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.

5 out of 5 stars good for dog, good for me   November 3, 2008
Our newly rescued dog needs more exercise than a casual walk, so I thought I would try the WalkyDog. I was concerned because the dog is easily distracted and I was remembering a nasty fall I took trying to hold his lease while riding my bike with him. The WalkyDog works well and the springs absorb the dog's occasional lunges, so it seems safe. Before getting it, I spent some time training him with a short leash and we also trained for a short time just walking the bike with the dog attached to the WalkyDog. I'm glad I got it and the dog loves the running.


4 out of 5 stars Great Fun! A few concerns...   November 2, 2008
My daughter and I LOVE the Walkydog - it is great fun, and our dog Max runs like he is a sled dog when we bike. I really like the control (vs trying to hold a leash, etc) to remain stable on the bike.

The synthetic lead coming off the metal post has frayed a bit already. I am not sure it is sturdy enough for long-term use with a large lab such as ours. I understand one can get replacements.

I had to fuss with the mounting for a while before it worked without spinning on the seat post or pushing the seat around as the dog pulls.

I am not sure whether to use a collar or a harness on the dog. I am worried that the collar tugging on his neck could cause damage. I would have liked better instructions and recommendations on how to manage larger dogs who love to run hard.

Overall, a wonderful product and I am sure you will have fun with it. The dog is getting awesome exercise. Me, not so much - I hardly pedal the dog loves to run so much!
