What size should I get for my dog?
The small size is for dogs weighing between 5-25 lbs. The medium size is for dogs
weighing between 25-80 lbs. or a very strong dog in the upper small size range.
The large size is for dogs weighing 80 lbs. and over or a very strong dog in the upper
medium size range. For dogs over 85 lbs. we recommend you use a Gentle
Leader or other type of control collar with the K9 Cruiser.
Will I run over my dog?
Because of the rear wheel attachment the K9 Cruiser Bicycle Leash prevents any
chance of dog getting in front of the wheels of the bicycle, making it impossible to
ever hit your own dog.
Will my dog knock me off my bicycle?
With the K9 Cruiser Bicycle Leash , simply pedal the bicycle. If your dog
misbehaves there is an immediate tug to redirect your pet! You feel a tug and
pedal to control your pet. Your leg strength and pedal power is ten times greater
than your arm control. And since the K9 Cruiser attaches to the bicycle below
the center of gravity of your bicycle, it is impossible to tip your bike.
What if my dog stops suddenly? Slows down or speeds up?
The K9 Cruiser Bicycle Leash allows you to stay in control of your dog through
the bicycle. If your dog speeds up, you feel a slight tug forward. You can choose
to pedal faster and allow your dog to trot or run, setting the pace. If your dog
slows down, you feel a slight tug behind you, and you respond in kind by braking
the bicycle to slow down or stop. You choose the direction while your dog sets
the pace.
Will the K9 Cruiser fit any bicycle?
The K9 Cruiser attaches to any non-motorized bicycle the same way the back
wheel attaches. Simply loosen the rear wheel axle nut or quick release, slide the
K9 Cruiser Bicycle Leash between the frame and the axle, then tighten. Fasten
the Velcro strap around the frame of the bike and you're ready to go!
How far can my dog run?
Every dog is different, just like every person. You should carefully consider your
dog's breed, age, and energy level to decide what is best for your dog. A good
rule of thumb is to go the distance that your dog is accustomed to traveling. You
will find that the distance covered by a half hour walk can easily be covered with
the K9 Cruiser Bicycle Leash in about five minutes. This saves time for you, and
can provide much more enjoyable and effective exercise for your pet.
