Came across a great organization today working to help disabled Americans in wheelchairs enjoy the outdoors with the help of specially trained wilderness service dogs. Check out their site here http://www.tailtrex.org/
WalkyDog Bike Leash Videos From YouTube | A Compilation of WalkyDog Videos From all Over
I have compiled all the videos that I could find on Youtube with people enjoying their WalkyDog bike leash with their dogs. I will continue to add to this playlist of videos. Click below to see all the videos. If you have any photos or video to share I would love to see it as well – please respond to the post if so. Enjoy!
WalkyDog Bike Leash Lets Dogs & Owners Exercise in a Fun New Way
A dog bicycle leash is a great way for owners and their dogs to get great exercise together and have fun doing it. Obesity is a growing problem among family animals. The complications that come along with it such as diabetes and arthritis can lead to high vet bills and ultimately a shorter life for your best buddy. Because we all want are dogs to live long healthy lives, it is important to make sure they get proper exercise.
The WalkyDog dog bike leash lets you safely take your dog with you on bike rides by letting you keep both hands securely on the handlebars. The WalkyDog features a patented internal spring system that acts like suspension when your dog pulls. It puts you in control – not the dog. Riding a bike is much more fun than just walking your dog and it allows the dog more freedom to run and release energy.
Below is a collection of real WalkyDog owner testimonials. Learn why WalkyDog owners become lifelong advocates below:
Pefect Design
“I purchased a WalkyDog so that I could take my 2 year old Basenji with me on some of my bike rides. Because it mounts on my seat post, the bike remains very stable even when the dog tries to veer off or jerks on the bike. The leash itself is very durable and is attached to a spring on the inside so that when the dog darts after a squirrel (which happens a lot with my dog!) he snaps right back to the normal running position. I tend to angle my WalkyDog arm backwards about 30 degrees rather than mounting it at a 90 degree angle to the bike, so we’re not very wide as we go down the bike trail. I think this is a wonderful product, and now I can indulge in my two favorite hobbies at the same time—bicycle riding and hanging out with my Basenji!”

Umbra Pet Dog Pop up Tent Review
Just got my 1st batch of Umbra Dog pop up tents in. Man are they cool! You can literally have the tent out of the box and ready for the dog to use in under a minute. The carrying bag is great and allows you to just throw the tent over your shoulder and take it anywhere. I can see this being used for hiking, camping, bringing your dog on a picnic, using as a portable home when visiting a friend, containing your pet in the car….I could go on and on. The thing that struck me most about the tent is the quality of the material. They say the viewing vents are made of “claw proof material” – I believe them – this stuff is tuff. In fact the whole tent is made of very durable material. It’s something that you really don’t get from just looking at a picture. I decided to shoot some video to show off the Umbra Dog. Hope you like it….
Brinkley’s 1st Ride Using the WalkyDog Low Rider Attachment
Here’s a video I took today showing 2 ways that small dogs can go on bike rides too – either using the WalkyDog Low Rider or custom length cord with the regular WalkyDog jaw clamp. You will notice in the video that I am going pretty slow – especially compared to how I ride with Parker. It is very important to ride at the dog’s pace – especially for small dogs. I also like to use a dog harness when biking my dogs. This is a must for small dogs in my opinion, but some people choose to attach to the collar with larger dogs. Just use your best judgement. Enjoy!
My 1st attempt at filming while using the WalkyDog
I decide to test out my new camera with Parker using the WalkyDog the other day. It was a little difficult getting used to riding one handed while trying to shoot, but I think I got some decent shots.
Hello world!
This is my first attempt at blogging so it may be a little rough at first as I get used to things. The main stars of the blog will be my dogs Parker (crazy but lovable Lab/Pointer mix) and Brinkley (spoiled rotten miniature Schnauzer that thinks she is a big dog). I will also post updates of what is going on in the family life. My wife Jenny and I just welcomed a daughter into the world. And the rest will be left for in use videos of some of the products at The Dog Outdoors as well as just other dog news in general.
