Hi
I hope you are well

Yes i have seen a trailer with removable floor couple years ago somewhere on the web. Cant retrace it. the floor was folding on the side and the side where in plexiglass or something for the dog to look on the side a bit.

Anyway most trailers are made to carry the dog only. I need to be able to have him walk run inside the trailor too or inside a protected area

What trailer exists that can do that?

ps english not my native language . thanks

For years my dog used a Schwinn Daytripper cargo trailer to run errands around town. When he had energy he ran next to me. When he got tired he rode in the trailer. A nice feature was it was offset a little so it didn't stick out into the road.

this is a better solution. while having the dog run next to you and keeping it leashed in some way has its own difficulties and safety risks, they're something you can manage with care and training. unlike having your dog flintstone it inside the trailer.

HI the trailer I had seen was open at the back so there was not chance of hurting the back of the dog s leg if for example he was not going forward.

A parte from sometimes being pulled forward , juste the same as if walking him how can a open rectangle be dangerous.
The flintstone has something behind so the example do not fit. the trailer had a front and 2 sides.

People that ride their bike with their dog attached, make much more rapide side movement and or turning than a trailer would.

I was being facetious. All a camera will do is have you looking down at best and watching your doggo get dragged before you panic brake and he/she then slams into the front of the trailer, more likely.

This is a terrible idea. The camera doesn't make it any better. Literally solves 0% of the safety issues.

Get a leash belt, a breakaway rope, and a regular trailer for when puppers gets pooped.

There have been a lot of stupid things said on this site (eg. drinking brake fluid) and this is near the top of the list. Why in tarnation would you put your dog inside of a trailer and make him run on the ground? He's 100% guaranteed to get injured or killed. I wish this was a @Picard thread to laugh at, but it's not... The fact that OP is serious is really kind of disturbing.
