I have a 75 lb american bulldog/pit bull mix who is pure muscle and LOVES to pull. Will this product hold up to him?

Mild pulling would probably be OK. However, there are other, more expensive, alternatives that are made of metal and may be more suitable.

It may loosen occasionally, I have to tighten mine after every 3rd-4th ride. What worked best for my dog's pulling is a nose harness, she was a different dog after we started using it on walks and did not pull at all. When I ride with her, I put the nose harness on her but attach the bike leash to her body harness not the nose harness. Just having it on keeps her in check. You might want to check that out, got mine at Petsmart for $14.

Yes it should. We have a 45kg dobe who pulls like a cart horse and it is very stable.

My 75 lb Golden pulls sometimes when she needs to stop and pooh. It only moves me enough to give me a signal, but doesn't cause a problem. If I don't want to stop I peddle faster, which seems to encourage her to run instead of stop. Only if I were going very slowly would it be a problem.

I have a 80 lb lab that I use my cycleash with. He is not a strong puller, and does quite well. I think the bottom line is that if your dog is a strong puller and not leash trained, NO product is going to "hold up to him". He will drag your bike around, especially if you're using a harness.With that said, I fee the "pull" from the dog more at low speed than high speed. The leash portion seems pretty sturdy/thick. Overall, I've been really happy with it.

I bought this product and use it for TWO 70lb hound pullers. HOWEVER, I use the gentle leader while riding with them. I first tried using it with them in the harness, but got pulled down when one saw a squirrel. He head-halter gives them less strength to pull.This is a great product, and I use it for both single-dog biking, and the double hookup for two! Give it a try!

Have ordered but not yet received. Two weeks ago had a "face first into asphalt, 10 stitches" fall when using leash in hand and dog quickly pulled across in front of bicycle. We had done it several times before with control but leash in hand method is dangerous.Got idea from Caesar Milan show as he had used leash in hand method. The reason I bought this is bicycle runs do provide fast & good exercise for our dog. Dog is 2 year old female pit bull (a sweetheart) but pulls hard. Hope this device stop the dog from pulling over the bicycle.

My dog is a labrador mix weighing about 45lbs. He pulls a little and he still manages to pull my bike a bit at first if I don't pedal fast enough to get him going fast. Once he's running and tired he doesn't pull. I'm also petite and my bike doesn't weigh that much. If your dog is that big and and strong and LOVES pulling then I would not get this unless you can somehow control the initial pulling and weigh enough to keep the bike under you.

I have a 65lb Husky Hybrid that can pull tirelessly. The only issue I've had is the plastic sleeve included (I'm assuming to be used to keep the mounting bracket teeth from marring the seat post) doesn't allow for the bracket to "bite" into the seat post thus allowing for a little slippage. Aside from that very, very minor issue I'm extremely pleased with the Cycleash.

My 55 & 45 lb. Pit mixes are fine with them. The collar has holes almost the whole way around. You could cut the extra off as its just plastic. I saw them in UAE on pit bull puppies, certainly less than 30lbs. at a training session, so I believe they would be fine. My pit/hound mix responds to the vibration & the other is a little more stubborn, needing the static shock. I had back surgery & these collars allow me to control them both on & off the leash. It has also helped to stop unwanted behavior with only a couple of zaps.

We have 2 70 lb dogs and tie them to this. it's held up very well. my only suggestion is be sure to put it far enough in the ground and be sure it's in there solid (if the ground is wet there is some play in it, but it's held up so far!

My dog is an energetic 2 year old white german shepherd. She also weighs in at 110 lbs.I had her walk along side the bike (with the attachment on) once daily for 3 days, then I hooked her up and walked the bike with her alongside for 2 walks. Finally once I was sure was OK with it we were off. Other than my boking skills being a little rusty...Bella did fine.No pulling, just a gentle trot along side. It is strong, easy to attach and if room allows youcould also attach a 2nd lead so the dog has more room. Hope this helps.

I have a 70 lb American Bulldog and the collar is a bit tight on him to the point that I don't like putting it on him. However I have put it on him before and he definatly responds to it. Also the collar I beleive/feel that the clip is cheaply made and I had it on my 40 lb black lab and it broke. I still need to get a different collar so I can continue to use it. Hope this helps.

If he likes to curl up and sleep it should work fine. My 60 pound pointer- pit mix sleeps in it and keeps his toys in it , but when he wants to stretch out he sleeps on the floor or the sofa.

I have a Belgian Malnois. He is about 75lbs. I use the leash for tracking and training and haven't had any issues. This leash is not for tie out because they could easily chew through it.

My dog is about the same weight and I would call her a very aggressive chewer. This is by far her favorite chew toy and it has lasted way longer than I ever expected. It is chewed up pretty well, but she still loves it and it looks to last for a good while yet. You might want to give it a try. Good luck!

As long as the dog is not pulling away it should hold up. My 18 # Border Terrier will pull although with his lighter weight the bike is still easy for me (a senior) to stay on the trails and paths. This item has allowed my dog to run and still be safe.

I've had this since January with two dogs (one is 75 pounds, the other is 105). They have pulled and run and tried to dart off, and it's always held up. I've been very impressed with the strength.

I purchased this for my male pit bull who is approx. two years old. He is 60 pounds, like a medium sized dog. I also have a Black Lab that is 80 pounds but I don't think it would fit her. I would say for a medium dog definitely!

I have a 70# pitador. He actually can crush biscuits through the Kong with his jaw to get them out. I find this as good exercise for his busy jaws. No rips or tears in the Classic Large. As mentioned in my review, the opening on the XL is too lbig to hold treats. Med seems small for your lab and your growing husky

Oh yes...I have an 75 lb.English Bulldog with arthritis and he loves it! He sits by the dryer waiting when I wash and dry the cover wating for his and I have to take it into another room to put the cover back on it or he will try to take it away from me and lay down on it. I guess he doesn't realize it takes both pieces to make the bed comfy.

I would think so unless he is a real puller. I mean a dog that chases after things like rabbits,etc. Still I think you will have no problem with the cable. It says what weight they usually are on the front of the package I believe. Now that I looked at the cable it says under 50lbs so I believe you would have to go to a heavier cable 50 and over. But they are real nice cables had mine for a long time. Go heavier. Kim Johnson

I have a Pitbull/Lab Mix and she weighs 68 pounds. We always get the medium-sized Chuckit balls and she hasn't destroyed one yet. Have fun!

Wow, I don't really know the answer to that. If your pit was not trying to get out - then yes. It has been more than sturdy enough for my two, but they aren't pit bulls! Sorry I can't be of more help -

I used it on my 12kg miniature schnauzer and it worked well - only complain is the bulkiness. Especially the strap at the front shoulder, it is quite thick and broad and it does seem to press against the throat whenever my dog gets very excited - check out from other bulldog owner whether this is an issue as bulldog has a large neck (if not wrong). The harness is really well-make but slightly cost so if you can, try to get a fitting in a pet shop if the shop allow or make sure there is free return without having to pay for return postage. Hope the above answer helps
