You’re right, it can be dangerous if the dog is not kept under control at all times. I am always aware of my dog and never go too fast. I also would be hesitant to bike with a dog larger than my 65-pound mutt.

Your points are very valid and that is something everyone should consider. I choose to keep my dog on the left in “heel position” because that is where he is used to being when we walk (against traffic). But as for biking, sometimes we are against traffic and sometimes we are with traffic. We live in a very quiet area and only bike where there are very few cars. It would be different if we lived somewhere busier or biked among a lot of cars. I will keep what you said in mind. Thanks.

in an earlier comment, you mention riding against traffic with your dog. You might want to check with your local bike laws…in California, bikers have to follow the same rules as autos and I believe you can actually get a ticket for riding on the sidewalk or riding against traffic. Not only that, but most drivers dont expect a biker to be coming from the opposite direction…sounds like an accident wiating to happen. I think the idea of keeping your dog to your right is good since it does protect them from traffic. Thanks for the review though, it was great!

I’m glad you and your German shepherd like the WalkyDog bike leash! That’s great that he picked up on it so quickly. I’ve found that to be the case with some dogs. With others, it takes more time to introduce the bike.

If young dogs go biking or running, just make sure the pace is kept slow and not to work the dog too long. When in doubt, check with your vet or breeder. Each dog is different.

I took my GSD out for the first time today on a walkydog…we both loved it! we are lucky to have a large flat country park at the back of our house so dont have to go far & the surface is perfect.
He took to it like a fish to water – literally I just got on the bike & started pedalling and he just jogged along side….what a fantastic buy…
I noticed there has been a comment about younger dogs using this – the maker says dogs under 2yrs shouldnt use this product. Dogs esp Large breed dogs are slow maturing & their grow plates and joints are very important and shouldnt be overworked – I wouldnt recommend this for young dogs.

That feature would be a good one to have. I don’t see this happening often, but accidents do happen. The WalkyDog absorbs all the tugs as well, which is nice.
