Just came across your video, we loved seeing the G-Train in action, and thanks for the great review! We are so stoked that Mabel enjoyed the ride.

[@SightseeingSally]

Thank you for checking out our video! You’re very welcome :) We think your G-Train backpack is awesome - very well built, looks great, and Mabel is super comfy in it. Because of it, we’ve been able to enjoy a number of fun adventures this summer. We’d love to purchase and review more of your products. If there’s any you could recommend that you think would be good for us to check out, please let us know.

This makes me wish my dogs were smaller ! 😃. Mable seemed happy to just ride along.

[@user-yq1sn5mi6v]

Thank you for making this video (SUPER HELPFUL)! I can't wait to get mine on Monday 😍. Hopefully my little girl luvs it 🤞

[@SightseeingSally]

Awesome, thank you 🙏 It might take a little time but I bet she will. Mabel was scared at first. Now she loves it.

[@susan5301]

That backpack is so cute and it looks like Mabel enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing and hope your feeling better!

[@bonniekaye]

You fooled me! I thought that was a heavy package!! 👍 Lady, you are so beautiful! 🙂👍♥️

[@dunnwurkin]

Cool backpack. Love the turtle! Good video, thanks!

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Hahaha, I get CHEWY boxes all the time, and they have cat food, cat litter, dog food....OMG, when I saw you hefting that box, I thought, oh man, I hope her doctor isn't watching this.....hahaha Great little pack for Mable..... :) Boy, that was one big snapper! I think Mable loved her new 'ride'....Take care! 🌼🌼🌼

[@moonwalkmagic1]

Great and informative video. Thanks. I was debating between this and the K9 backpack and I think after watching your video I am getting this one.

[@SightseeingSally]

Thank you. I looked at the K9 backpack, too. I’m really happy I bought the Kurgo.

[@farthead1231]

that backpack is the cats pajamas or should I say dogs pajamas......lol.... Mable seems pretty stoked about it.... glad to see you on the mend... that snapping turtle is huge... reminds of the family farm we always had a gopher turtle who would always return every year and find its hole in our yard.... it would drive the dogs and cats crazy watching this turtle walking across the yard... the cats would even hop on its back for a free ride... good times... dang, that IV PIC line really did a number on your arm... hope everything is well with you and marty and the furbabies...be safe !!!

[@BlindViews]

Nice backpack. That prehistoric turtle was huge. lol

[@666Valo777]

Just ordered mine for my new puppy. A blue Merle miniature American shepherd. I’m hoping he will still fit when grown. I have a long two month wait until I get him but I’m so excited I’m already buying things! Lol thank you for the video

[@SightseeingSally]

How exciting! I hope it still fits him, too. You're welcome 😊 thanks for watching & taking time to say hi!

[@johnganshow5536]

Funny dogs, and very interesting seeing that snapping turtle, never saw one out of the water like that...

[@WhiteStarShelties]

Glad Mabel likes it but my dog would never allow me to put her in one of those.

[@BladesDark]

Sheesh I'm tryna sight see with Sally 😂💐

[@MandyMakesThat]

I have a different pack that does't have the lumbar strap, so I find it uncomfortable for my pug. How long was your walk with Mabel and did you find it hurt your traps at all?

[@SightseeingSally]

I regularly take Mabel in the Kurgo backpack on hikes lasting over an hour. I haven’t had an issue with pain in my traps.

[@terrystubbsjnr]

Very informative!

[@katcankan7129]

Pleased that you dog enjoyed her new ride 😃🐶

[@SightseeingSally]

Thank you, Kat :) Mabel loves it! She just sits back and watches everything from her perch.

Be careful! I’m worried about all that weight where you had your surgery! Nice backpack though.❤️😃😍😎🐶

[@allencrabbe8543]

Hi there Sightseeing Sally and Marty!!! Hope you are recovering Sally. I got my surgery on my left elbow and wrist on Monday. So, now I am in recovery too! Might be slower than normal on commenting to you!!!😃 Love, your friend out here in KZbin land, Allen (AKA The Lone Wolf of Indiana)🐺🌵🇺🇸💖

Hi Allen, Thank you :) Hope your elbow and wrist are healing!

@@SightseeingSally Hi there Marty and Sally!!! Hope all is well and fine up in Wisconsin!!! 😃 Won't get the temporary cast off till Tuesday May 28th. (It was put on so as to not move my arm too much, and to keep the sutures as clean as possible. Although it makes showering, - A challenge!!!😂lol) Thanks for asking. 😃Your friend out here in KZbin land, Allen (AKA The Lone Wolf of Indiana)🐺🌵🇺🇸💖

[@barbaramahoney2468]

That looks real nice, my cat would like the box lol.

[@williamwurthmann1573]

That was good...You are funny.

[@blatevola01]

As much snow as Wisconsin gets, I was surprised you have turtles in your area. There are no turtles here in northern Maine, though the southern part of the state does have some turtles.

[@ClaireRichardsRN]

Ours has two stabilizing rods and I can only find the two at the bottom but not the top. Did you see this?

[@ClaireRichardsRN]

Nevermind, I figured it out. LOL. They were hard to find!

[@NepsysHypertunia]

Maybe one day I'll get to use it.

[@SightseeingSally]

Curious, what don’t you like about the backpack?

[@kayleighjoel1944]

Hey we just ordered this. Ours came woth two black poles. Where do these go??????

[@SightseeingSally]

Mine didn’t so I don’t know ???

[@solo05296852]

I think that compartment that your puzzled by is to

[@douglasroehling]

Hi dose your dog sits down in the pack thanks thinking about getting one for my French bulldog

[@SightseeingSally]

Yes, she does. She sometimes lays down but mostly she likes to sit with her head out and one paw hanging out.

[@Jknasse2]

Do you think the harness is secure enough for a 14 lb mini schnoodle (size of mini schnauzer for bicycle or short motorcycle rides (1-3 miles)

[@Jknasse2]

Also I live in Texas - the weather is pretty hot in the summer how well ventalated is it? I am looking at the k9 sports sack as well but I like the new g-train black v2 and considering purchasing. Same as the red one but worried about motorcycle rides and ventalation

[@SightseeingSally]

Yes, I do as long as your mini schnoodle wears a harness and you secure it to the lanyard inside. The lanyard is placed such that it won’t allow a dog to climb out of the backpack. Also, before you take your schnoodle out for a ride, I’d do a couple of test walks around the neighborhood with him/her. That way your dog will get acclimated to the backpack first (especially if he/she hasn’t been carried like that before.) As for ventilation, there are side vents and the opening where the dog can stick his/her head out. The side vents work as long as you’re not carrying water bottles in the side pockets, otherwise the vents are blocked. I got to test the ventilation yesterday as it was 90 degrees here. I took Mabel out for a 15 minute walk and she seemed just fine. Me, not so much. I thought it was too hot lol. One other thought, lighter colors are better in summer. Darker colors will absorb more heat. Good luck and hope this helped.
