Looking at the design I wondered how easy it would be to do an altercation. Thanks for the tip.
Yikes, sandy hill and squirrel!
Nope, nothing about that being illegal. We just have to have our dogs under "reasonable restraint" and leashes must be 6ft. or less. Looks like the Springer would meet the leash requirement.

That said, I've never been in a situation where the safety release would have been any help anyway. I've only fallen once since I got the Springer five years ago and that was going down a big, sandy hill with a malamute, who decided she should chase a squirrel off to the side of us.
You should also check your local by-laws before biking with your dog in any fashion. It may have changed now, but when I lived in Calgary it was illegal to bike with a dog attached to the bike by any means!

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
