My dog is 75 lbs and pulls me all over the place on a reg. leash. Would this buddy system leash fix this problem or make it worse?

I have a German Shepherd that is 75 pounds, a cocker spaniel that is 21 pounds and a Yorkie that is 12 pounds. I use this system to walk them at campgrounds. As you can imagine there is wildlife, people and other dogs. Lots of distractions. I walk all three at the same time. I weigh about 140 pounds. This system helps me use my weight to contain them and I can also tug on the lease if they are starting to pull. It also leaves my hands available to pick their waste. I recently added another German Shepherd to the mix and need to order another lease. I highly recommend this product. Hope this helps.

It will help but there is only one true fix and that's where I'm at......Training class for mine! But this lease has definitely helped.

It will help, since the center of your body is what will hold him, rather than just your arm. But he'll still pull you with this leash. I job with my 30 lb dog - she tugs at me when she starts to make a dash for something. I have a different leash that stops her from pulling at ALL when walking her. I don't have the container to remember the brand - but it comes down her back and wraps around her stomach near her back legs. This one works incredibly well - it gets snug on her hips when she tugs too much & she stops instantly and goes back to a nice walk.

Short answer is no... You really have to work to keep the tread going, even at a simple walking pace, so you dog will end up simply standing on it wondering why you tied his/her leash to this weird looking thing. You're better off getting a cheap powered unit for a few hundred more. Hope this helps!

Yes I believe it would, the main thing is to ensure that his collar is on snug around his neck or using a harness. My dog is 90lbs and while he pulled hard when he was a puppy up until he was about 3, at 10 years old he still pulls but no where near as much as he used to.

I don't know but... I would buy a "gentle leader" leash they are great and worked instantly for both of my dogs that were very difficult to walk on a leash!

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.

If your dog is well behaved, this lead is perfect. If your dog tugs and pulls then you should look into a restraining type of leash.

Yes. I used it for a 9 month old black lab I was fostering. He was medium size, about 40 pounds and pulled extremely hard. This leash worked amazing with him.

No I used the leash coupler to walk 2 German Shepards weighing close to 70 pds each on the 2 ouside clicks and then punt a Schipperke about 20 pds between them and then walked all three dogs while I used a cane because of disability. this 3 way leash made it easier for me to walk my dogs, control them and still get exercise myself. Hope that helps.

I haven't noticed a problem. My dogs are 20 and 26 lbs. Each leash is independent and just goes up to the one handle. Sorry I'm not describing it very well. I find this much easier than using two separate leashes.

I bought it for a dog that won't lead, at all,, he just lays down,, this lead only made him lay down faster. I put it on another of my dogs and she was distracted by the new straps, that may be why it keeps them from pulling

The leash is rigid except where it joins the bike and at the last 10" or so where it goes to Snoopy's collar. If you dog is less than 60 lbs, there should be no problem. If he is 90 lbs, or you want to use a splitter and run two hounds of that size, then it's a bit light duty for that. So to answer your question, a medium or smaller god should pretty much be kept away from the bike wheels.

We have a 75 lb Setter, but I believe it's reliable depending on the harness you use. We purchased the thickest harness. Sorry I don't have the packaging to see if there's a recommended weightLimit. I think it's also important you keep the length short so there is little slack for your dog to move around too much. We tried it with out 8 mo puppy and it was not a good solution, even with a harness that fit her. She chewed on the other seatbelts and anything else within her reach, so car/crate only for her.

I would assume so. We have a dane mix who is quite strong and we are not as physically able as once we were. Walking him was difficult for us. With this harness he cannot pull. Anyone can walk him without issue. He is not bothered at all by it. He reacts just like when we get the leash, excited. It is a great tool.

Yes it will be perfect. My dog weighs about 20lbs as well. I sometimes wrap the leash around her chest and sometimes I don't. It works either way. I like the leash because its a sturdy leash and its long. I really like it. I hope I helped.

Easy walk harness? Great for dogs that pull when you walk.. Not designed to train loose leash walking or heeling... I think it is a bit restrictive and I would not want my dog running with it. It really is just best for helping people control dogs that pull too hard on walks and don't have time or ability to train loose leash or heeling behaviors.

You could help a little but not too much. The straps are designed to pull back on a dog that's lunging forward. If you pull forward/upward, the front strap becomes useless and the bottom strap will dig into the dog's armpits. If it is just a little weight/pressure it will be ok. But too much force and that bottom strap will be very uncomfortable for the dog, plus the whole harness could slip off.

The way the leash is set up, you sort of adjust the size of it to fit your dog. My smaller dog is now about 35 lbs and it fits him well. When he was only about 20 lbs it definitely still worked it would just not stay tight around his waist. But it was also a factor of him learning to walk on a leash too.
