Question 1

Does using the "Low Rider" attachment keep the bike steadier when your dog pulls? My dog is pretty well behaved, I just want to minimize my chances of

Accepted Answer

It keeps the dog a certain distance from your wheels, and the dog cannot go behind or in front of you.  Otherwise, it's really how your dog behaves when riding with you.  Mine thinks he's a musher or something; he pulls incredibly hard, and I have to keep the brakes lightly on to keep him from going too fast.  Once we ride a couple of blocks, he settles down.  You can still get hurt.  My dog "planted all fours" to relieve himself.  He stayed in place, I toppled over.  With that said, I will add that my dog LOVES LOVES LOVES the Walky Dog.  Whenever he sees the bikes in the garage, he starts barking, dancing, and singing until you give him a run.  My dog is a 70-lb. Labrador.  Other smaller dogs probably wouldn't be a problem as far as pulling you off to the side.  However, with a big dog, you're going to have to keep an eye on them and be alert for sudden stops, or distractions (like a squirrel) where the dog may want to detour.  I don't regret the purchase.  Like I said, he absolutely loves his Walky Dog and goes nuts over it.  It's a great way to exercise your dog.  I'm 60, so I can't run him, and it seems like walking just isn't enough to wear him out properly.

Question 2

Can this be used on the right side of a trike? my bike path requires right side travel--thank you!

Accepted Answer

I believe the standard is right side (the company's ad picture has it on the right side), so I would really think so. I used it on the left because my dog only has his right eye, but I remember thinking it would have easier to attach it on the other side. In the end it will come down to your bike, but it is built so that it fits most bicycles. If you send me a picture of the trike I can make a better guess? Sorry I can't give a definitive answer. Best,Markus

Question 3

I have a quick release for my rear tire will the low rider work with this? Or is there a better modification to work with a corgi who is 10 inches.

Accepted Answer

You will be fine.  The quick release pin fits perfectly in the attachment.  When you take off your tire the walky dog will come off with your pin.  I notice virtually no difference taking off the wheel when this is on the bike.

Question 4

Will that attachment also work for a larger dog?

Accepted Answer

yes- both of my dogs are large 55 lbs & I use it with them
