I've been thinking about this topic for quite awhile. I understand your problem and your frustation and I am not negating any of the points you bring up. They are well taken; however, the one sentence I picked out from your entire post is the one thing that you can work on. Also as a person with more than one dog, I have come to the conclusion that it is often helpful to take them for walks one at a time. This helps me to be able to correct behavior or work on a more comfortable heel with each one. Once I have worked on problem areas, I can go back to taking both of them together.
