I know, Glacier, that you said Kayleigh can't get into it with another dog while she's on the springer, is that because she doesn't try at all since she's running with you, or because the springer actually prevents her from doing it?
Finn could still try to go off to the side, but his movement would be pretty limited. He wouldn't be able to pull the bike over. The spring absorbs the energy of the pull and keeps you upright.

It works for Kayleigh in part because she's so happy to be running that she is better at ignoring other dogs who are leashed. But when a loose dog approachs us as long as I keep peddling she has no choice but to follow along.
