Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Welcome Asaroka! Lanto is gorgeous! Just curious where you got your bicycle attachment and how you like it? |

| Thanks! It's actually a just bungee leash from Howling Dog wrapped around my handlebars. Surprisingly, for the amount I bike with Ianto, it's only slipped under the front tire 3-4 times, and only one of those times was really bad. Ianto is wearing HD's Distance Harness, and was wearing HD's Dura Booties while running. Since the only bike trail that is close enough for me to walk to is asphalt, he has to wear the booties or he'll wear his pads raw. In the spring I was thinking of getting a bike attachment since Pittsburgh salts too much to safely bike with a dog in the bike lanes in the winter. I have a basic plastic sled and a wheel dog harness for snow |

| Hi Ami, Thanks for the info about the bungee leash. That's really smart that you use the booties to protect his feet. I've heard great things about the Springer bike attachments. The plastic sled and snow harness sounds really fun! Makes me want to find some snow, LOL. |

| I can't wait for snow! I do need to get a new sled. I broke mine last year :C
Are the Springer Bike attachments the ones where if you go on one side of a pole and your dog on the other, the thing snap-releases?

| Bummer about the sled, but it is a nice excuse to do some shopping, LOL. Yes, that's the Springer. Here's the manufacturer website you can check out for more info, but I know you can get a good deal on Amazon. http://www.springeramerica.com/ Edited to add, I found more info on Amazon than the Springer site. http://www.amazon.com/Springer-Bike-Attachment/dp/B0087YCI42/ref=sr_1_1/177-1881541-6969840?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1415563227&sr=1-1&keywords=springer+dog+bike+attachment Also, here is a less expensive brand of bike attachment, available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bike-Balance-Dog-Jogger-Kit/dp/B004KGD9W6/ref=sr_1_4/177-1881541-6969840?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1415563227&sr=1-4&keywords=springer+dog+bike+attachment The owner on http://www.gttsd.com uses a Springer, but she also uses a leash and collar simultaneously, just in case something happens with the Springer.

| Yeah: that's the one with the auto-release. Ianto has a really strong prey drive, so if he got loose he'd start hunting.
I was looking at one that attaches below your handlebars and extends a line over your front tire so it won't get tangled. Since huskies were bred to pull and follow directions, I think that would be the better route. I'll have to find the website again and share it. |
