Awesome video! Super hepful info
I ordered an air 2 in XS and it didnt have the lumbar support straps ... i bought one at a store and i thought it was defective.. then i ordered one on amazon and it didnt have the lumbar support straps either.
How cool are they? I live in a warm southern state. Would my aging 18-pound mini Aussie overheat in these backpacks on a trail? I carry her when she tires.
I laughed so hard ... the end is so sweet. And I am gonna buy.
Can I use this for my cat?
Need one for a two year old besinj
What size is and model is Patriot in? I have the same sized goldendoodle and would like to get this one for her!
20- 23 in. Large. You still should measure from base of collar to where tail starts.
I also have a goldendoodle lol
Exactly! Thanks for responding to Frank!
I like your product. How can I order from Bangladesh?

What's kind of dog is Patriot?
Standard Golden Doodle!
@@k9sportsack981 He's an affectionate cutie! He makes it an informative video that is also fun to watch.
“Slide” 😂
shame there is only one chest strap and no support on the hips like a proper pack.
They have a model with hip support if you go check their website.
can I ride a motorcycle with a 60+lbs full grown gsp lady?
It's up to whether you think you can handle the weight! We'd suggest practicing first with a backpack weighted with books or rocks to get a feel for whether or not it'l be too heavy.
No! 😮It’s far too dangerous when you bank round corners the dog will try to straighten up not lean over
Just a very quick question? why would you not want your dog to walk along with you?
I can think of a few reasons: sometimes the dog gets tired before the human, rough terrain, dogs that love to go for walks/hikes, but have physical limitations (like my dog who is blind).
@@jenniferhayes1294 When it comes to dogs that have an impediment that would either stop them from walking or make it unsafe! I would suggest not taking them on the type of walk that requires the use of a backpack but rather a safe place where they can explore and become mentally and physically tired in safety. The idea that it would be safer traversing rough terrain, too rough for a quadruped, by placing them on the back of a biped in a position where they cannot protect themselves is laughable and unsafe. I think we would all be on the same page wherein the case of an owner who could not meet the exercise needs of their dog aka an energetic able-bodied dog and a less energetic owner. We would all voice the opinion it was unfair on the dog. So why is it different when it comes to energetic owners and less able or less energetic dogs? Is it for that look at me moment where people see you on your bike or a trail and think ''How cute is that'' Meet the needs of the dog, not the owner? dogs need to see, smell and taste the world around them, they can't do that from 4ft + up in the air on someone's back, but that's just my 2 cents.
I have a 12 year old Westie. He is still in good shape and can go on short walks, but no longer the long walks/hikes he used to do with me, up to 8 or even 10 miles. He still loves to go on hikes with me, and I still want his company. So, I carry him in a pack and he LOVES it. He looks all around and often gets lulled nearly to sleep. I love it, too, as I still want him with my on my walks/hikes. It is a win/win situation, and I am so grateful I found this pack.
@@UIrish75 I know, I thought like you before I had my current dog. And by the way, I personally have zero interest in what people think of me when my dog is in a backpack. My dog is not an accessory but a companion, a family member. For me, my dog frequently travels in a backpack for a couple of reasons; 1. I don't drive and want to take my dog with me when I ride the bike to places in the summer. I also have a bike trailer for her but she hates it. She much rather sits in the backpack near me than in the trailer. She has better views and she's better supported by leaning on my back rather than in the trailer. Walking is not an option because the journey daily is far too long and takes too much time. Of course we also go to ordinary walks. 2. My dog has a very thin coat without undercoat. She hates the winter, she absolutely hates it! She doesn't want to go out when it's cold or rainy. Even in full clothing, she just doesn't like it. So in the winters, my options are either to leave her at home or take her with me in the backpack. She first walks but when she has had enough, I can conveniently put her in the backpack and continue the walk. She prefers it over staying alone at home.
I totally understand what you're saying about the dog needing to see, taste and smell the world around them. But a backpack isn't intended to replace all that altogether. It's just a supplement to enable things like those that I detailed above in my life. It has made me so much more free going to places with my dog and she's happier that she can come along when it wouldn't be possible without the backpack. For a dog, even living in a human house isn't natural, or dog in a car, that isn't natural either. So there are things where we have to bring unnatural things into the life of the dog, and it's OK, as long as they also get to do what they naturally would do. Like walking by themselves, sniffing and tasting the world. These things like a dog backpack just help us live together better, human and a dog, if used appropriately. :)
@@corinnecorson3045 I have a Westie of 22lbs but I don't know what size K9 bag should I get. Can't decide between a Small and Medium size bag. What weight is your westie and what size bag do you use?
