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.
Has anyone ever used this kind of thing? Will it work well with a husky or will he just pull me around? He is pretty good about not pulling to much when we go running. Can anyone offer any advice about this kind of thing?

I know there is a thread on here somewhere related to the walky dog. Quite a few of us use it. I use it with Frankie and we LOVE it. Before I bought it, I walked Frankie next to the bike while I walked the bike. then I got on just holding the leash and going slow. I just wanted to make sure he was comfortable with the bike before I invested in the attachment. He has been great on bike rides. No bike rides for the summer as it's too hot down here. But when it cools down it's a great way to burn some of the excess energy. So the walky dog get 2 thumbs up from us.

Check the "Springer Attachment" thread, I think in product recommendations.

I've been wanting to get this for Blitz (I think part of his pulling problem is that I can't walk fast enough for him - and I cannot run to save my life).... I'm hoping Santa....... aka the husband....... will get me this for Christmas or my birthday

Actually, I should have mentioned this on the other thread about walking them. I started walking dogging each of them before attempting to walk them together and it's so much easier for them to obey your commands!

I found the following thread to be supremely helpful in tips and product recommendations from members on their different biking attachments: cycling with your Husky
I personally have a Springer Bike attachment for my sibe. It costs a lot more (more than double what the Walky Dog costs) but I liked the spring action and shock absorption that it offered more than the Walky Dog. I also liked that I could sort of customize the Springer more to my liking which didn't seem to be an option with the Walky Dog.

Got my WalkyDog this past Friday and we've been training with it. At first he seemed abit scared of it but after some training exercises he's getting it real fast
Can't wait to give it a try with my boy
