Unable to clamp tight enough to seat post. Stainless steel bolts galled and I couldn't remove it. Had to cut the bolts free. Seat post was damaged by the bracket. Tried black oxide and nickle hardware, and I was able to tighten sufficiently that the bracket did not slip, however now my seat turns when the dog pulls, and it's not for lack of tightening. Our dog is 95lbs. I would not recommend this product for dogs larger than 45lbs.

Aircraft quality aluminum; well manufactured. Heavy duty, but the spring is too tight. My 50 pound dog pulled my seat around without the spring budging, and my seat was on so tight, I had to loosen it to turn it back. No point in having a spring that doesn't give!

I have used this on 3 different dogs today. The first dog it went really well it was a lab mixed with pit bull about 75 lbs. Although that dog pulled a lot it held up on a 20 minute ride around 16 acre circumference mountain biking. I used it on a mixed dog about 55 lbs and that went horrible. I had to retighten everything as the clamp wouldn't clamp hard enough on my seat post. The dog was pulling me. I retightened it and went once around the 16 acres only to get thrown around by this dog that saw a squirrel. I moved the my seatpost in a circle and moved the position of the attachment. I'm considering returning the product and buying another one that might work better. I have lots of dogs to bike around but this doesn't appear to be the one stop shop for medium or big dogs that might pull.

We have a husky mix who needs exercise daily. He loves the dog park, but it’s not feasible to take him there to play every day. I’ve tried biking with him holding the leash in my hand... definitely not the safest option. Having him attached to the bike frame via Leash Buddy let’s me steer and is safer. The best part is definitely the leash. Love the elastic portion, and it’s super convenient to clip it around posts, etc. when we stop. If he’s behaving, I give him the full leash length. If he starts darting after rabbits, I shorten the leash (which is super easy to do) and it helps keep him under control. The combo of the elastic leash and the spring on the metal arm is dialed in. You can tell they didn’t guess but put a lot of thought and engineering into finding the right combination.

After trying this with my dog a few times I'm definitely returning this especially considering the high cost. While well built, there are several major issues and I can assume any similar product will experience the same. This looks great in theory but in practicality, I have to say it's a miss for me. With any type of compression clamp like this, the clamp will eventually start to move around the seat post as the dog pulls over time. Out of the box it looks well built and I do feel the materials are high quality despite its shortcomings while in use. I did have to supply my own lock washers which were not included and I tightened it down very tight on my seatpost which is of sufficient diameter for the clamp. I fabricate and weld a lot of things so I know how to tighten various equipment properly and in a proper, even order. I know I installed this likely better than most people.Regardless, my dog, an english bull terrier, is somewhat of a puller. He likes to run. Don't they all!? (unless over age 10) Isn't that why people probably get this thing~!!?? In a perfect world you would need a dog that is always staying fully aware of your speed and we all know that is hopeful, so more often than not you are always trying to match the dog's trot or gallop speed and then brake as necessary to slow them down if needed. But as soon as you two get off sync some pulling on the bar will obviously occur. And much sooner than later it eventually causes both the clamp and armature to start swinging toward you or away. If away, or behind you, it would likely indicate you are pulling your dog too much (which is obviously bad).From the outset I noticed that the 6" clamp armature that extends directly behind the seat should be at least 2" longer. I was really surprised it wasn't long enough and had to noticeably push my heel forward on my bike pedal to keep from occasionally hitting the side arm / bar with my heel. I can't believe they didn't extend the clamp arm just a little longer, even 1” more would have greatly helped. I'm a man and wear a size 11 shoe but I don't have huge rooster heels or anything. So this was the first noticeable problem.Next, I felt that the included leash is around 3 feet too long. While a nice elastic rebound leash is included, it is long enough when stretched to allow the dog to quickly get in front of your front wheel (close enough to hit their feet with your tire), or they will try to circle back around you to the other side of your bike causing the leash to rub on your rear tire. My dog is pretty well behaved but let's face it, 99% of dogs often want to cross back and forth in front of you while on walks. This is just normal behavior for 99% of dogs. They're just dogs and they are not used to staying in once single spot at just one speed all the time. If yours does that's a miracle and I bet you spent over $5,000 on obedience training. I also bet your dog is probably bored from not being allowed to just be a dog!Anyway, we rode this around my neighborhood a few times to test it out and I quickly noticed that the biggest issue for sidewalk riding is there is simply just not enough room for the two of you side by side. It's actually quite dangerous because you are either bouncing right up against people's lawns (with dog arm set on left) ..or.. you are riding up against the sidewalk median area (with dog arm set on right). And depending on where you live, these medians can have grass, rock, pebbles, trees, bushes, or areas that have been dug out where there are 3" depressions you can fall into and summarily wreck. Therefore the only safe riding with this product is either right out on the street itself, or some park or trail with very large, wide sidewalks, or, if on residential sidewalks you are really limited to dog on left (which forces them into those median areas mentioned earlier) but then you yourself still get to deal with people's yards, their edge barriers (some are sharp), small knee-walls, occasional fences, etc. So it’s really just rather too risky either way and again, what dog doesn't want to sniff both sides of a sidewalk! It’s just their nature to do so while on any sort of outing. It's just what 99% of dogs do!Back to the armature itself, because the spring is set or attached near the seat post the main bar will often swing toward your feet (heel) as the dog pulls forwards and this catches your heel or leg even if the seat clamp has stayed put. But as I said earlier, it just won't stay put for very for long either. So not only are you occasionally hitting the main bar when it actually is properly straight and square (both the clamp arm and main arm) but as soon as the main arm moves and arcs forward from the spring, it will cause you to stop peddling because it's then interfering with your leg. So clamp slippage and the spring were issues two and three.So to close, a few things are apparent. #1 While this is sturdy and well made, it's just not engineered for any dog that is less than 100% absolutely perfect and fully under voice command as well has the intuition to STAY exactly by your side at all times. Their website site sort of mentions this but it doesn't nearly stress it enough. Maybe given time it would work out. I can at least say that after your dog tires a little they do settle down some. So there's that and older dogs may also perform better (but you also shouldn't run them too much!) Regardless, given all the issues I had with the main clamp and spring and everything moving around way too much, in addition to the sidewalk spacing issues, I just can't say I'd even enjoy the first half of our rides enough to warrant waiting for a better second half after needing to readjust everything.As I often say... what may look great in theory is not always the same in practicality and suffice to say this is definitely the case here. While my dog is a runner I was hoping that this would allow us to do that but like most dogs he also wants to follow his nose and at times it leads him in many directions. I feel the best type of lead would really be one where they are directly in front of the bike. Im now looking at DIY options with 3 pieces of bundled 3/4” PVC pipe to make something myself.
