Product Description
Now you can have your dog share in the fun of a bike ride! Great exercise for you and your dog. The WalkyDog lets you relax and enjoy the company of friends and family while taking your dog along on bike rides. No need to leave your dog at the house or fumble with a lead. The Walkydog, "the third hand on your bike", handles your dog for you. It puts you back in charge, your dog will very soon realize this and restrain itself, even when passing a cat, squirrel or other distraction. The Walky Dog can be used with a collar or harness. We think the harness would be safer for your dog as it eliminates any choking hazard but it would increase the leverage your dog has with your bike. So you'll have to be the judge on whether to use a harness or a collar. The WalkyDog can be used for breeds that are a little closer to the ground. The WalkyDog "lead" can be extended to a maximum of 14". If you find that the combination of the height of your bike and the 14" lead isn't enough, you can attach the WalkyDog lead to another lead for additional length or, you can pretty easily replace the cord used in the WalkyDog lead with a cord of a custom length. You can purchase cord of this type at many hardware stores.

5 out of 5 stars Love it   November 30, 2008
I was so skeptical that this would work for me. I have a crazy 2 year old golden retriever (70 pounds). I tried to bike while holding his leash...it was a disaster. So I tried this Walky Dog, and now we bike every day. I don't know why it works, frankly, because it seems like he should be able to wreck us pretty easily. but no, it's awesome. you have to make sure you realllly tighten the clamp, and I found that it's much better if I use his harness. when i clipped it to his collar, he almost choked himself trying to run. But after we figured out the harness, he can run full blast next to the bike, slows down when i brake. the only challenge we still have is taking sharp turns. Anyways, he gets so excited when I break out the leash part, and i really enjoy it to.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent quality. Works great!   November 30, 2008
I needed a way to let my dog get regular exercise in a town with strict leash laws. Walking him just wasn't stringent enough. Biking is perfect and after awkwardly trying to just hold his leash while riding, I was looking for something sturdy and safe. This is it! It took only 2 training sessions and now Koda can't wait when he sees the bike come off the rack. Safe and easy. I even have good control when he sees a squirrel. I got an extra clamp for my wife's bike and the quick connect works perfect. Only complaint is the length of the leash. It needed to be 2 feet longer for my dog, but that is easily remedied with a tied on extension.


5 out of 5 stars Great product for exercising athletic dogs!   November 19, 2008
We purchased the Walky Dog rather than the Springer after reading that the Springer was harder to take on and off. The Walky Dog installed quickly and easily, and it is very easy to take the "handle" off with one hand when you want to fit through tight spots on a trail, or use it to walk the dog when you stop for breaks.

We had also heard that the safety connection on the Springer was easy for dogs to break, which we wanted to avoid as we bike near busy roads. The Walky Dog has survived several strong pulls from our dogs (after seeing squirrels run by, for example) and is very sturdy. The pulls don't seem to affect the bike's balance either. We feel much safer with the Walky Dog than we did trying to juggle the leashes in our hands as we rode.

Although we saw many pictures of people using the Walky Dog attached to their dog's collar, we didn't feel that was safe for the dogs. We use harnesses instead, and the dogs get very excited when the harnesses come out. We have also attached the Walky Dog on the right side of the bike, so that we are between the dogs and traffic when we ride on busy roads.

This is a great product for exercising athletic dogs. It was easy to install, the extra clamps that you can buy for it make it easy to switch from bike to bike, and it seems well-made. The tension in the "handle" can be adjusted, and at its strongest is tough enough for our young, athletic, pulling dogs. The only improvement I would make is in the short attachment leash that hangs from the end of the "handle" - it has frayed just a bit at the end where it comes out, and we will probably replace it with something tougher. The Walky Dog was worth every penny!


5 out of 5 stars A Real Solution   November 13, 2008
I have two dogs. Digger is 28" in the shoulders and Winky, the latest addition is 16". Based on the height difference, I couldn't figure out how to create a harness to run both of them at the same time. The walky dog is awesome. I can run both dogs off my mountain bike at the same time, one on each side. I removed one spring and lengthened the cord for Winky. Both dogs like squirrels, striped kitties, etc. but haven't been able to pull me off the bike when they get distracted.

Have wrapped the end of each walky dog with tape and attached blinker lights as we ride in the evening. So far no other bikes have run into the dogs and we ride/run 6 miles a night.

Awesome product. Simple rugged design. I'm a happy camper!


5 out of 5 stars Great times with Walky Dog   November 9, 2008
Finally my dog can come biking with me. My Border Collie needs to exercise each day and this is perfect! She loves the Walky Dog. I would recommend getting a no pull harness to use with it instead attaching it to the collar.
