Do dog backpacks actually work

I’m thinking of getting my dog a backpack, I’ve heard they’re good for wearing out high energy dogs
I’ve also heard they can be difficult to balance
Does anyone own one? do they actually work?
He’s a wheaten terrier/ poodle mix
Ok i have a lab mix and shes breed With mostly high energy breeds…I got her a backpack a few months ago and she loves it…she walks better and is the first to lay down when we are done walking…I think it would work but you would have to train the dog to the backpack properly…also try a gentle leader my lab was the dog who would run if you didn’t get her on a chain in time now shes the dog walking the neighborhood With no leash.
They can wear out high energy dogs if you go on a hike or a jog with them while they wear it, Im not sure about balence problems, as long as they get used to it and its not too heavy Im sure it would be worth a try

My concern would be causing injury to their back. Dogs are not meant to have things straddled over them.

Depends on the dog breed it can help tire a dog out but if it’s a greyhound or another dog like that that was not bred to carry any kind of load it would be a bad idea. But if it’s a Bernese Mountain Dog or something like that that was bred for that kind of work you should be just fine.

yea its fine, my dogs wear one,just put a couple bottles of water on each side.its not difficult to balance make sure each side has the same amount of weight, then take them for a good 30 minute to an hour walk it’ll tire them out and its great exercise.
