How strong is this? I have three very large dogs. (I'd only be walking one at a time, but it needs to last)

I put 2 boxers on it at the same time and is holding up fine. They normally don't pull too much but get excited when other people/dogs are around.

It says it can hold up to 70 pounds... I would probably agree with that. It is very sturdy and well made. The most weight I have ever put in there is 40 (4 smaller dogs) and it holds very well.

It only works well if your dogs are trained not to pull and can walk/run beside you. I have two small dogs and because they get excited, they pull. So I've had to sew it a few times to make it last... I guess to answer your question, it's not that strong. Hope this helps.

My Labradoodle was about the same weight and age when I started using the gentle leader. It helped me walk her a lot better, in fact, I still use it today and she's now 8yrs old and at 107lbs. She's normally calm, sweet, and very loving BUT also a very strong dog. She can probably yank my arm out of its sockets if she tries to run after a squirrel. The gentle leader helped me then and still helps now. Your dog will always kind of resist when you put it on, but they do get used to it. Make sure you follow the directions for the fit.

It's very sturdy. I can stand and walk on it no problem and my son is 105 lbs and he tides bikes and skateboards on it. It would certainly hold a large dog.

The clip on the device is pretty strong so I can't imagine the dog breaking free. Also, the tether keeps the dog away from the bike, so they wouldn't get hurt by the bike either. If you fall on the dog, well, that could happen running with them and the only advice I could give would be don't fall. :) Honestly, my shepherd bolted after a cat last night, she is about 60 lbs of brute strength, and the bike didn't shimmy. It's a very well thought out device. This is great as long as you aren't tree bashing on a single track trail. I love it and the dogs immediately used it without any trouble.

Think it says it can handle 55lbs. I've used it with my 26 lb dog in it and it eventually failed going around a corner with the bottom brackets bending from stress*.I bet with a more solid and stable mass (bags, books, boom box, Buju Banton) it would handle things better. *no dog was hurt in the writing of this review)

for walking it would be fine.. i would not recommend leaving the pup outside alone on it for any lengthy times.. It's strong but i doubt it would hold up to persistent dog gnawing..

It's pretty strong, but will sag, so you may have to have it pretty tight between the uprights. My large dogs ran into it a lot (it was around the in ground pool) and it never tore or split.

I have a German Shepherd that is 75 pounds, a cocker spaniel that is 21 pounds and a Yorkie that is 12 pounds. I use this system to walk them at campgrounds. As you can imagine there is wildlife, people and other dogs. Lots of distractions. I walk all three at the same time. I weigh about 140 pounds. This system helps me use my weight to contain them and I can also tug on the lease if they are starting to pull. It also leaves my hands available to pick their waste. I recently added another German Shepherd to the mix and need to order another lease. I highly recommend this product. Hope this helps.

its sturdy so it would definitely can carry 28 lbs dog. im not sure how tall ur dog is but medium size or little bigger then medium size dog might not be so comfortable in it. i can fit 3 of my cats in it but they cant move around at all therefore i only take 2 out at a time, each one weighs 12 lbs. not sure bout dogs but if they like to chew around the zipper part of this stroller not strong. my stroller has already ripped from the mid zipper.

I don't think is strong enough to hold a dog that large. Look at a large wire kennel cage.Dan

Oh totally! Just make sure your dogs meet the weight requirement. I love mine .. My dog is not such a fan but she's getting use to it. I feel so much better know she's safe when traveling with me.

We have two of these. We have big dogs. The material is very strong. The weak point as it is with all these crates is the screening. If the dog paws at it it does rip. I have no complaints with it, especially for the price

I use these on all 4 of my dogs. We have 2 huskies, 1 wolf hybrid and a pit mix. Works wonders. I can walk all four of them at once without any pulling and altogether there is 350lbs of dog there. Also, we go to the dog park every day and all 4 run for 1-3 hours without any issue at all. The brief answer......it does not affect they way they walk and they are totally able to run freely with it on. The harness does not "force" them to heel. Since the leash is attached to the loop on their chest, it simply breaks their momentum and prevents them from pulling.

Yes, it is strong enough. I have used this lead for my Bernese for more than a year. But a word of caution. Please be sure that the lead is securely anchored. Also if your Bernese is as active as mine don't leave her unsupervised for long as any lead can snag and entangle the dog.

It is actually pretty strong but I don't think I would let two 16 lb dogs get on any winter cover. No matter how strong the cover is you still take the chance that you as the consumer may not have secured it tight enough and the dogs may drown. I would put up a barrier for the dogs!
