I have a 10 lb poodle. Does it fit small dog?

If I were you, I would contact the company in order to get an answer to your question. I believe the bike tow leash would fit a small dog, but I would want to hear it straight from the company. Here is a link to their contact. http://www.biketowleash.com/contact.php It does seem to me that the human would have to pedal pretty slowly to avoid dragging a dog with very short legs. On the web site, you can view videos of the system in action to see how fast the dogs and bikes are going. I got mine to accommodate a 50 pound dog that runs about 20 miles per hour!

Yes. You will need to rotate the arm so that the leash sits at shoulder height for your dog. But, for a 10# dog, the BTL might be overkill. You could get away with a WalkyDog.

hmnnn....it should fit, one adjusts the angle a bit depending on dog height.

Any dog that you use a tow leash with should be wearing a harness. You don't want to attach the tow leash to a neck collar as you could injure the dog. You could use this with a small dog such as a poodle, but you would need to be gentle in your riding so that you don't end up dragging the dog along. Also, if you have an older dog you would have to be gentle with them. As long as you make sure you are riding the bike at a pace they can easily keep up with the dog should be fine. The leash is not so stiff that it will not flex with a small dog, but the rider needs to be constantly aware of the dog's pace so that they don't jerk the dog around or drag them.

Since the leash attaches to the bike at a low point, you could hook it up to a smaller dog. But would it be wise to run such a small dog? I'm not familiar with mini-poodles, just don't want you to over-exert the dog. It's a good cardiovascular work out for canines and humans as well.

I have not tried it with any dog other than my 70 pb lab. The part of the leash that actually ties to the dogs collar is flexible and can move quite a bit (I guess designed to allow the dog to avoid obstacles). So I am thinking that most likely it will fit smaller dogs. But it is a guess from my part.

yes. it easily angles up or down when your installing it. just match it to your dogs height and tighten.

Yes, just watch the video to see how to adjust it to the shoulder height of your dog.

I don't think so....I have a 18 pound standard dachshund and it was a no go for her short legs. This would work for under 10 pounds and a tiny dog.

Yes. I have a 7 pound toy poodle. She loves it! There's more than enough room for your pet. She has a puppybag, fits below too. It's wonderful when we go for walks. You and your pet will love it! It's the best investment.

I have two mini poodles 12 & 15 lbs. and I think it would be a tight fit. I have one for each dog.

Yes, I think so. My dog is a Pom mix and is around 7 lbs and it fits snug. I think the small would fit a chihuahua.

I believe so. They state the weight limits for the mini you might need the next size up for your pooch, mine is a 9 pound Chiweenie.

If they are on the smaller side and don't mind being close, it could. We strolled our 10lb puppy in it and was fine until he reached 15lbs (standard poodle)

No, this training device is too large for a ten pound dog. I believe Petsafe makes a version for smaller dogs.

My friend uses them as well for her bigger dogs. She says its too big and bulky for her 10 pound poodle.

Hi, for smaller dogs it's great but the material does not stretch and I just gave my away to a medium size poodle it was a little big but he loves it

Yes, but it's fairly short. My dogs are 18 pounds-ish, and it fits them okay.

I don't know the dimensions either, sorry. It was recommended to me by a friend who has a 10 pound poodle for my 14 pound jack Russell. It is for small to medium dogs not big ones. I hope this helps you some what.

I know size yes should be fine on the weight as well. Our poodle is 20 and fits fine

no. Unless there is a larger size. Mine is perfect for my 10 lb dog. I love this, I can move it around and take it out on tne balcony when I want to leave her outside.

It will fit a 10 lb. dog or smaller. It would not fit my 16 lb. dog, but fit my 9 lb. one.

My 6 month old miniature poodle (now about 6 lbs) fits perfectly with room to spare. I was able to meet both her parents at the breeder's and based seeing them, I know she will fit when she is fully grown......around 12 lbs. I would go ahead and purchase - it is very well built. Also, I know that if I have to return something that Amazon makes it very easy. (In case you should find it will not work for your dog)
