I never write reviews for products but I just had to for this one. The Rover Roamer Skytrack system has been a life saver. We have an staffordshire Terrier/great pyrenese mix puppy that was around 7 months old when we bought ours and weighed close to 60 lbs. Eventually we wanted to fence in our yard but it takes so much time and money that we are not ready to spend. For the first few months our girl did well off leash in the backyard but as she got older and bolder she started to wander more and we never left her out unsupervised. So I started looking for a zip line system. I did a ton of research and read so many reviews. The cheaper ones on Amazon had a ton of reviews but the options were very mixed. I was warry about this product because of the small amount of reviews it had but I'm sure the price tag is a part of the reason. Yes it can be a bit pricey but I am all about saving up for quality products especially if they make my life easier.

To start I absolutely loved how customizable this product is. The ability to tailor it to your specific needs is perfect. Before buying we picked out two trees on either side of the yard that we wanted to use and measured the distance. If I remember correctly it was around 113ft so we got the 125 ft cable. We chose the straps to mount it to the trees.

The product came quickly and is packaged in a great bag that stores everything perfectly. All of the hard ware was neat, clean, and sturdy. Installation is a two person job and the hardest part was getting the tension in the steel cable because it is heavy. The ratchet strap worked well and we did cover it with a plastic bag mostly to protect the ratchet from getting dirty and rusty and possibly locking up on us.

We went with the chew resistant leash and it is perfect. It is a coated steel cable that is coiled so it can stretch and then condense back up. Our girl has chewed on it a lot and she has only hurt the coating on it and not the cable. The leash extends pretty far so keep that in mind when determining how high to put the cable and where to put the bumpers. We have not used the neck safe bungee because the chew proof leash has a good amount of give, and we only use it with her harness.

The pulley itself is lightweight but durable. It rolls smooth and makes a slight noise only when she runs fast. The carabiners are strong and have locks to keep them from opening unintentionally.

We went ahead and got the set up for two dogs. We only have one but we had family staying with us for the holidays and they brought their dog. I highly recommend that if you think you are going to put multiple dogs on it then go ahead and get the parts. The rubber blue stoppers are put on to the cable like beads and would require you to take the cable down to put more on. The blue stoppers slide easily along the cable so if your not using all of them they won't get in your way. There are clamps that are easy to install and uninstall that you put on next to the stopper to keep it from moving.

When our family came we installed the addional leash and clamps and both dogs had about half of the cable to run. We spaced the stoppers out so they could reach each other and interact but not tangle their leashes. Our family loved it and it was nice to be able to have them outside with us without having to hold a leash or constantly be watching them.

This product is amazing! My girl has the run of the entire length of the backyard. We can play fetch with her, do yard work, recall training, sit around the fire, and so much more. It has been up for 2 months now and has had two dogs on it. The cable has not sagged and can be tighted up and adjusted if it does. Our dog has pulled and snatched on it with no issues. Even running full speed to the end of the leash. With a proper harness and the coiled leash she has not hurt herself.

Some things to note:
- Take your measurements and have a plan before ordering.
- Please use a harness and make sure it is secure and comfortable for your dog.
- Be mindfull because your dog can and will close line you with the leash. I have had it happen several times but each time the leash brushed off me without hurting.
- Also like any leash it will get tangled under and around their legs sometimes so watch for that.
- I would not leave them unsupervised on it for long periods of time. The most I do is put her out there when I'm cooking or doing chores so she leaves me alone. But I can look out a window or step out real quick to check on her.
- This is not a substitute for walks, training, and playtime. Please be sure to do all of these things with your dog and don't just leave them on this expecting it to burn their energy and correct behavior.

I know it is a long review but I had so many questions when shopping for this product and I hope this will help someone else!

Great product, the bag came damaged in shipping but I won't really be using that anyway.

Have had this for just over a week, but so far we really like this run; it works great for our 55 lb, active Samoyed, and we have no worries about him being great contained, while providing him ample room to move abbout.

Materials are of high quality; appears like it's built to last; we shall see.

Love the chew-resistant leader.

Worked with Greg to come up with a plan for getting two 125 foot runs for our dogs set up. The hardware for the permanent run is great quality and should last a really long time.

Measuring the two runs to 125 feet actually leaves quite a bit of extra length once you add in the tree strap, ratchet strap and spring setup. The ratchet is a really great tensioning idea. The one negative is the springs because they don't "lock" on the two springs with the two metal triangles is a little unwiedly when putting it together but once it's all assembled it stays put.

Having just added a 3rd dog to our family, we needed a way to keep the puppy safe but allow him to exercise while camping. The Sky Track Portable Dog Run allowed us to do so with excellent quality and safety. Our 4 month old fox red lab was able to move around securely, allowing us to be able to focus on other things during our recent camping trip. Can't say enough good things about the Sky Track run!!

Best thing ever for camping with my 2-Golden Retrievers!

LOVE our Rover Roamer! We could not afford to fence our yard for our 66 lb shepherd/husky puppy. The Rover Roamer gets her outside quickly and safely for both bathroom breaks and getting the zoomies out, as well as safe playtime with us. She plays well with the neighbour’s dog too, without the risk of chasing local deer and getting lost. Great product, well-designed, well-made system and parts, with clear instructions. Thanks!!!
