Hi everyone

Just wanted to pick your brains.
My husband is a very active paraplegic wheelchair user.
He would really like to take our yorkshire terrier out for a walk, what he really needs is a little pole attachment to connect the lead to, so our dog walks out slightly to the side instead of in front so my husband dosen't run him over!
Any ideas?

I have no idea if this is any good, but my wheelchair using friend has a chair which has wheels that are similar to bike wheels (large, slim wheels) and this is for attaching a dog to a bike...so would something like this work?

that bike attachment thing looks like it would work!

That looks just great, thanks guys, it would be just what he needs!

That's what I was going to suggest, but was too late!

I saw an accident once where someone was walking her dog on a mobility scooter with nothing to stop the dog getting too close. Her dog lunged out, the scooter kept going and the lead caused the dog to be pulled into the back of the scooter, knocking a tooth out.

eek thats awful poor thing

Good luck hope your husband really menjoys his walks out
I use my bicycle to walk my dog sometimes , as I cant always walk as far as he'd like ,and we have a whale of a time, its so much fun

i have my uncle and i walk are pattdale next to him ive put a lead through the arm rest and used a carbina clip 2/3 way down (cable tie work to fix it to wheelchair) threaded the lead through with enough left to walk the dog safly next the the wheelchair but not around the wheels
