Jonathan –
As a dog parent who loves hiking and biking but has a small breed pup (a 15 lb terrier mix) who tires quickly, the K9 Sport Sack Trainer has been an absolute game changer. It’s comfortable, durable, and thoughtfully designed for both the dog and the human. I chose the harbor blue color and glad I did.

Hope you both enjoy many adventures together!

We love this. We use it to take our dog out to socialize when we want to limit interaction and keep her safe. It took a short while for her to adjust but it is easy to use.
