Well there's nothing wrong with it in the truer sense... but its not really big enough and not stable enough, plus if a dog should sling shot (not good) it would tip up and whoever is on the brake will end up getting bricks land on there feet (not good either lol) though its still ok for training use :)

Don't be daft its safe as house if the dog stats yanking and jumping and ur going to crash hit the brakes and lean back if u lent forword u would defo fall off lol but it would be safe ill jump on show ya lol its no that light either its made out of good stuff super duplex steel lol never rusts I think its made to go under the sea in oil rigs lol but most people would keep a thing like that out doors any so it would be ideal

Great job there , It looks the dogs bollocks Mickey ! It should be perfect for Hiit training as well , All my dogs have pulled me on my bike with a harness on , The APBT I had weighed 62lbs and pulled like a train , so good brakes a must with big dogs like your fella . the speed he got up to was amazing ,rough ground,hills,and grass all were no problem to him and thats without me peddling , use to put the brakes on a little bit just to make it hard for him ! ha ha
I first put him on it when he was about 6 mths old but never let him really pull me , but he got use to the bike and commands , and when he was 11mths old I pushed him a bit with it ,as he was game for it ! I did about 6 miles on the flat mixed surface not peddling and at a fast pace ! encouraging him to keep the pace when he slacked off .at about 6mls he started to flag and get bored so I unhooked him and rode back as fast as I could , he stayed with me no problem . it took about 1hr 10mins . He did it no promlem ! so after that , I would use it all the time ,no matter what the distance . Good luck with it Mickey

I wouldn't go like that all time Mickey , but I allways went out on the bike a did a couple of miles every day or 2 .
my favorite workout for him use to be 3mls steady run along side the bike , then turn around and clip him up to me on the bike and then let him pull me as fast as he could till we got back , then I would put him on a spring pull for about 20 mins .

You done a good job there, hopefully there a picture below of the one I built. I am in the process of building a bigger one with 26 front wheel and 20 rear. Good brakes are a must.
