Can the faster be used on 17-19 lb dogs, or is it too strong?

Both speeds can be used on small dogs. I would not use it on the face/head of any size though.

I use the high speed on a 76 lb Golden with a huge coat. It works well with him but Im afraid that it would blow a 17lb dog over! Just to strong on high, however, the low would be great for that size dog. Awesome dryer

I use the low speed for my two 55 lbs. Goldens because they're still a little afraid of the noise. Even the low speed is powerful enough.

The faster? The faster speed?? Of course but make sure you secure the animal prior to using the dryer on it :)

Yes, it's perfect for high energy dogs like boxers. With a little practice, you can really get your dogs running and get an intense workout, without wearing you out in the process. I've never tried it with two dogs at the same time - you'd have to have a good command for "drop it" because the lure itself could be easily ripped if the dogs get into a tug-of-war for it, since it's meant to be chased, not pulled.

My dog is a labrador mix weighing about 45lbs. He pulls a little and he still manages to pull my bike a bit at first if I don't pedal fast enough to get him going fast. Once he's running and tired he doesn't pull. I'm also petite and my bike doesn't weigh that much. If your dog is that big and and strong and LOVES pulling then I would not get this unless you can somehow control the initial pulling and weigh enough to keep the bike under you.

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

I don't see how it could be done. My dog pulled me so fast she was running up by the front wheel. I think this is the best design out there but I did not feel real safe. I have since ordered a dog powered scooter and it is a lot of fun and you can attach 2 dogs to that.

Yes, I used it until recently on a 150 pound Rottweiler. Lost him at 13 years of age. I now use it on a Britany (50 pounds) Love this better than any of the others I have tried.

We have 2 (110lb) Dobermans. We bought two bike tow leashes, one to attach to each side of the rear axle on my husband's enormous 32 inch Cruiser style bike. He attaches one dog to each side, and they tow HIM at about 5-8 mph for 2-3 miles. Every day. My husband doesn't get much exercise, but we've worn out 2 brake units. And the dogs...are in magnificent shape. Thank you, Bike Tow Leash people! Indispensable for exercising large dogs properly.

My dog is about 20 lbs and does great. I am careful not to go to fast and to take lots of breaks. I don't get that much exercise, but she sure does!

Maxine, I purchased two of these, one for the 10lb and the other for the 20lb dog. However, they had no effect on the dogs and I returned both of them. Wish that I could be of more help! Forrest

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 have had great success, my puppy is 30 pounds and since you can adjust the degree of stimulation (I use #3) you should be able to use it on a dog as large as 160 pounds, maybe more, it packs a punch, I tried it on my thigh and wow

I fly with my carrier, but I have to remove the bottom portion. My dog is only 7-9 lbs and he was fine, I'm not sure about a 20 labs. Dog.

I don't see why not. The speed is adjustable, but it does make a sound that your dog may be sensitive to. Also she would feel quite a bit of vibration, so she may not tolerate that. Just a couple of thoughts.

the shock it delivers will be more than enough for any size dog -so be humane and keep the setting low - I tested it on myself at 20 (it goes up to 100) and on the neck it freaking hurt! works best for short haired dogs.

Never! Our daughter has this machine, and she works hard to make it go. I don't think a dog of any size could push it. Good luck with your pup!

Low speed is 600 RPMs, High speed is 12,000 RPs. I have a Maltese and only need to use the low speed on her.
