In this video I am going to walk though how to set up and install the necessary equipment for bikejoring Harness amzn.to/3mYsb0U Antenna (most important) amzn.to/3o37K3Y Leash amzn.to/3rFqysu
Actually the best practical guide. I'm biting the bullet and getting the full kit you have there for my 3 dog set up. All of the Amazon bungee cables have snapping reviews and I can't afford that happening.
Just have to say this is a great video! Great starter guide! Just bought the whole bike kit from Nonstop dog wear. I would really appreciate a video on how to learn the dog to bikejore too. Im easing my 4 year old Border Collie mix into it now, it's not as easy as I would think.
I think I can answer your "Why the loop?" question. You can use these bungee lines for other mushing activities as well and for some of them, a loop makes more sense. For example, you could use your line as an extension with another line to make it longer and then you would just loop one through the other. Or for sledding, you would attach what's called a tugline to your bungee line and the snap would actually go on the tugline because that's the part that then clips into your dog's harness. You would then loop the bungee line to the sled's bridle. A loop just gives you more options and combinations for different mushing setups. And some people also use it as a walking leash and then use it as a handle. But I do have one suggestion. Instead of looping the bungee line around your handlebar, you should attach it a little lower to the frame of your bike. Then you feed it like you do through the antenna loop. It's safer and better pull if it's at the frame. Happy Trails to you and your sweet lab!
Watching other videos, it looks like they have a bunjee leash with two snaps, on on the dog and then they run the other end through the end loop of the antenna, around the stem, back up toward the end hole and snap onto the antenna wire between the loops. Alternatively also I have seen someone have a strap and ring attached to the bike stem under the handlebars. They run the leash clip through the antenna loop and clip to the strap ring.
Hey, great video! I just recently found Non-Stop products and I'm obsessed. I use that harness and the canicross belt for running. We also purchased the bikejoring antenna and bungee leashes (three different ones!). The harness is amazing! So far I've not used the antenna just yet but I do bike with my dog on the side (road and bike path). I'm looking forward to hitting the trails with him using the antenna.
Mine is a size 6. Not that easy to get harness on and harder to get off. What type of knot do I use on the harness end where that extra piece of rope is used to connect to bungee leash?
Not OP, but you typically use the standard mushing commands "gee" (right), "haw" (left), "on-by" (passing distractions), and "whoa" (stop). Theoretically, you can use whatever words you want but they should be easily distinguishable for the dog and not be something that people around you might be shouting and then your dog gets confused. You have to train these commands on walks before you actually get on the bike. You can use the same setup and put your dog in a harness and hook them up on a bungee leash. Have them walk in front of you somewhere with as little distractions and traffic as possible and many turns along the way. You then slightly pull the dog into a turn when you give the command. Positive reinforcement when they do it right. They usually pick it up real quick. When you feel your dog turns correctly for about 80%, you can start bikejoring :) Good luck.

Nice pooch you have there!

Thank you. Awesome video

Very useful, thanks! Also loved seeing the lil dude so excited to go running :)
"I've got a calibrated torque wrench right here"...(looks at one of his pythons), LOL. Nice video.

I am woundering if you use commands like “turn left” “turn right” or how do the dog know what Way you like to go??
