    duke was totally the best dog on leash, as close to perfect as you can imagine, a beautiful heel, check with me before he'd lift leg to mark, someone (not me) trained him well. alex is so-so, he will heel okay, but when we're on the sniffy walk, i.e. the after i've been cooped up alllll day i gotta explore the big world sniff everything, he can be a bit of a pill. princess peanut is a challange, switch sides, stop suddenly, you name it, she'll do it. i know no one ever took her for a walk on a leash before i did. she loved the idea the first time, but was horrified to discove a gentle leader actually works and when i say stop, i mean it. if i need a walk to clear my head or meditate over some idea, alex is the one to go with me, he'd walk to south america if i asked him, just please a few stops to check pee mail please. .
    and phred, thanks for the laugh
    joyce who has princess peanut, spokesdog for the catpack, mojo, magic, kira and squirty, members of the catpack, angel duke, a good dog who is missed and angel alex the wonder dog, handsome prince.

    Need I say more? Actually if one of us is walking them, one has 3 and the other two. If I walk them by myself then I take 3 and then 2. This was Carl when I was picking up after one of them!

    I walk them at the same time, on two leashes. They have it pretty well worked out, although we often end up with one rather "braided" leash, but they don't seem to notice. with moving to the city, I will take them once a day together, and then just Sherman for two reasons: 1) He could use some extra walking to drop a couple pounds, and 2) We need to practice his leash manners. Car to parking lot hasn't given him much experience, and he's about to become a city dog.

    I would look like 4 dog Mother, all of them together and whatever dog/s I happen to be babysitting. Mine aren't all the same size though so it's a bit harder.But they are all turned loose in the bush when we get there.I have the neatest homemade contraption to keep them together, not great to look at, but works great.

    I normally walk them one by one. Beanie doesn't go for many walks as he runs around the yard and gets his runnin time in. Gracie goes for a couple of walks a day. Last year when I had my rescue Sibe Kodie I walked both him and Gracie at the same time. They loved walking together.

    I normally just put them all in the van and drive them out in the desert and let them run wild.

    If I do decide to go for a walk around the neighborhood, I just take one dog at a time.

    I cannot walk Tikeya, Eb, and Daisy together.. Daisy and Eb pull. and Tikeya will pull if she sees another dog pulling (=she always wants to be in front)... When I walk my dogs one-by-one they heal and act alot more sain.

    I walk Duke and Champ together on seperate leashes. I bought the dual thing and gave it a try(several tries) but it is hard when one is a boy and one is a girl, he thinks he needs to mark everything taller than a blade of grass and she is trying to drag him along by the neck Oh and a couple times he lifted the leg on her side yep...she got wet
