We have two dogs 12 and 13 pounds and they love riding in their trailer. They can't keep up with our bikes but we like to take them when we go out riding. The DoggyRide trailers are great. There are three models, the "Original" is shown and our "Novel" model is pictured with Barnie and Rockey. There is also a smaller model. They are made in Holland and are very well made. They fold down for storing or packing into the car. Our Novel model holds dogs or loads up to 120 pounds. With our little guys, I hardly know it is there. Our Novel model trailer has a flip down parking stand (keeps it level when not attached to bike), rain flap, two storage pockets in the back, has two D rings inside for attaching restraints. It has a thick pad which fits into a rigid plastic tray with a reinforced frame, instead of the Original model's bottom made of MDF. The pad is easily removed for cleaning. Also it has a top zipper opening for a taller dog to stick their head through. If you have a dog large or small that for some reason could not keep up when you bike or you are uncomfortable with them running along side, but want them to be with you, DoggyRide may be the solution. It can double as a grocery hauler too if you like to ride your bike to the store. Depending on the model, with additional attachments DoggyRides can be converted to Doggy Strollers or Joggers.

Shipped as agreed. Product doesn't quite fit all of my 96 lb lab inside even though it is built to carry 100 lbs. Tail wags out the back unless I tuck it in. Crate does have enough room for him to lay down in a ball.

We purchased the original dog bike trailer to allow us to take our dog on longer bike rides. When she gets tired from running we just put her inside the trailer and we can keep riding. When she is ready for another run we hook her up to the dog jogger and away we go. Wish we would have bought this years ago. It was quick and easy to assemble, folds up nicely for transport and storage. The trailer is well built and large enough for us to put a small cooler in the trailer along with our 50 pound dog. You don't even know it is behind you unless the dog is inside and then only slightly when on an incline. Our dog is crate trained and she climbed inside while we were putting it together so there was zero issues of her climbing inside on the bike path. She was content as could be. Very satisfied and would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy time on their bikes with their pooch.

On our first ride, my dog (a75lb golden) managed to chew through the zipper in 4 places in about 5 seconds. She also tipped the entire doggyride on its side and fell halfway out the hole she made chewing. I had her strapped in securely but she was easily able to destroy the doggyride the first time out. I think this would be better suited for smaller dogs even though they advertize it for larger dogs. This is an expensive trailer and should be able to hold up to normal dog behavior. I think there should be a better strap system inside it as well, that may have prevented my dog from tipping it over.
