Does anybody here have one?

Looking for some recommendations on models for city and bike path rides with my 25kg shepherd dog.

Pics always welcome ๐Ÿ™‚

Hmm. Is one dog going to be enough? Even a shepherd is quite wee compared to a dozen huskeys

OK, they are doing it with three. Maybe wheels are better than snow, and also no gear being carried

Errr you know he must mean to actually pull his dog rather than being pulled right?

This type of thing's not too expensive.

The one in the pic - US based though, but you could probably find it here.

We had a trailer for our 20kg collie lurcher, it was great fun but the dog took a while to get used to it. It was actually a kids trailer but she managed to fill it up - some of the proper dog trailers i have seen would be a tight squeeze for bigger dogs. She never really liked being zipped in and much preferred to sit upright with her head out like a tank commander, it was adjusted so she couldnt jump out though

It was surprisingly hard work towing 20kg up hill!

My niece uses the Burley dog trailer for her Lab. They both seem to like it

The lab looks happy. Does he get splattered with mud from the back tyre when it rains?

We use our old Chariot kids trailer for our dogs. They both love sitting in it.

My brother got one for his dog from zooplus online pet shop so I assume it's the one linked below.
Apparently his Sprocker spaniel loves it ( I'm just glad the dogs parents weren't the other way round for its own sake).

I've got one that we used to use for our lab, she was just under 25kg.

Happy to let it go for free if you are willing to collect from Swindon.

Folds when not in use. We also used it as a 'crate' for the dog when travelling too.

Let me know if you are interested.
