I'd like to hear how many miles do you think you and your dog have put on your bike tow leash? How is it holding up?

I've had this for almost 3 years and it's still in like new condition. We've put about 100 miles on it so far. This was the best purchase we've made for our dogs. I highly recommend (a few of my friends have since bought BTLs for their dogs, and they also love them).

I really haven't used it too much but he does like it My husband worries that it will be too much for him and puts him in a tow cart but the dog wants to run with it. It is holding up well.

up until the weather got too cold I was biking about 1 1/2 hours four times per week. I love biking with my dog and the tow bar makes that possible, making it a safe way to bike with my large pulling dog. Have to use a harness though because he pulls too much. Keep a leash on him as well to control his head or incase I need to detach him quickly from the tow bar.

I've easily put over 100 miles on it and its holding up great. I've never had an issue with it. People stop me all the time and ask me about it because they have never seen anything like it. I love it and my 70lb Husky loves running with it too.

Since we bought it almost 1 year ago, we have taken our dog on a ride approximaty 2 or 3 times on a normal week, 1-3 miles each time. So maybe around 120-150 miles in total so far. Still very happy with the purchase.

I have not actually used a Walkydog but I can say my Bike Tow Leash is absolutely amazing and well worth the money. I have a doberman that loves to chase rabbits. He is unable to pull the back wheel causing loss of control with the Bike Tow Leash even if he makes a sudden lunge. It also allows him to drop behind the bike on a narrow path. It's also easy to switch from bike to bike.

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! :)

I love this leash. It's totally worth buying. Although I use it on dogs taller than yours. I have two 50 lb siberian huskies and this is 4 feet long. Which is fine for my height dogs but you might need a 6 ft. Just a thought. Maybe do some measuring between the dog and your grasp. I'm 5'6 so if you are closer to the ground it might work? Def works great. Very bright and I'm constantly asked about where to get this since out at night on a dark boardwalk and without notice people think my huskies are "wolves". :)

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.

My boyfriend and I rode together all day - so about 360 lbs. and it never broke. And, he rode alone with our husky puppy pulling him just fine.

I have put about 3 miles twice a week since I got the bike tow leash . When he turns 2 in Feb, probably will go up yo 3-4 times a week. It should last for many more years-- Cody would chew on it for the first 50-100 yards but then would drop and leave it and settle into a nice trot . So you can see chew marks but I doubt that would reduce its longevity.Depending on your dog, you may need to take him for long walks with the bike for a few times before you actually bike.Good luck. It's been great for my Aussie that needs serious exercise.

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.

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.

This is a GREAT leash... I use it every day. I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. (Mine is still a puppy so he doesn't pull much)

I have used these leashes for several years now. They hold up very well and the lock will stop them in their tracks, just make sure you are holding on to the leash tightly (I'm sure you know this). We use it on a 80 lb GS mix and a 65 lb Pitt Bull with no problems at all.Hope this helps you.

I am sure you should be able to wrap some wire around your handle bars or frame so that you can safely carry the dog repellant. I simply carry mine in my shirt or jacket pocket.

Hi Renee, thanks for your interest in the leash the least is stocked at Amazon so I don't have one to look at. As always your purchase is guaranteed so if it doesn't work you can return it for a full refund. Have a great day.

I have a Great Pyrenees Mountain Dog and we use the leash all the time tied to a column on our prorch so he can go out and potty especially when it is too cold for us to go for a walk! The leash is long and strong though he chewed through part of it when bored. Our dog is one year old too. However, despite being chewed it has held up surprisingly well. And your dog and ours are both strong. I do plan on buying another leash sometime when I remember LOL. Also a reminder to soak the leash overnight in a bowl of water before using - the dye runs. I have been very happy with the leash.

If you are carrying her in attached to the bike, it may be a bit of a challenge. The carrier is sturdy enough to hold her but you may encounter issues related to steering and controlling your bike. My poodle is about 9-10 pounds and I'm glad it's not more than that. I also have to retighten the clip attachment because her weight causes it to drop over time.

If I were you, I would contact the company in order to get an answer to your question. I believe the bike tow leash would fit a small dog, but I would want to hear it straight from the company. Here is a link to their contact. http://www.biketowleash.com/contact.php It does seem to me that the human would have to pedal pretty slowly to avoid dragging a dog with very short legs. On the web site, you can view videos of the system in action to see how fast the dogs and bikes are going. I got mine to accommodate a 50 pound dog that runs about 20 miles per hour!

I have not but have had 90lbs on it with no issues several times. The clip does seem a little light weight ( so to speak) but it held. I figure when and if it fails I will just replace it with a carabiner.
