My dog goes to physical therapy, and I'm thinking about getting this for him. He's 70lbs, shepherd ... Any thoughts on using this for the dog?

If your dog likes it, it would be great, seeing as its not noisey or large. Good luck! My dog was scared of my old, bigger treadmill.

I got one and it is NOT for people. I would not recommend this item to you because the company DOES not stand behind its product. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY>

My dog is heavy (120 lbs) and about 8-9 years old. She loved jumping over the bar, but it made her arthritis worse. I read (later) that overweight dogs shouldn't do that. I didn't try any of the other stuff and I'm not sure how tall Leah is so I can't really answer for the rest of the stuff. I gave the set to a friend with a smaller dog and her dog loved it all and even slept inside the tube.

I have a pointer (60 pounds) that is very playful, so she's always running around the house. I have yet to notice any tears or other indication that the dog is affecting the mat (after 2 months use). I do notice that the dog likes to sit on the mat instead of the floor - I guess even SHE notices how soft it is! :-)

I used this with large dogs (90-110lbs) They kept pace with me instead of pulling ahead. I love this. It has helpded leash train my dogs without being pulled off my feet. They have never had a problem moving fast wearing it. but I am not a runner. Re your question. How large is your dog and how well does he/she pace you? This is a snug fit under the foot legs. Can recommend it for training a dog and causual walks. worth the money

Our cocker is 12 years old and has a torn ACL and chose not to do surgery due to her age. We found the back on track brace and it helps her tremendously. So I would have to say it would be good for your dog based on our experience. I hope it works for you, if you decide to use it.

Hi, my lab is a lean 70 lbs. He dosent have a big chest. And I feel like there is barely enough Velcro to hold it. It does work for him but I don't like the metal loop the Velcro belt passes through on the front harness. It's in a area with a lot of movement and I feel like it should be more streamline or relocated. All that being said, we do use it quite often. I have not noticed any sore spots caused by the harness. And he dosent seem to mind wearing it. Loads must be perfectly equal on each side or the harness will sag to the heavier side. Hope this helps

I am sorry to say but probably not. My 9lb shih tzu is almost to big. My 11 lb does ok but they don't stay on the table, they tend to fall off. I'm actually thinking I need to look for a better option. Even with two harnesses the table is not the best idea for larger heavier dogs. My 9 lb guy managed to knock the table over and was choking himself with the harness and I only bent down to pick up my clippers. Scared me to death and now I don't trust the table for anything.

It will definitely work on a 70lb. dog. I have a 65lb. dog and the Nobark has worked wonders for her.

Oh yeah. I use it for a 90 lbs shepherd. Keep in mind if your pit is determined to get out he will. I bought a kong kennel for my other shepherd. No other kennel would work for him.

My dog is maybe 25 lbs lighter and the harness is slightly large on her. It's very adjustable, though, so it might work for you. Why don't you ask the manufacturer. It's really worth getting; makes a huge difference helping the dog up and down stairs, for example.

It may work for you if he stays smaller, but think about his max weight. The dog does sit low like the pic, but You may be able to position him up a little more. My dog was a 7lb puppy at the time I was using it and really, that's too much weight to carry low like that. I almost altered it to be a few inches shorter. It does give them security and closeness to you as a puppy... I hope this helps.

Yes, I think so. My dog is an 85 lb. German Shepherd who manages to stretch out a lot and he is comfortable on it. I tried to include a picture, but Amazon doesn't accommodate them on this response.

It should fit fine. My Shepherd is 80lbs now, he is slightly bigger than a Malinois, however the harness fit him at 65-70 lbs, and it is adjustable

It really depends on the size and girth of the dog's neck. I have a colossal sized German Shepherd. She could easily weigh 100+ pounds. However, I work very hard, run with her and keep her trim. She is able to use the Herm Sprenger 18" Prong Collar with no problem. However, if your dog is very muscular, stout and has a very thick neck (17.5" or larger) . . . I would recommend a larger size. You can purchase extra links to increase the size. If you are going to run or bike with the dog, I would STRONGLY consider a "Gentle Leader" in the stead of a prong collar. I solely (ONLY) utilize the Gentle Leader for biking and running.

I have had great success, my puppy is 30 pounds and since you can adjust the degree of stimulation (I use #3) you should be able to use it on a dog as large as 160 pounds, maybe more, it packs a punch, I tried it on my thigh and wow

While this is a sturdy product, I think the angle would be too steep for a dog of that size and age. I think you will need to go with a longer and less steep ramp. I purchased this for my 12 pound young dog, and it works good.

The DoggyRide Original is wonderful. An 80 pound dog will be ok...sitting, or curled up. Not a lot of room to stretch out but most prefer to sit with their head up watching the sights. You'll just need to desensitize to first the enclosure and then the movement. Good luck and have fun!
