I wish to take my large well behaved dog for a walk. Will a walker allow me to maintain my balance in case we are approached by a ill mannered dog?

Most defiantly , when I walk my 120 ole' English Bulldog I have no trouble keeping my balance when approached by other animals and he gets very playful and excited around other animals. I just turn and sit on the seat if I don't feel comfortable with my balance.

I wish you the best on your new purchase. I suffer from chronic Back, leg and back pain and never know when my leg is going To give out on me. I have a new independence to my life with this walkerin front of me.

Knowingly nothing about your stability level, that is a difficult question to answer. It is hard to turn the walker over but it can be done. There should be no problem with walking a well behaved dog, but if that dog should take off...?

Hi Barb! I have unfortunately had to us this a few times...I try to bring it with me every time I walk my dog and I live in a very rural area. However some people do not obey the leash law our town has with dogs. On a few different occasions my dog and I were approached by dogs that were "loose" and unaccompanied by an adult...WELL...my HALT came in very useful! The dogs retreated away from us... and we were able to not be harmed in what could have been an ugly situation. I hope this helps you! :)

The walker I purchased has been used for many months by a 5'-2" woman with no wobble problem. I also made a "wobble" comment, warning that an unusually tall and heavy person could have stability issues.

I think this would be a nice walker for a large person. it is a sturdy walker with a wide seat.

I walk an 85 lb shepherd with no problems. Not sure about 3 though. I love having hands free to clicker train and having full motion means we can walk faster. Love mine v

Yes it would. It is very flexible and does provide the ability to allow your dog to be fairly normal when moving in and out of doors. It is a 5 star.

It wouldn't be comfortable. Our dog weighs about 20lbs and has plenty of room to stand and turn around, but I think a bigger dog would be cramped.

Technically, dog must be able to STAND and move about comfortably. But as long as your dog doesn't look like a squished sausage, i doubt any airline folk would have a problem if you dog is a bit too tall.

A large dog would have no problem stepping over this. My gate lasted a week it was not made very well.

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.

I don't think so. My two Australian Shepherds barely fit (55-65 lbs each)...and I usually stroll with just one at a time in it...

I don't believe it would work for that. A free standing walker would be a better choice maybe.

No, but there are other pet strollers that can be. That being said, if you want to walk your pet, this is an excellent stroller. I'm tall so I modified the handle a bit, but it rolls really smoothly.

I would think they would be fine my dog was bigger and could not walk so was hard to position her

Yes but you need to make sure you the velcro is securely around the leg. The boot has traction around the top of the boot and sometimes the boot will turn as the dog walks but mine doesn't seem to mind. The dogs have to get used to wearing them so they may not move a lot at first but keep trying they will.

the walker will support his weight if he is using it for balancing while walking, but the handles may not rise high enough to be comfortable. I am 5'6' and have the handles raised up to the 4th highest. Might be advisable to check with the manufacturer about the height of the handles.

I think the leash will be large enough to go around your Dane; however, as the leash wraps around the dog it's not going to leave much leash leftover. So he/she would be walking very close to you. I guess you could always try attaching another leash to the handle of this one if you'd like to allow the dog more room like you would have with a regular length leash.
