Two Different Ways to Take Your Dog With You

Posted by: Jeff In: Pet Gadgets

Exercising is healthy for both you and your dog (one of the three keys to a well balanced dog: exercise, discipline and affection). Depending on your dog, you might run into one of two problems when you take your dog out for an extended walk: either the dog can’t keep up with you, or you can’t keep up with the dog. Here’s some solutions.

If your dog is too small and gets too tired when you go on long walks, perhaps you need the pooch fanny pack. Look at that dog’s face.. he’s loving it! Obviously you’re not going to put a Great Dane in this thing but if your small dog can’t keep up, it’s not bad:

On the opposite end of the spectrum is a dog that is too active for your walks. No matter how far you walk, the dog is still full of energy and wants to walk more. To tire your pup out you might want to take it for a walk while you ride your bike but just riding while holding the leash can be dangerous for both you and your dog. A distracted dog can get caught up in the bicycle or pull you off the bike. The WalkyDog – Hands Free Bicycle Dog Leash Two Different Ways to Take Your Dog With You wants to make it safer and easier for you to ride with your dog.

The WalkyDog attaches to the seat post of your bike. It detaches quickly and easily to become a leash. When your dog is hooked in, he will be safely away from side of the bike and will remain in position without being able to cross in front or behind the bicycle.

The WalkyDog makes it easier to change directions while riding with your dog and you can even mount one on each side of your bike and ride with two dogs at once. Since it attaches to the seat there is a lowered center of gravity and it’s almost impossible for the dog to pull the bike over and knock you off. A great pet gadget to improve both your dog’s and your own health.

[...] WalkyDog essentially places your dog on a treadmill it can’t get off of without breaking it’s neck. And check out the picture—i don’t even think that dalmatian is real, but it still looks like the saddest thing ever. Not cool. [Craziest Gadgets] [...]

I use the walkydog with a harness. It works just fine. There are springs inside the tube, so there is some give. My dog is 21 lbs so he cannot run away at squirrels or cats, all I have to do is tell him to leave it and speed up a little. He has to put his mind forward where his body is going. He hasn’t been able to pull me over. I’m able to stop and put my feet on the ground in an instant. Also, he is always between me and the sidewalk – we have very wide bike lanes in our neighborhood. The photo of the dalmation is scary, but I think it’s a stuffed toy. It seems any equipment can be poorly used without much thought put into it. There are a lot of videos of safe usage of this device.

My dog loves it!
