A question for those with more than one dog

[DrKym]

I walk the three together, the Dobies get tired of Goof getting corrected and they herd her into the middle so that they can step on her if she starts pulling. I think they picked that up from the fact that more than once they got an accidental correction while I was trying to get the Diva to pay attention(attention span of a gnat ya know )

It usually isn't a problem, unless the ice cream truck is around..............

[Pawsitive Thinking]

I walk my two together. They both have retractable leads which I hold in my right hand leaving the my left hand free for important jobs like poop scooping and hauling them back when they spot a c-a-t before I do

LOL, ALL TOGETHER AND IT'S MADNESS!

I walk all 4 together, but I always take another person. I have one splitter for Harley and Morty who do well together and I give that leash to the other person. I take Sylvia and Jimmy on separate leashes. They are both escape artists and I know how to handle them. Jimmy doesn't understand the leash I think because he never had one when he was on the streets. He zigzags the whole way. Poor Syl is not as fast as the boys and when she was on the splitter she just got dragged, so she needs her own leash.

We have to take all four because if I took them one or two at a time the ones left home would cry and scream the WHOLE time. I've tried it, they get too upset.

Last night my mom and I took them for a walk, but for about a block and a half I took all four, it really wasn't bad, but the non-splitter couple got tangled with the splitter couple.

... for about a block and a half I took all four, it really wasn't bad,
but the non-splitter couple got tangled with the splitter couple.

We told some Tails about the FurKids, their frequent house guests, and our
"experiences" with our many Y-Thingies and Couplers ...

Cinder & Smokey learned how to manage their Y-Thingie pretty early in the game -
after experimenting with passing on opposite sides of trees, posts, and fire hydrants ...
they've learned to "take turns" as "lead dawg"; and #2 usually abides with #1's choice
of the passing side for fixed objects. We're still "working on" Dad's legs!

Along came Bowser, and even though he was severely challenged to keep up
owing to his somewhat "abbreviated" legs ... he gave the Big Guys a good run for their money.
Sadly, his Degenerative Myelopathy has worsened to where he has difficulty keeping up with C&S;
so he now "skips along" on his own leash, while C&S romp along on a Y-Thingie and often drag the common leash. It does get "interesting" when I have to hold
both the pair and the Bowz ... we can "braid" a nice trio of leashes!

The real PHUNN has been with our "guest dogs" ... anything from a MinPin (Heidi) to
neighbor Cali and her "brother" Zig, a generously-sized Labby mix; to huge
Foster Mutt Blackie/Hobo.
We have managed to walk ?? through the Big Lake Parks with FIVE in tow at a time!

[Husky_mom]

we don´t go on walks.........



it´s like we are in a marathon!!! LOL

I used to always "walk" my huskies together and have the same issue of tangling leashes and switching sides constantly...... now I "walk" one by one......wonder why??

one time I got tangled in the leashes and the cute puppies of mine decided to take a sprint.....with me still tangled!!......

And your point was ... ??

"Still Tangled" ... but were you (more or less) still UPright?

"Tangled" is a way of life - we can manage that with ONE Dawg!
"Tangled but Still Moving" shows some skill ...

aww, thank you Phred!!..... you just made me smile.......LOL

[luvofallhorses]

I walk them seperately because I have 3 big dogs and a small dog.
I probably could walk Rocky & Ginger together, though.

[Jadapit]

I walk all three of mine together. Diamond and Ebony to my right, Jada to my left. I've had so many people stop and tell me what a good work out that must be. One guy told me I needed a sled. Lol.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

If Eric comes along, I take the corgis and he takes Adele. If I'm by myself, I take the corgis together then Adele separately. Del's a big puller so if she's with the other 2, they all go really fast and it's way too much for me to handle. Del walks slower when I walk her alone.

Right, the only reason walking my pack works is because they are all between 19-24lbs . So weird since we didn't plan it that way

[M&M's Mommy]

I walk Mocha & Muffin together. Missy doesn't get walked. She got all her excercise chasing balls & playing fetch, plus she doesn't like other dogs (she would bark her head out when she sees other dogs)

[lizbud]

I am able to walk two dogs at the same time, but I don't walk MY two
at the same time. Their personalities are so different that I walk them
differently.

[Kfamr]

I walk 2 at a time. Sometimes 1 at a time if I feel like 4 walks.

I've walked 3 at a time and did fine, I just feel safer only doing two.

[Danegirl2208]

I walk both at the same time....they walk very nicely on lead, so there are no issues.
