    I walk mine together.
    When I adopted Buddy he had already been leash trained and is a perfect Angel on a leash. Stays RIGHT by my left side and doesn't walk in front of me or even move without checking with me first. He'll look up at me and I'll tell him "Go Ahead" and he'll sniff and pee on everything.
    Sierra on the other hand, Ugh... she's a handful! She pulls, she stops and stiffs everything, etc. But with Bud being so good, it's almost like I'm only walking one dog! Sometimes I even tuck Bud's leash in my pocket and don't even hold on to him he's so good. Plus this way I have an extra hand to try to control Sierra.

    I walk Kia and Chipper at the same time. We use a dual leash. It took Kia some time to get used to it since she was used to having 6 feet of leash and now she has about 4 feet.

    Well...I walk them in groups. Shadow usually always goes alone beause she can't go as far. Sometimes I'll walk Micki, Mini and Jack together, or Shadow and Kyra, or Micki and Jack, or Mini and Kyra...I used to get into a routine and walk the boys in the morning and the girls at night. Sometimes I walk Jack, Mini, Micki and Kyra together and if I'm feeling good that day, and its either later at night or early in the morning, I'll walk all five. They have a method, Shadow heels on my left side the furthest away from me, Jack next to her and Micki closest to my leg. The girls aren't that obedient and Kyra's uaually out and front and Mini slightly behind me on the right side. But my mom likes to go for walks too so we usually go together so we can take them all. You don't want to be around my house when you only take a few dogs out for a walk. Even Shadow howls, it's pathetic.

    Well I don't take the dogs for walks normally, but if I do they walk together. Just recently, I started walking them seperatly to get ready for our rally-o trial coming up.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
