Hi guys,

since we got our little dog we don't bike and do miss it! i know this might be a daft idea but is there a decent trailer out there? I know innerwolf do one they are a dog gear specialist, so has anyone got/use one any help/advice much appreciated we know we won't be able to go on rough tracks, and before you say get the dog to run he is a miniature dachsund so not really relavant ๐Ÿ™‚

many thanks

Andy

plenty places selling croozer stuff in the UK (ive got a croozer kid2) so if you like it i wouldnt expect getting one would be a problem.

Saw someone using a kiddie bike trailer to take there dog on a bike tour this week, thought it was a fairly special interest thing to do. Seems not.

What about modifying a bob trailer or similar? Then you could off road on moderate tracks?

I just bought a normal kiddie trailer, took out the seats and fitted a bit of ply to the base for support and threw a dog bed in...use a car harness to the top bar to stop the dogs jumping out...works fine.

No, just use mine for the kids (I've got a proper dog so I doubt he'd fit ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

Just fit some mini roller skates or boots to your dogs paws. Not only would your dog look awesome but the weight saving over the trailer solution would be a real bonus.

Why cant your dog run with you? I take my dogs out and these include a papillion, a chihuahua/pom cross and a mastiff collie cross. Just modify your speed to the dog, single speed is good for this. Start on short local rides and build up. Someone did a good thread about this somewhere on here.

I don't see the point..what does the dog get out of being dragged round behind a bike? just leave him at home and take him for a proper walk before and after the ride!
