I recently purchased the Bike Tow Leash from The Dog Outdoors and it has been awesome. I have a weekly client that needs her German Shepherd exercised and this was the perfect solution when I realized my running abilities (actually, jogging to be specific) were no match for the energy this dog has. It’s the most expensive option out there, but I believe it’s a great investment, especially for people who own a pet care business.

Please try the our Bike Tow Leash. It solves several of the problems listed earlier.
1) You and your dog will usually take to it instantly. Direction and speed changes are automatically communicated to the dog making the ride much more enjoyable as well.
2) It is easy to give your dog corrections by simply steering away from him then back toward him.
3) There is no worry about larger dogs as the tipping forces are eliminated.

I keep my dog on the left side as well because that’s where he’s used to heeling and we are often against traffic so it’s safer for him over there. His tail goes nowhere near the spokes so I’ve never been worried about that.

I’m using the K-9 jogger and it is a great way to exercise.

I attached to the left side of the bike in order to keep the dog away from the gears.

I do worry about her tail getting clipped by the spokes. It has not happened yet but still… anyone else worry about this? I’m thinking some kind of shield might be in order.

Yep, I agree! I like to be able to give Ace a correction, too. But I do prefer to use the bike leash versus a regular leash, now that it’s been almost a year.

One thing I do with some of the dogs that are not as well-behaved on the leash as Ace and Eli is to use the bike leash and a regular leash at the same time. That may sound complicated, but it’s safer that way to have the dog in one place and to be able to correct the dog.

So I’m back to let you know how the WalkyDog Bike Leash is working out for me and Eli. It’s only been less than a week, but I am really enjoying using it! Before, I was just using a standard 6-foot leash while biking with the dog, which worked fine, but it seemed I was always having to adjust the length of the leash to keep it comfortable for my dog (and me). Now I just hook him up and he stays in the same spot, no adjusting needed. I also think it is easier for him to keep the same pace with this leash. If he pulls, all I feel is a little tug, it doesn’t affect my balance on the bike at all. The only thing I don’t like is that I am unable to give him a correction if needed, but that’s the only thing I don’t like!

I would think Eli would love to go biking! Let me know how it goes!

I just ordered this from Amazon, and I am very excited to try it out! I would have never known about this if it hadn’t been for this post, so as usual, thanks for the good information! I will have to let you know how it goes- once the weather is consistently warm
