I need a break away leash before I get killed
 

Do they make such a thing? A leash that would separate under say 75# pressure that you could snap back together?

Why would you need such a thing?

buddy pulling you out into traffic?

getting dragged by the dog ?:1orglaugh

That sounds like my kind of foreplay.

The dog should never be dragging you. The dog shouldn't be ahead of you at all, it should walk/run behind or beside you.

I can walk all three of my dogs with one hand so I'm no certain what the issue is here?

Why do you want your dog to get out of the restraint?

It might run into traffic or bite a kid's head off.

Take Buddy to Dog school. Best money and bonding experience you will ever spend.

He is, but occasionally he switches sides or suddenly stops. On bicycle.

oh thats just an accident waiting to happen... and you will feel it, not him :winkwink:

No shit. I have been lucky so far but I need to figure out something soon.

So, I guess no one has heard of one huh? Maybe I will make my own.

well - youre defeating the purpose of a leash then right? I mean sure you are setting a break away limit, but enough to not throw you on your ass isnt enough to keep him 'leashed'...

not sure what your solution is right off hand...

He doesn't have any tension on the leash until he decides he would rather run on the left instead of the right . . . or when he decides to go back.

He only made a sudden stop once, but that was enough to teach me a lesson. He doesn't need a leash as a restraint.

Then put that breakaway link there and have at it...

Thats one fricking clever dog you have there :1orglaugh

This is what you want.
 

Sounds like you need a Springer Site says it absorbs 90% of sudden tugs. http://www.springerusa.com/images/frontpic.jpg It has a safety release like you want. :thumbsup

you so need to get this and post pictures of you using it :thumbsup

this is quite an interesting idea. I wonder if they have these in Europe. I'll have to check

nice hahahha...

Out of curiosity, what's your reason for riding a bike with the dog.

I wouldn't think the two activities at the same time makes for a good experience as you are finding out. If you get your exercise riding a bike, do that and then go walk the dog. If your riding a bike so the dog can run more I think that's over doing it. The dog can get enough exercise on a nice walk without a bike.

If you're just trying to kill two birds with one stone it might just end up something else besides a bird that gets killed :winkwink:

How the FUCK did you teach your dog to ride a Bike?

Doesn't sound like you need a new leash, sounds like you need a course in walking a dog.

Remember, there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. :winkwink: (no pun intended)

You should train him not to pull.

get a prong collar. Just make sure you use it correctly. Most people have no idea how they are used because they don't come with instructions.

They go high on the neck, just under the ears. Use just enough links to make it snug. It's impossible for the dog to pull if its on correctly. If its loose and low on the neck, then it could become a choker(with prongs) and thats not good.

I trained my Lab with one when he was having pulling problems.
You should focus on some training, or he's going to pull your arm out, or get loose from you. If you want some tips other than the prong collar, let me know.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I don't know why but that really cracked me up.

Running a dog like that is just wrong.

I think we all know that this is for BD's auto-erotic-asphyxiation fetish... he wants to choke out when he beats off, but doesn't have a death wish.

:thumbsup Thank you. Just what I was looking for.

You can also couple that with a non-pull harness that is actually better for the dog as well
