The Springer ROCKS!!!! I have one and I use it all summer long. It keeps the dogs right beside the bike and out of harms way. I even use mine with my dog aggressive 120 pound malamute. I can get Kayleigh by other dogs, people ect with no problems.

I bypass the safety release thing that comes with it. I'd rather take a fall than have Kayleigh get loose. Never been an issue yet though.
