Me encantó, es de muy buena calidad y sirve muy bien para pasear a mi perro. Lo malo es que se puede mover hacia delante o atrás según el perro se detenga, y la goma de protección que viene incluida no es suficiente como apretarlo duro sin que la bicicleta se lastime de la pintura/fierro. Cuando me llegó las gomas de protección para la bicicleta se veían ya usadas por eso le doy 3 estrellas, sé que pueden devolver productos pero sería mejor que los revisen antes de volver a enviarlos.

Update in 2024:I'm still using the same bike attachment, now over 10 years-old. This may not be the cheapest dog bike attachment out there, but I can tell you it's well worth it. The frequency of use has lessened as my dog has aged, but we still go out ever so often. I don't specifically remember replacing the paracord since my 2017 review, at most it has only been one time since then. I'm also still using the same bike connection piece with at most replacing the rubber padding once or twice. The whole system continues working great. So stellar reliability for this product!!! That's refreshing given so many products out there that have trouble lasting even a year or two.Regarding a few things I noticed in some negative reviews (though I can't say for sure if there have been any design changes since 2014):The length once adjusted with the springs keeps my medium 50lb dog at a close but comfortable distance from a 26in mountain bike; I use a harness that attaches on her back. To check on her I just have to glance down and to my side, not over my shoulder (and there are audio cues of her nails on the pavement and pace of her breathing to judge her status too). There have been occasions when a sudden slow down pivots the bar to the rear, but my dog ends up just behind the rear wheel or even on the other side, never harming her; as mentioned, I view the bar pivoting as a safety feature to minimize the impact of sudden pulls. It would be true of most harnesses that a dog pulling backwards out of it can wriggle free, which pulling hard against the forward motion of a bike could create; for that I would recommend being mindful of the type of harness and its tightness to minimize that risk. Biking may not be for all dogs and could require some training and acclimating them slowly at first to minimize objections and pulling in other directions.Original 2017 review:I highly recommend this product. It’s pretty simple to install and then I love how the main portion easily snaps on and off. The base that’s left when you snap the main portion off is unobtrusive, so you don’t always have to look like you have a dog attachment. Placement on the seat bar makes it so the dog is running right beside you, allowing you to easily keep an eye on them and probably is more pleasant for the dog. That also (I think) makes it harder for the dog to pull away since the seat is where the majority of your weight is. Overall I’ve found that the speed of a bike makes it easier to keep the dog moving forward instead of chasing things because most of their attention goes into keeping up the pace; having the expectation of “no distractions” and praising the dog for focusing well on running help in that area as well. I’m usually able to compensate for any pulling, especially by picking up the pace. This product will also rotate a bit on the seat bar which can work as a bit of a buffer in case of a sudden stop or the dog lagging behind. Snapping it off with the dog attached makes it easy to walk the dog around for a break without having to switch to another leash, even though it is a very short leash.There is one caveat for bike attachments in general – don’t have illusions that both you and your dog are going to get a workout unless you happen to have “super dog”. This is one of the best ways to tire a dog out, but people get off easy on the bike. My dog is a fairly athletic 50lb lab mix. She gets excited and runs like crazy at first (which puts it at a good pace for me), but that lasts around 5-10 minutes and then she settles into a more sustainable gallop/jog while already breathing hard. The sustainable pace is a leisurely speed for me and if I want to give her a break the best I can do is a brisk trot because that’s the minimum speed for me to keep my balance on my bike. All in all 30-45 minutes depending on the weather (that includes a stop or two) is plenty to have her sprawled out back home for 30 or more minutes catching her breath. Definitely bring some water with you if you want to go any distance, watch your dog carefully to judge their endurance, and try hard to match your speed accordingly. I like to use a chest harness because I view it as more humane for the inevitable pulling (whether she’s pulling me or I’m pulling her). Also, unexpected benefit – I’ve found that running her with the bike on asphalt every few days keeps my dog’s nails nicely filed down as well; just always check your dog’s paws after each ride to make sure they haven’t hurt themselves.I’ve had this attachment for three years now and it has worked great. My dog yelps in excitement when it’s time for a ride. At about two years in I noticed that a portion of the paracord was fraying. It seemed to still be solid enough so I kept using it, but I kept an eye on it and bought a replacement cord. I’ve also noticed that the latching mechanism has become a little stiff and I’ve been meaning to put some wd-40 on it. Turns out the cord may have also been failing inside where I couldn’t see. The cord fraying ended up working to my advantage because recently my dog accidentally put a light post between us the cord broke rather than causing a crash and my dog and I emerged unscathed; the frayed portion remained intact. My dog even was upset at me for taking her back inside to replace the cord before we finished our ride. So far so good with the replacement cord.

Bisher waren wir mit unserem Hund (Mischlingsrüde, 8 Jahre, ca. 20 kg) immer zu Fuß unterwegs. Da meine Frau gesundheitlich etwas angeschlagen ist, wollten wir mal testen, wie er sich am Fahrrad macht. Eine solide Führung, bei der wir die Hände am Rad haben, war Voraussetzung. Ich habe mir im Internet verschiedene Produkte angesehen und auch diverse Erfahrungsberichte gelesen. Daraus resultierend habe ich mich für den WALKY DOG entschieden.Bewertung:Optik: saubere VerarbeitungMaterial: robuste Halterung, stabile FührstangeTechnik:- einfach zu händelnde kräftige Schnappkupplung zum schnellen An-/Abstecken der Führstange- das Führseil fungiert über 3 kräftige Federn in der Führstange als RuckdämpferDie Installation ist in wenigen Minuten erledigt. Je nach Fahrradtyp wird die Höhe der Anbringung variieren. Kombiniert mit der Größe des Hundes ist es durchaus möglich, dass das mitgelieferte Führseil zu kurz ist. Das ist aber kein wirkliches Problem. Der Baumarkt bietet als sehr geeignetes Material Meterware Anlasserleine (z. B. für Rasenmähermotoren) mit einer Dauerbelastungsfähigkeit von 30 kg. Da die Leine doppelt geführt wird, verdoppelt sich auch die Belastbarkeit. Und 60 kg Dauerlast erreicht man beim Ziehen am Fahrrad nicht. Es gibt auch andere brauchbare Leinen, wichtig: Dauerlast bei ca. 30 kg, Durchmesser 4 mm. Der lfd. Meter kostet ca. 0,90 €.Und nun die erste Fahrt. Meinem Hund war sofort klar, dass man jetzt endlich rennen kann - und das tat er. Ich musste ihn dann schon einbremsen, damit er sich nicht überpaced. Ich hatte die Führstange so montiert, dass das Führseil ca. 5 cm freie Länge hat, wenn der Hund direkt unter der Führstange stehend angeleint ist. Somit konnte er über die Ruckdämpfung noch max 10 cm Leine ziehen. Das gab ihm ausreichend Bewegungsfreiraum. Das Anfahren muss man etwas üben, der Abstand zum Rad ist zwar so, dass der Hund nicht in das Rad laufen kann, aus seiner Sicht kommt er dem großen Etwas aber doch recht nahe und versucht erst mal zur Seite zu ziehen. Hier ist also Gegenlenken erforderlich. Für mich absolut überraschend war, dass nachdem ich den Hund auf freier Strecke ableinte, er trotzdem weiter neben dem Fahrrad lief, als wäre er noch an der Führung. Ab und an drehte er mal zur Seite, zum Schnüffeln etc., kehrte aber umgehend zurück.Fazit:Ich bin begeistert. Auch mein Hund hat allem Anschein nach Gefallen gefunden an dieser Form des Gassi "gehen". WALKY DOG ist robust, hochwertig verarbeitet mit gut durchdachter Funktionalität. Auch der Preis ist angemessen. Wenn man WALKY DOG abwechselnd an verschiedenen Fahrrädern nutzen möchte, kann man die als Einzelteil für ca. 18 € nachkaufen.

We tried this with our greyhound x and our collie x rescue dogs and it works well. My husband thought I was mad when I bought this, thought the dogs would pull me off the bike/ pull the bike over but that hasn't happened. We need to practice turning, but both dogs got the hang of running alongside (one at a time) on the grass next to the cycle paths in the park. This was purchased because i thought it might be a handy way to exercise a lurcher that has no recall (so can't be let off safely in our local parks) and can outrun me, so running with him on the lead isn't an option! - we're using it once or twice a week to let him really stretch his legs in addition to our usual gentle walks. The dogs are walked 3 times a day, but I felt they needed to do more than walk and our garden isn't big enough to really let off steam. The collie x has recall but can't let him off to run while the other is kept on the lead, as is unfair to the other dog, so he has got a bit plump since the lurcher arrived - now we're using the bike attachment to improve his fitness with short trips running with the bike. Very easy to fit to the bike and to remove the post from the clamp and the bike feels stable with either dog attached. I use harnesses with both dogs so they are attached to the wally dog from the d ring on their back, not their necks.
