We have two young 80-90 pound Giant Schnauzers. We use these every day. EXCEPT one of the batons we purchased (not at the same time and from Gulf Coast Pet Supplies), the "metal" snap clip for the harness/collar snapped and broke allowing our dog to go free (thankfully, well behaved and came right back) and then today the blue cord on the wand gave way, again allowing our dog to run free. Both of these issues happened on the same baton. The other has given us no trouble whatsoever and our dogs love to run next to us.
A warning with those with big, powerful dogs: the dogs CAN pull you off course. And the clamp can swivel some (not so much a big deal). Our dogs ran besides our bike on leash before we got the Walky Dogs and we MUCH prefer the Walky Dog. We are now trying to purchase just the baton.
Certainly isn't a perfect product (thus 4 stars - the missing star for the faulty baton) but certainly better than running your dog with a leash and your bike.

Walky Dog Hands Free Bicycle Leash Review

We received the Walky Dog two days ago, and I couldn't resist testing it out right away. I attached the leash to his collar and walked my bike out of the driveway. We tested out making some turns while we walked on our quiet street. I was still walking at this point so I could see how it all worked. My dog is significantly smaller than the German Shepherd in the product photo, and the leash was pulling on his next. I felt like I was strangling the little guy. Then my husband saw in the directions that you can remove two springs from it in order to accommodate smaller dogs. We did that, and we were off again. The leash didn't pull on him this time... but he pulled on the leash. I could tell that he was anxious to go faster so, with trepidation, I got on the bike and started pedaling. He trotted alongside me, happy as could be. When I began to pedal faster, he kept up easily and started pulling me like a sled dog. At no point did he bump me, even as we were turning corners. Somehow, the Walky Dog keeps him just the right distance away.
I will warn you that it's definitely not as easy as riding without a dog strapped to your bike. I can feel him pulling me, and I have to really hold onto the handlebars to steer against his pulling. At one point, he saw a cat, and I thought for sure he was going to pull me off the street. Neighbor kid couldn't help but laugh, even though he tried to hide it.
We went around the block. When we got home, I let him off the leash, and he did a happy little race around the yard before coming back to me, ready for another go. He really loved it. So I attached him again and we went a little farther. Yesterday - day two of owning this product - we went about a mile. Every time we reached a stop sign, I paused to see if my dog was still happy. His tail was wagging, his ears were cocked, and he was very alert. When I let him off the leash, he again raced around the yard, very eager and happy. Not at all traumatized. This is going to be a great product for helping him exercise and take the edge off his high-energy.

The stainless steel WalkyDog lets you ride your bike and walk your dog at the same time. Just attach the hands-free leash to your bicycle's frame in less than 5 minutes. No training for you or your dog is needed. You can use the WalkyDog on any terrain, even off-road. Since both hands are free, controlling your bicycle and signaling turns are easy. If you're riding your bike without your dog, you can disconnect the WalkyDog in less than 1 second. Or if you're walking your dog without your bike, the WalkyDog is a regular damped leash too. Works on virtually any type and size of bicycle, including mountain bikes. Not cumbersome and weighs only 16 ounces.
