Walky Dog Plus Hands Free Dog Bicycle Exerciser Leash Newest Model with 550-lbs pull strength Paracord Leash Military Grade

Really sturdy bit of kit. Precision made. Quality from clip to bracket.After much head scratching though, I decided to mount mine at the base of my seat post. This feels right, positioning my dog next to me away from the front wheel and rear disc brake.The problem is that my doggie is only 15” tall, so the rope is much too short. Even taking the springs out was not long enough without garrotting her - and the springs are a good idea, why would I want to remove them?What I did in the end was run along to my local hardware store and buy a couple of meters of rope, similar to the lead and replace it with my new bit. Now it’s long enough AND I could leave all the springs in for comfort if she starts to pull. So really, that should have been thought of by Walky Dog.Obviously, hanging a dog off the side of your bike isn’t ideal, so this lead isn’t for your dog to run along with your bike - it’s for you to cycle next to your dog. That’s the priority so the fact my leg nudges the bar at the bottom of each pedal stroke isn’t a bother as I’m never really going very fast so can comfortably adjust my position.Oh, and despite the quality this isn’t worth £60. But it’s the best on offer so you have to pay for it I guess.

Great product. The materials and build quality seem really good. The quick release / removable feature seems to work well and is very handy as i often use the bike normally. Only slight issue is that the fixture tends to rotate a little as the dog pulls forwards and backwards. Might just be a case of tightening it and locking the locknuts with more care. Overall very happy.

I have a golden retriever (so a large and strong dog) who likes to join me when I cycle. We recently visited the New Forest and I wanted to make sure she was under control to avoid a situation of her chasing animals and wildlife which is in abundance in that part of the country. She took to the Walky Dog very quickly and happily trotted alongside me, it certainly made keeping her on leash whilst cycling very easy to handle. There were a few occasions where she pulled ahead as I was slowing down and this caused the Walky Dog to move forward out of position. It meant I needed to get off my bike and reposition the Walky Dog. I had it tightened well but I guess perhaps as she's a strong dog this was unavoidable, it was not a huge problem though and more of a minor inconvenience on a few occasions. My concern was that she'd pull me over off my bike but this was never an issue and I felt very confident using the Walky Dog, I'm a petite and light woman and as said my dog is quite large and strong but she doesn't pull much on the leash so there wasn't a lot of pulling going on. It was easy to put on the bike and work out how to use it. I use this attached to a harness rather than a collar. A well made piece of kit that is very helpful when you need your dog to stay on leash whilst you're cycling.

Really sturdy and easy to fit. But the price is high!

All in all this is well built, easy to adjust and does what you need it to. I did notice a slight twisting of the pole, but this is hand in hand with my other issue. I ended up returning this as it is not suited to my dog.I have a 14kg collie/poodle cross, she medium size but likes to pull. She was able to pull me off balance a few times and the height of the lead meant that if she pulled her front legs were starting to come off the ground even after I took springs out. She was uncomfortable and so was I. If your dog walks well on the lead, this product would be great for them. Wouldn't suggest for a dog that pulls however, a lead that connects lower on the bike frame would be better suited.

We tried this with our greyhound x and our collie x rescue dogs and it works well. My husband thought I was mad when I bought this, thought the dogs would pull me off the bike/ pull the bike over but that hasn't happened. We need to practice turning, but both dogs got the hang of running alongside (one at a time) on the grass next to the cycle paths in the park. This was purchased because i thought it might be a handy way to exercise a lurcher that has no recall (so can't be let off safely in our local parks) and can outrun me, so running with him on the lead isn't an option! - we're using it once or twice a week to let him really stretch his legs in addition to our usual gentle walks. The dogs are walked 3 times a day, but I felt they needed to do more than walk and our garden isn't big enough to really let off steam. The collie x has recall but can't let him off to run while the other is kept on the lead, as is unfair to the other dog, so he has got a bit plump since the lurcher arrived - now we're using the bike attachment to improve his fitness with short trips running with the bike. Very easy to fit to the bike and to remove the post from the clamp and the bike feels stable with either dog attached. I use harnesses with both dogs so they are attached to the wally dog from the d ring on their back, not their necks.

I have got two dogs - GSD and Golden retriever. Both very strong. I was looking for bike leash for them. After looking in the internet, I decided to take the plunge and bought two of them. Initially i started taking one at a time as I was not sure how much pull the springs going to absorb. I am 6 ft 2 inch and a big lad. My dogs really pull when sees squirrel, birds. Petego does takes lots of the pull away from me, but still I really have to be careful holding on to the cycle handle as I can still feel bit of impact on the bike (around 20%).Slowly my confidence grew and I put another one on my cycle. So now I take both of them at the same time...both side of the bike. No problem. Even I bought another one for my 11 year old daughter and she takes one of the easily with her. So no problem.Two problem faced till now:1 - The rope in the Petego worn out very fast. i bought paracord and changed once. After heavy use, they are still intact. i paid 9.99 GBP for 100 meters of paracord...so thats going to last for life long.2 - The Petego rod attachment seems to be becoming loose at the attachment base, but has not come out once yet. If it does come out, i will let you know.
