I have always used a "Springer". No training involved and no danger of road rash either. I even had a Great Pyrenees on it who lunged after a cat and I mean LUNGED! I would have turfed it and the dog would have been gone had it not been for the springer.
IMO, it is the easy way out. You certainly can train your dog to be safe with the bike with a little effort on your part but I like the fact that if for some reason my dog loses her mind after seeing a squirrel party in the street or a flock of ducks doing the wild thing on someones lawn, she will not be injured and neither will I.
Even a great dog will have an off day now and again...;) More info on Springers
