Google "dog sulky" to get an idea of how to attach the dog to the trike for pulling. Specifically check out the single-shaft dorsal harness. Should be a simple matter to attach a dorsal harness to the frame with a tube mount and a pin.

@13nillo

Thanks for the "heads up", I'll take a look into it :)

Can you imagine a few excited sled dogs harnessed to the front boom...

Your dog did quite well...

[stryker48]

That would be GREAT!

Thanks!

It would be fun if she could pull you on that thing.

[stryker48]

she can pull, however keeping control of her when she's running with only one hand on the steering is quit hair raising. The trike has direct steering which is sensitive to the slightest movement. The faster you go, the more sensitive the steering. Perhaps attaching the leash to my upper arm would solve the problem. Keeping her on track is the other.

Thanks for your comment.

@stryker48 You could attach one of those spring loaded walkers so the further she gets, the more it's pulling her back and attach to your upper arm just below the shoulder. Could keep both hands on steering then and be able to brace if she goes after a squirrel or something, hehe.

nice tryke

I take my dog out all the time w/ my delta recumbent trike. I have no problems if she pulls me, which she likes to do for short spells. Mostly tho, she runs along side. When she gets tired, I put her in a plastic bin I have on the back of the trike and carry her. She's a 60 lb. Pittbull.
