Dog Bike Leash | WalkyDog Bicycle Dog Leash

[TheRainbowsocks101]

I know it's called the "walky" dog but would you only be able to go slow on your bike with that or would i have to get the bike tow leash to have my dog run with me?

[smily11muckler]

wow tath was buitiful i ame marked for life :)_

[80spopQueen]

can you put a Gentle leader (head harnest) on the dog while biking with a walkydog?

[themaniusedtob]

is it legal to do this in NY?

[laughingboy0068]

does it have emergency break-away feature?

[TheDogOutdoors]

The WalkyDog does not have this feature. A breakaway feature is nice in theory, but could lead to your dog coming loose in a dangerous area and getting injured. The WalkyDog keeps your dog close enough to your bike and sticks out from a high enough point to prevent issues with fire hydrants or telephone polls. I like knowing that my dog is secure. I have never had an issue in the 2 years I have been biking my dog. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

yyyyeeeeaaahhhhh i like the idea but i think im going to fall ethier way i have a 4 month old Tebbetin Terrier!!! shes small but she can reall pull but i like the idea 4 and a half stars!!

[laughingboy0068]

Hey, I have a 15 month old Lab, that weights about 70 pounds !

When we walk together, he pulls really hard !!!

I have a bike, and I don't know if this product will help me. I'm afraid I'm gonna tip over in my bike, if he catches a smell in the neighbors yard.

[laughingboy0068]

Haltie.

My dog is a similar size and a very strong puller. Check out some of the other videos on my channel. The WalkyDog does an excellent job in my opinion of absorbing the shock when a dog pulls out to the side because of the internal springs. You can adjust these internal springs for dogs of various pulling power.

I have a 1 year old Golden who had this problem, what I used was a chain (choke) collar at the crest (top) of the neck and it worked, used it for a few weeks (2-3) and now she walks perfectly with just a normal nylon collar.

[daconverse]

@mxcnprd10 your dog is pulling because you let him. and he needs atleast an hour of fast walikng or a good run. i have a 2 and a half year old yellow lab and she follows me wherever i go, she bikes with me without a leash she just learned how to be next to me when working out. WALK YOUR DOG FOR ATLEAST AN HOUR AND GIVE YOUR DOG SOME RULES WHILE WALKING AND I PROMISE YOU SHE WILL STOP PULLING.

[ReadyForThe80s]

I have one of these for my 76lbs, 6 month old german shepherd pup to exercise him and to drain his energy, which he has a lot of! I think such a device is great from whichever brand you choose to buy. The first time using it was a bit scary because my pup pulled a lot and that we both had to get used to it, but the second time went more smoothly because I kept is leash on for better control.

[ReadyForThe80s]

It's even more enjoyable now because he now has a head collar which gives even more control than just using a collar alone. I attach the Walkydog to his collar but keep the leash, which is attached to the head collar, in my hand. I don't attach the head collar to the Walkydog because a dog's snout is so sensitive and the pulling during the ride might cause the head collar to slip off.

I tried not to bike with my dog for a long time coz I know it will damage his paws since he doesn't have tough hard paws. He is still young...only up to 5-10 minutes bike on a fast pace. He likes it though since I don't have an hour a day to walk him. Drain his energy and will sleep right away as soon as we get home. But this is interesting stuff.

[TheDogOutdoors]

You are smart to monitor your dog's pad wear since he is younger. We suggest limiting the amount of time riding on asphalt until your dog's paws are conditioned to this - when it is very hot we suggest not riding on asphalt at all. This is the case when walking your dog as well. There is a product called Musher's Secret paw pad wax that helps to protect and condition the dog's paws. I use this and like it

[PS3DAZZLE]

If you have two dogs would it work if had one connected to the WalkyDog and the other one connected to the first dog???

[TheDogOutdoors]

It was not designed for this, but I have had customers try this setup and it worked for them. I would not suggest trying this with extremely powerful dogs though. Just use caution and make sure that both dogs keep the same pace. Always ride at the pace of your dog.

[looklemonade]

That's kind of creepy, they look like a bike-dog army in that one scene, hahaha! Cool tool, though. I don't see how it would keep your dog from being able to pull you over, though.

[TheDogOutdoors]

There is an internal spring system that does a great job of absorbing the shock when the dog pulls. I have several other videos that demonstrate how this works. I have a 75 lb Lab and it works great even when he tries to pull to the side.

[patryric]

I have one and it is fun to go biking safely with our dogs but I would have a piece of advice concerning the dogs paws.

Be careful how long and where you go.

One day after a 20 minutes ride, I found out that my poor girl had severe damage to its paws.

So I guess it is safer when you go on grass than hot asphalt.

Just be cautious.

This is the case when walking your dog as well. There is a product called Musher's Secret paw pad wax that helps to protect and condition the dog's paws. I use this stuff and really like it. As long as you monitor your dog's pads and don't push it at first they should be fine. You could always invest in a pair of dog boots as well.

The older one loves the bike as I trained her as a pup to run along the bike. The younger one seemed to enjoyed it yesterday. She even pulled me across a street. I stopped peddaling and let her do all the work. rofl It's something we'll have to adjust to but it worked. They both snoozed in the car yesterday when I took them on errands with me. I didn't even do a long one with them either. It's worth the money! I agree with using a harness.

[TheDogOutdoors]

Great to hear :) My dog Parker is similiar to your younger one - it's more like he takes me for a bike - no peddaling necessary

[piazzalover]

I just bought one and can hardly wait to try it out with my two dogs. I'll run them separately for now but may buy another one to run them together. I'm really hoping that this works to drains my puppy's energy. I plan to get another harness for the puppy over the weekend but for now they can share the one harness.

[TheDogOutdoors]

Let me know how they like it! Good luck - my dog's have a blast with it :)

[8181k]

will this work for greyhounds? or will they want to sprint?

[TheDogOutdoors]

We have a 75lb lab mix that we use the WalkyDog on everyday. He has so much energy that he seldom walks- its usually a high energy run or sprint. The WalkyDog leash works like a charm. My only suggestion is to use a harness rather than a collar if you have a dog that will want to run on this leash- less pressure on the dog's neck.

[makaibikes]

i could use one of these. just look at my dog bike video haha

[brunosamano]

cool

[hjkjzeee]

its good
