Customer Comments

I was a bit nervous about trying out the Bikerdog, especially with my 2 year old..... My older girl is very well behaved but still! I took her for a very short ride yesterday. This morning I tool the boy first. (again very short) When I put the harness on Grace she barked with excitement and the bike felt very secure (even when she spotted a rabbit!) We will spend a week herding this summer and they will be in shape for that. Thank you! I would definitely recommend this item! - Terry M

Success almost immediately! Pretty amazing how I kept my balance. The harnesses that come with are fantastic, no strangling. My dogs sleep better than ever. I have gone about 2 miles max with them. Just wanted to let you know I love them! Thanks -Jennifer R who rides with her Lab and Golden one on each side of her bike.
