I was worried about her pulling me over. We've encountered countless squirrels, etc. that she'd love to chase, but I haven't been pulled over yet. I think that the low centre of gravity helps me to stay upright.

I recommend this product, and I know it's been fun for us!

The only thing I'd change is the connection to the pole. Sometimes I worry about the velcro, but it has held up fine so far!

I couldn't disagree more with the other review for this product. Having your dog run while attached to the rear axle of the bike is great for stability and control. Much better than off-to-the-side mounts. When my dog tires I can feel her slow down without being pulled off to one side. She can run either behind the bike or to one side or the other so I can see how she's doing and adjust my speed. Of course, with any bike/dog training you need to learn how much your dog can do and bike to the dog's speed with plenty of rests and water stops, but if your dog loves to run (as my husky mix does), then biking together is a great option. A rear-mounted bike attachment is by far more stable than any other method I've tried.
