Dog Question for Cohen

David said:

So, we have this cycle path - which your dog can run along with you - (my
lowchen is now 1 year old) - he loves to criss cross in front of me so I am
forever braking and yelling at him and I've had that many near misses now.
He is having a great time and can't seem to understand. How do I train him
please?

thanks - good idea - will get that - (I was trying to train him so that he
can still be free to chase birds and whatever)

It can be done, but it's a LOT more work than this nice, simple,
effective device.

Maybe rig up a quick release so you can let the dog go chase whatever,
and then hook 'em back up for the ride.

Thanks. Makes sense. (guess I'll buy the beers then after dinner)

Run him over. Once should do it, maybe twice, but he'll learn.

I actually tried it - hit him a couple of times when going slow - didn't
work

I would hope that they have some kind of quick release already.

I keep picturing someone riding along, with their (big) dog attached to
the bicycle via something like that and wondering what happens when
the dog sees a cat (or something else to chase) off to the side.

It looks like it is attached to the bike in back of the rider, which makes
the cyclist more stable than if it was attached in front of the rider but,
still, one second you're riding along and the next your bicycle is trying
to go sideways. Or the top is trying to go sideways and the bottom
is insisting on staying on the road and not going sideways...

Uh... How fast are your reactions and what would your typical speed
be?

They do, but it's a one time use, replaceable, breakaway device. If you
want to quickly release the dog to go chase something, a reusable quick
release would be better.

The device flexes, but you still have to train the dog to use it
properly, or you'll be replacing the breakaway constantly.

How are you, Art? You make some good points particularly if a large dog. My
reactions are pretty good - this cycle path is half downhill (and half
uphill) - so I'm coasting/braking going downhill to cut down on speed - and
get my exercise going uphill (of course speed is not a factor going
uphill.) So my little dog has no problem getting in my way

LMAO! I'd like to see a video of a St Bernard out for a run on one of
those things, when a deer saunters by.

Do you mean where it talks about a "safety release" (their quotes, not mine)?
If they didn't have the quotes, I would expect a safety release. With the
quotes, it is something that can function as a safety release but is not
necessarily intended to do so.

I just looked at what other purchasers have bought: a replacement for the
"safety release". That suggests, as David says, that it is a one-time use item.
If the dog stays with it's owner, fine. If it is easily distracted (keeping in
mind that David's (the upside-down one's) dog apparently hasn't been
trained to ignore distractions) that may be a problem.

Hence my question.

Having the dog under control on a cycle path is absolutely essential for
the dog's safety and that of fellow cyclists. If you hit a dog at any
speed you're going down and the dog will not fair much better. Plan
stops in your journey for off-lead behaviours, but please keep your dog
on the device that David (him, not you) recommended while on the cycle
paths.

Yes, it definitely seems the way to train him to keep away from the wheels -
been reading about it, a clever idea for sure

I just didn't know if you had seen that.

If one has to continue buying a breakaway, the product may not be
worth the money.
