Dog Trailer?
 

I'm shopping for a dog-specific trailer to tow behind my tandem. The dog is 20 lbs , Id love to hear your recommendations and experiences.

their version of a CarryFreedom Y trailer http://www.carryfreedom.com/project/the-y-large/

My BOB holds an eighteen gallon tote. I usually use the tote around town for trips to the dumpsters, recycle center and stores. I do take the critter to the vet---in her "room"(crate) covered with a blanket in cool weather. She loves to ride.

I live in rural Georgia. That means you have to have a dog to protect your trailer house against thieves stealing the nothing you have. It's funny when they run out to bark and chase the bike away and the bike barks back......stops the "killer" watchdogs in their tracks.

The Burley is one of the first I looked at. My two reservations about the Burley is the short trailer tongue and the $400 price tag. I do like the 23# weight and the better than average build quality.

Since Burly makes a number of different trailers , now with a square tube* .

you may find the tow bar from another of their products, Longer ..


* when still a worker owned CoOp the trailer design was different ,
I have a FlatBed Its Round tow bar hinges down to store It ,

2_20" wheels which are using regular front QR Hubs.


Now the factory is Offshore, Like so much Is ..

Carry Freedom has plans for a DIY trailer: Carry Freedom Website | 12. The Bamboo Trailer - Carry Freedom Website

You might be able to adapt it to your purposes.

They also make some flatbed trailers you could potentially adapt, but they're not really any cheaper than the Burly purpose built pet carrier.

It has been my experience that the smallest, most run-down, most poverty stricken houses are the ones with the highest number of no trespassing signs, gates, and number of aggressive dogs. The biggest, nicest houses (i.e. the ones that might contain something worth stealing) are more likely to have no signs or fences, and if there are dogs at all, they are far more likely to be labradors or lap dogs.

Come on, you don't need a trailer for your dog.

I ordered this one from Amazon ($121 warehouse deal) I researched most every trailer I could find, The common denominator is they all have sheety wheels. I'm guessing I will be ordering some Phil Wood wheelchair hubs and Sun rims after one season. Solvit Products. Medium HoundAbout Bicycle Trailer, Steel

Those hillbilly dogs might take a bite out of your $300 Sidi's. However its the distracted-Escalade-driving-soccer parent from the big nice house that may well turn you into a greasy spot on the road.

Hooked up trailer today and took a 10 mile ride with Molly dog. Perfect size for dog and holds 4 bags of groceries. OK construction quailty but not as heavy duty as my old Winchester Originals trailer but it doesn't need to be. Sealed bearing hubs with steel rims. The spoke holes in the hub are not relieved so I will probably be re-tensioning spokes frequently.

I just use my daughter's old kid trailer. Works for a smaller dog.

I just bought my dog a trailer very similar. He is a 70 pound pit bull but a giant baby. I'm trying to train him not to be afraid of it. Did Molly just take to it automatically? Boogie is a little freaked out that it moves when he steps in it. Cheese cubes are helping.

We brought the trailer inside with the trailer wheels off and fed her treats for a couple of days to get her accustomed to being in it. She was fine in the trailer the first few minutes I pulled it with her in it, but got anxious after 1/2 hour. On subsequent rides she has settled down.

Thanks. We haven't attempted a ride yet but have put the wheels on. Baby steps.

Several years now since I trained my dog (got him at 4 yrs old) to ride on the side of the longtail and in a trailer.

Made him jump in and out of the longtail while bike standing still. Walked the bike with dog innside and gave a few treats. Not a lot of training, just to give him the picture.

Then I rode with him running next to the bike until he was fairly exhausted. Then offered him to ride. He said thank you wery much and was wery motivated. I told him he was a good dog.

After this trailer and other solutions was no problem. He loved to ride with us and knew he could rest in the trailers or on the bikes. He was a boardercollie so a really bright dog of course :)

How's the trailer working for him?
I'd like to put my big baby in one, but not sure there is a trailer big enough. Here's a picture when i could still pick him up:
