Bike rack for dog? walky dog vs. Springer? What do you think of these? They attack your bike so you can "walk" your dog while ridding your bike.
I have an Australian shepherd puppy four months now, I thought to get it once he is older. (Too much for one month four years I think ...) They are very active and energetic dogs, and this way I could BIKE for about 15 minutes with it the brisk walking or jogging, instead of having to walk for 30 minutes - 1 hour ... Right now I'm going for 15-30 minute walks and games to look in the backyard. I do not like walking and thought it might work.
What do you think? I know it should be well trained and know how to walk beside me first (the position of the heel).
I think I like most Spinger because it looks like they can move more and not have to walk "perfectly".
What do you think? which one you like better?

I like the sound of the Springer. For this part, "Press releases security dog must instantly run it on the wrong side of a tree, a mouth of, post or similar obstruction, you should make sure that your dog knows to come or sit. Also consider if your dog has a high prey drive or instinct of a hunter and if you trust them at your off-lead.
I like a springer just based on appearance and how I think it will work.
I thought about doing something like that for my dog, but I'd be dead. It is a hunting dog and is always into the wind died or stopped to sniff something. With him being 90 lbs, no attachment bicycle would save me.
I have a Springer - it works very well. It is a kind of heavy, though.
I think Springer seems safer just because its farther from the bike does not work the tails of puppies get caught in your bicycle chain.
