Will the pack flop about for a dog who likes to run? I walk my dog off leash and she sometimes goes for a swim or does 25 mph sprints. also she poops at an extreme angle with her hind legs practically touching her front ones like she is about to sit on...

It has 3 buckles to cinch to make it the right fit and also a buckle to loop it around the collar so there is really no movement of the pack! We run our dog with it on and it stays 100% put. He even rolls on the ground with it on! It shouldn't shift while pooping because it attaches at the collar, we have no issues even with our male dog who lifts his leg to pee with it on!

I walk Irish Wolfhounds, whose heads are at waist height, and the short handle is either in my hand, if I want to hold them close, or suspended in air by their shoulder if I am letting them walk on the end of the leash. For a very short legged dog this would not work well.

As Charity said, use a head collar and not a halter. I don't think your dog's neck will snap if it chases something. I did have to teach my dog a hand motion for stop because with the head collar there isn't much control of the forward motion, only out. However in the straights I definitely end up racing my dog, I'll move faster so she will and we just feed off eachother (great workout); this is definitely a great choice for the sled dog breeds.

My dogs get zero chafing. They are pitbulls aka they don't have fur on their undersides aka sensitive skin. We run, hike, jog, walk, and skip :) it's a great buy trust me.

I feel like this pack does not anchor down very well. My dog is big and it still floats to one side even when it is empty and it does not hold its shape. Other dog packs that I have used have had a much better fit and design. To answer your question- it is my opinion that a skinny dog needs a better skeleton and padding design to their pack. At least that is what I was left wishing for.

If your dogs walk well on a leash it should be fine. I am short too (5'1") I took my small dog out that is wild on a leash with the stroller and she never got in the way of me pushing it. I have never walked a large dog while pushing it because that's my boyfriends job when we got out for a walk. =) Either way, large or small, if your dog is trained on a leash you can walk him/her with no problem with this stroller. Hope this helps.

My pup is a Husky too. This has been a great leash for our walks in the park and has already lasted 3times longer than the first 50 leash I bought(it was a diff brand from our trainer) and this one has a wrist loop,which our old one didn't.... In short... I highly recommend it for a Husky to get the off leash exercise necessary, while on a leash.

I am not sure if the steps are good for your dog or not. My dog is a small German Shepherd who can no longer jump into our vehicle. She weighs about 55 lbs. which is below what the steps are rated at. The snap together design of the steps did not hold together when she would run up them. Maybe if I had glued it together but I did not. All I can say is to use your own judgment. I did not like how it went together.

Hi JoshYes this is a good question. I have a much smaller dog "schnauzer" . She does a great job eating out of bowl, slowly but when she's starving there is very little movement chasing bowl. I give the bowl 5 stars!!

I don't think so. My 25 lb hound tried once to run ahead of the bike just her whole body went up against the spokes and she backed off fast and never tried it again...i had no problem staying upright.

Going poo was no problem, the bags wiggle a little but they weren't all over the place, the bigger problem is getting your dog used to something moving around on their back when they are running. Tikka never had difficulty moving or running to fetch sticks and what not, there is very little restriction once the pack is adjusted correctly.

I would say it depends on how long legged your dog is. Mine is a cocker spaniel so her tail is snubbed. And I would think as long as you didn't fold it back they shouldn't be able to reach those areas, but it depends on how irritated the dog might be. Hope this helps!

I would say No. Not comfortably. My dog is 5 pounds and he has little room to rotate. 10 pounds, max. Also, experiences from our hikes, the padding is heavy quilt and no air circulation so, on hot days your pet will overheat. I have been wrapping a gel icepack at the bottom to keep him cool.

It moves pretty quick, if your dog is small it would be great but I would not recommend fore a large dog!

Hello, I haven't taken mine out on the trails yet. I do absolutely love this stroller and would recommend it to people for sure. I looked at a few at petsmart and put my 13 pound yorkie in them and they would tip very easily. This stroller does not tip, it is sturdy, has a little leash inside to attach to his harness if needed and works well in the city streets and grass. I think it would be fine in the trails, but again, I haven't tried that yet. Good luck to you! Oh and it collapses and opens up very easily too!

My pup has grown to 15 lbs now and I feel like its a bit small for him. What happens is a lot of times he'll lift his left and ends up aiming off the pad, or only his front paws are on the pad and his behind ends up off the pad. I guess it all depends on what size wee wee pads you use.

I have a 75 lb lab and I don't think I would be comfortable with her in front of me. Your legs are moving to pedal the boat and the further back you are the harder to reach the steering handle. Might be better to have the dog next to you or behind you in the rear foot well.
