I cut approximately the first three feet off of a retractable leash
(the end with the the clip attached). Then sewed a loop in the other
end big enough for the clip to pass through (you can tie an overhand
knot if you do not have access to a sewing machine). I attach the
leash on the right side of the frame just above the seat material by
passing the leash around the frame and then passing the clip through
the loop. Size the length so your dog is running next to your front
wheel. You can push the leash to the right to train the dog to run
next to you and not in front of you. For a dog like a husky or other
sled dog use a harness instead of using a collar.
I keep a separate leash with me to use when we get to town, etc.
