“Lights on your dog!” that’s what a cyclist screamed at me as he passed me on the W&OD in Arlington yesterday at about 6:30 AM. I was running, as I often do, with my dog before cycling in to work. I always run with a LED head light on and usually will point it in the direction of the dog when I hear a cyclist come up from behind to make sure they see I am not alone. He is always on a short leash and is very good at running at my heels. It never occured to me that a cyclist would think I needed additional dog specific illumination.
I have tried some of the products out there for dogs and none of them have been very successful – flashing leashes with those expensive disc batteries that last about a week, same with all the flashing collars I have tried.
Does anyone have any recommendations for what might work?

We met the guy who makes these products at Interbike – real nice guy who’s just interested in visibility. No flashing lights – just reflective stuff, so not ridiculously expensive.
