Could this work for a small dog? I've taken my little dog biking before but she darts in front of the tires, so can this accommodate a small dog?

the perpendicular portion that attaches to the bike frame is adjustable. if you are able to attach it on a lower portion of your bike other than the seat post it should work fine. And it doesn't have to be perpendicular. you don't really want to clip on an extension because then there will be too much leash and in-the-front-of-the-tires-we-go. I have a 100 lb dog and it works perfectly. opposite your dog size, but excellent product. a lady that works for county dog control turned me on to this.

Yes, it works very well for my Minpin and Chihuahua. I had to add a little strap from the fastener to reach their double halter. It also works when just one is on it, and my husband walks the other dog. They weigh 8# and 10# each.

there is an accessory sold separate called walky dog low rider that allows you to use the walky dog with dogs shorter than 10" in height. This attaches to the rear wheel axel and not under the seat post.

The instruction book says that the tension is adjustable for larger and small dogs. It is set up for larger dogs and you would need to make the adjustment. There are three chords in the tube. You will need to take one or two out. With this said, i can't say for sure what's the smallest dog this adjustment will accommodate. I am using it with a large dog.

I think it could work, but two things come to mind. If your bike is at all tall, you will probably have to add length the the leash in order for it to reach your dog's collar. You mount the Walky Dog under your seat, and with the leash provided, even our German Shorthair was pulled upward until we added length to the leash. It's a fine balance of giving the dog some flexibility and making sure the leash isn't long enough that the dog can run in front or behind. Our dog really took to running so we can give her more leash now that she knows how to maneuver next to the bike. The second thing is that you'll have to ride really slow in order for a small dog to keep up. Good luck. We love the Walky dog! I think it could work, but two things come to mind.

We have a border collie and it works perfect for her. Not sure for a bigger dog

i would say no right off the bat but how small is small? there are weight limits- i wouldn't put it on any dog below 25 pounds

It's adjustable,but l think I remember reading that this is not appropriate for small dogs. I'd check into size/lb. requirements.

We have a twelve pound mini schnauzer and it works well for them. It is adjustable in the girth. I am not sure as our dogs are bigger.

I broke the front tire on mine with a 20 lb pug and a 7 lb bichon. I was in New Orleans on cobblestone roads, so that may have been most of the issue. Lol. Overall, I've had both dogs in this stroller many times with no issue on weight, but only 1 can ride in the front. My bichon was always pushed to the back by her cousin the pug. You may want to consider a wider stroller for 3 dogs, even if they are individually smallish.

I would'nt use it for a child. I don' t think it would be confortable the way it is made. I would want something made more sturdy for a child. Hope this has been helpful. For a small dog they are perfect.

Legor, I will ask the person who uses it more than I, but I haven't heard mention of my Australian Labradoodle doing such a thing.The bike rider says, "I don't know big a dog that is, but I don't think a dog would be able to jump on a bike wheel while attached to this. It is a well made device."

I suppose the danger of falling is always present when on a bike. I would not try it with the dog until you are comfortable on the bike. I recommend starting slowly as you and your dog get used to it. Most important is of course the dogs obedience. If you have not done proper obedience training I would not attempt to ride. I have seen it used with a recumbent bike which would make you a lot more stable.

It would hold a small dog weight-wise, but you might want to reinforce the brackets with zip-ties to make sure it doesn't wobble, especially if your dog moves around, etc. It's pretty deep as well, so depending on the size of your dog, would likely be fine. Putting a front rack on will depend on your bike. This basket is pretty deep, I have a dutch-style bike with fenders and it works fine, but you will want to pay attention to the dimensions before buying/installing another rack below.

i would not recomend it on a dog that small. i used it on a cocker spaniel dog that wieghs approximatly 15 pounds.

I don't have the low rider attachment I have the seat post clamp so I can't really say, but my dog is very strong she could probably make the back tire slide sideways, but I think the key is to keep your dog moving fast so they don't have time to think about doing anything else.

It should be fine. I have a 25 lb. mini goldendoodle and could fit in another with her. Keep in mind, that they are not 'strapped' down inside the tube. In the event of an accident however, the will just get tossed about inside the tube, better than being thrown into the front seat or windshield, and should a door pop open, they will be secured safely inside.

I think you could. I have a 30 lb mini Australian Shepherd who rides in it every day and loves it.

She might not have a lot of spare room. My two smaller dogs, 25 lbs and 12 lbs ride in there together, but to be sure I think I'd get the larger one

I have a 21 lb terrier mix who fits well if her head sticks out. She loves riding on my bike!! Just got back from a three hour ride from Palm Springs!

Absolutely not, it hasn't worked very well with our 14 lb dog and would say it I better for maybe a 10 lb. dog. Have you considered getting one of those carts that goes behind the bike?
