I didn't see this before... it actually looks fairly decent. I have used the Ruffwear Webmaster harness (for lifting, when Luna tore her CCL) and really liked it.

I'd be interested to see how their quick release function works... it looks like there isn't any metal hardware which is great.

I would recommend emailing them and asking them. I've found them to be absolutely fantastic about customer support, including pre-purchase question answering. They also take feedback into consideration when they make changes and updates to their products.

Looks like tons of fun. It's hard to get much practice in here in Texas though.

There's always canicross (hiking/running), bike-joring, and scooter-joring.

True, we have a bike leash and we do that everyday. We hike with a less elaborate set up. Nice though when she pulls me up the hills.
