Would you recommend this for use when running with dogs?

I used this with large dogs (90-110lbs) They kept pace with me instead of pulling ahead. I love this. It has helpded leash train my dogs without being pulled off my feet. They have never had a problem moving fast wearing it. but I am not a runner. Re your question. How large is your dog and how well does he/she pace you? This is a snug fit under the foot legs. Can recommend it for training a dog and causual walks. worth the money

Yes. I use it to run with my large dog and it's very sturdy. I feel very confident that he's not going to snap it and get away!!

I confess that the only running for me involves water fights with my grandchildren, but I have used this harness with 2 separate dogs -1 a very friendly 100 pounder who had very little exposure to a leash and they both very quickly learned to "walk nicely." It doesn't appear to cause them any pain or stress. Love this product.

Yes..it worked well for my 90lb lab..we didn't run but she pulled on it and it was easier to control he

I would think it would be OK to use as long as it's on tight enough. We obviously had our dog's on too loose because she wiggled out of it twice! It should be fine for running because it does seem to be sturdy too. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, let me know!!!!

I suppose you could use it for a dog's barking. I wanted it for when my dog is off leash and wanders too far. I usually use the vibration which is strong enough to get his attention. He then returns to me.

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

I think you could, but I bet you would really regret it after a while, This thing fully loaded is pretty heavy and it is mostly supported on your shoulders which leave me in pain for hours after. I know I just need to get used it it more but its a choir. For running it is very hard since the stomach area is only supported by 2 straps and you would have to really tighten it down, maybe if you were peddling standing up it would be ok.

This one is too heavy and bulky for running with, in my opinion. I should get one that is much smaller and lighter than this. It would bounce around and drive you crazy.

Yes, I use it to run. They come with a 3 separate sets of earpads to fit accordingly with your ear so it's noise-cancelling and stays in your ear fairly well.

I have never ran with this but have gone on plenty of walks. The shocks are okay but I would probably suggest a jogger stroller. It's a little tough to steer through grass and rocks walking. I cannot imagine at a jog or run pace.

my husband uses his while gardening, I don't think it would work well for running as it's pretty stiff

I think it probably would. The noise stops my dog in his tracks (from anxiety howling). I've noticed over time though he has gotten 'used' to the noise & goes back to making noise - just less of it. For fighting, I would probably blast them with a water bottle before this - but I think this would have a similar effect without making a mess.

I would advise against it. It is not that secure and sweat will be an issue.

I use it while running and find it helps. The product is well made and does not slip or move while running.

I have not tried it for running. I use it for kick boxing. Its good for that. My concern is that it might make the skin on your leg raw for running

SLMHP, I use mine for very active zumba, Yoga, aerobics and never have a problem. Since it is fully adjustable for tightness and support, I say that Yes you could use this to support when running. Probably may have to adjust the tightness once or twice during the run depending on distance.

I guess so. This has been great to use while I run, but it does take some getting used to.

Absolutely! In fact I got my best half marathon time after training while pushing my dog in this! I highly recommend it :) make sure the front wheel is tight so it doesn't wobble and you're good to go :)

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.

I don't think it would be good for running as I find it hard to secure so it stays in place when I tried wearing it for jumping jacks. You could have better luck though.
