1. What is the WalkyDog®?
The WalkyDog® is a tool for guiding and training your dog by riding him along with your bike.

2. What are the main advantages of the WalkyDog®?

As a matter of fact, the benefits are quite numerous:

•	It ensures the full safety of the biker-bike-dog trio at every moment while riding;
•	It allows the biker to safely indicate a change of direction, since no hand is tied up holding the dog;
•	It allows the biker to perform other activities like smoking, answering a mobile phone, etc ... (always keeping in mind, of course, street regulations and common sense!);
•	It allows you to ride two dogs at a time, one on each side of the bike;
•	It allows both the biker and the dog to train together, keeping both fit;
•	It protects the dog from passing cars and from getting tangled in the spokes of the bike;
•	It can be easily disconnected from the bike in less than one second, for when you are using your bike without your dog;
•	It can be transformed into a damped leash in practically no time, allowing the biker to control his dog even when not riding the bike;
•	It can be installed on the bike (just the first time) in less than 5 minutes by anybody — all you need is an allen (hexagonal) wrench.
•	It will not scratch or damage the bike, since the fixing clamp is supplied with a wide rubber band to protect the bike's paint;
•	It can be easily moved from one bike to the other: you just need to buy one complete WalkyDog® and, one spare clamp for every bike you want to ride. By simply connecting the WalkyDog® to the bike you wish, you'll be able to ride any bike with your dog;
•	It is universal, meaning that you can install it on practically any kind of bike: mountain bikes, city bikes, men's bikes, women's bikes, new bikes, old bikes, small ones, big ones, etc...;
•	It doesn't require any training for either the biker or the dog. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to use. And your dog will love it, too!
•	It is very light: just 16 oz. and absolutely not cumbersome;
•	It can be used on all types of terrain, both on and off-road, always keeping the your driving safety unchanged;
•	In case of an accident, it ensures that the dog will not detach from the bike and dangerously wander out into traffic.
•	In desperate situations and only if absolutely needed, the WalkyDog® can be used to protect your dog and yourself from attacking animals (both four-footed and two-footed).

3. How does it work?
It works in a very easy way: by means of a jaw tightened to the vertical saddle-holding pole, the aluminum bar containing the shock-absorbing mechanism is attached to the bike's frame. Then the cord is attached to the dog's collar by a snap link ...and you're ready to go!

4. What kind of dog can use the WalkyDog®?
Practically any dog! As a matter of fact, it is very easy to adapt the cord length to the height of your dog, by simply adjusting the number of the internal springs that work as the shock-absorbing system. However, if it seems a little too technical, don't worry: an easy cord length-adapting table (referenced to widely known dog breeds) is printed on the product package. Simple, isn't it?

5. Who can use the WalkyDog®?
Almost anybody, since absolutely no training is required for either the dog or the biker. Just use your common sense (sorry, we can't sell it along with our products!) and don't let young people shorter than 5 feet tall ride with big-sized dogs.

6. Does the product need any maintenance?
Not at all!

7. Can the cord break or the snap link detach from the dog's collar?
Any product is, theoretically, subject to mechanical and/or material failure. Nevertheless, the WalkyDog® has been engineered and thoroughly tested in order to reduce this possibility as much as possible.

8. What type of bicycle can I use the WalkyDog® on?
It is universal, meaning that you can install it on practically any kind of bike: mountain bikes, city bikes, men's bikes, women's bikes, new bikes, old bikes, small ones, big ones, etc...

9. Where can I buy the WalkyDog®?
You can find the WalkyDog® in pet shops and bike shops. If your favorite store is out of stock at the moment, don't worry — you can buy the WalkyDog® on-line and we'll ship it to your house.
