 Super fun for hyper dog November 12, 2009
Kathy S. (Cleveland, OH USA)
I used this all summer for my 33lb super hyper mixed breed dog and she loves it. Be careful though. A squirrel ran out in front of us and I didn't see it first. She went nuts and either hit the ground or my pedal-it happened so quickly I'm not sure. A $225 bill at the emergency vet will teach me to keep alert and not to totally rely on the WalkyDog to keep her going straight forward and away from the bike parts. On the plus side it did its job by not allowing the bike to be pulled over or me to be injured. I only give it 4 stars because its very difficult to get it tight enough on the seat post so it doesn't twist when she pulls before I start moving.
A great product in all respects November 4, 2009

The WalkyDog is solid and looks like it's made of top quality materials to last a lifetime. Installation to the bottom of the seat post of my mountain bike was quick and easy. If the bar is too far forward the back of your leg will hit it, so be sure to try the mounted WalkyDog before using it with your dog. Attaching and detaching the pole from the clamp is faster and easier than th company literature claims. It just takes an instant.
My dog, Rusty, is a lean and athletic 60 lb 2 1/2 yr. old mixed breed. He is normally skittish and high strung, and he is born to run. At my age (67), I can't really run him, hence the WalkyDog and my bicycle. Initial hook up of the dog is easy. First attach the snap to the dog's collar*, and then attach the pole to the clamp on the bike. Rusty took to the WalkyDog immediately the first time with no pulling or anxiety except on first hook up. As soon as we started moving, he and I settled into a steady 10 mph or so pace on a beautiful canyon bottom dirt road. Rusty maintained a steady trot that looked effortless. Our first use was about 6 miles. He now handles up to 10 miles with no stress, and gets excited when I get the bike out.
Rusty hasn't pulled hard to the side yet, but the pulling he has done really has little effect on the stability of my mountain bike. I don't think even a very large dog would present a safety problem with this unless he lunged hard and unexpectedly, like at another dog.
I paid about $50.00 for mine, and feel it was a bargain. The $30 that Amazon is charging is a steal. I'm seriously considering buying another one or two to give away as gifts.
* Another reviewer's suggestion to use a harness is a good idea, especially the kind with the snap ring in front under the dog's chest. I'd be concerned that the dog could pull out of a regular collar (impossible with a martingale), or hurt his neck with a choke collar if you were to fall. With a harness with the snap ring on the dog's back, I'd be concerned that a big strong dog could pull with enough force to cause a fall.
Awesome product..dog loves it! October 21, 2009

Got the product and quickly installed on the bike. Took my dog out the first time and it took a little bit for her to get the hang of it. Once she did.. there was no stopping her. Great item keeps her from getting tangled up in the wheels and helps me stayed balanced. No way for her to pull me over. Now as soon as we say walky dog she runs to the bike and waits for us to hook her up.
Excellent Product October 20, 2009

I love this device. It was very easy to install and it is far safer then having the leash wrapped around my wrist while holding onto the handlebars. My 2 yr old Greyhound mix has a timid streak and used to flinch at passing cars causing me to jerk the handlebars. With the Walky Dog she stays right by my side and I can concentrate on a safe ride. She adapted fairly easily to the Walky Dog. I highly reccomend this to anyone who wants to safely walk their dog while riding a bike.
I'm impressed October 17, 2009

Super fast shipping...I ordered this on Wednesday and it was delivered on Friday. I quickly attached it to my bike and then hooked up our 'Labra-doodle'.... I walked her down the street, then I hopped on the bike and we took off....SHE LOVES IT... we went right out for a 20 minute run/jog and did not have any problems at all. I am impressed with this item, and our dog is very happy too.
