Good for running with my dog?

Superb for running w/ your dog!! Make sure to watch the DVD before you attempt to fit or familiarize your dog w/ the Gentle Leader as the info is helpful & your dog will get used to it faster! Also don't be discouraged by your dog's initial dismay at this new tool. He/she will get used to it if you do exactly what the DVD says regarding not applying tension on the leash while your dog struggles or fights it at first. Some dogs take longer than others to get accustomed to it. But it works great for running or biking w/ your dog because it turns your dog's head back toward you and completely curbs pulling. Think of it like a halter on a horse, which is painless & eventually pleasurable for both you and your pup!

I think so. I don't run with my dog, but if you have a problem with the dog wanting to outrun you, this should take care of it.

Our dog has shown great improvement since we bought the gentle leader. She pulled strongly before this collar. We walk fast and she responds well with it. Running should be the same. I would suggest a trial with walking and build to running. Just make sure it is attached correctly. The enclosed video was helpful.

Only if they don't hate it and try to continuously get it off of their face. I reccomend a pinch collar.

Yep. Walking or running. The leader keeps them in step. Just remember to bring water for the puppy :-).

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

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 don't want to discourage you, but I don't think this is a very good idea. I find that the vest doesn't fit that snugly (at least on me) - it bounces and would probably chafe. But I've only tried with a T-shirt underneath. Maybe with another layer or two it might work, but then there's the heat factor. I've been walking briskly on a treadmill (along with doing pushups and pullups) with it and that's works nicely, but I think that running with it might be overly-ambitious. But I could be wrong.

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 :)

My dog has no problem running with it, but he's a big German Shepherd. A smaller dog might have more trouble. I'd say the ball weighs about as much as a soccer ball, if that helps.

i go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.

I only use it for walking, and it works fine for that. Not sure about running. Sorry.

Sorry to be so long answering. I think you would need the large size. I see it is on sale now, so might be a good time to try it. Some people seemed to find it quite helpful. And I am sure as most dog lovers, we are willing to try anything to help our best friends!

The dog only has a few inches of slack left or right so I've never had a problem with my pup running into the bike. He tends to pull forward and away from the bike but since you can have two hands on the handle bar its easy to control. I have a 1year old high energy English Cream Golden. I use this at least 1-2 times a week - I'd recommend it.

It's held up great during running with my dog. If you have disproportional weights in the pockets though, the pack will start to lean to one side and is awkward for your dog.

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

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.

Only just now got around to seeing this! Man.No, these wouldn't be great for running. I mean, they're pretty lightweight, but they can fall off your ears relatively easily, especially with all the jostling. Earbuds are definitely better for that sort of thing.

I work with it on and it can get knocked out pretty easily. I don't run very much any more. I went for a little jog this morning and I think I would be able to run with it. A hard run I don't know my knees won't let me do that anymore

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 've not tried it when running. But I tried it while walking. It comes with different sizes of rubbers pieces so you should be able to find one that fit tightly. My answer is 90% sure it will not fall when running, if you find right size of rubber pieces.
