How do you walk 2 or more dogs?

[Kfamr]

I walk Nala and Kiara on the 2 dog coupler. Simba on a seperate leash. They're all pretty good on walks, Simba only goes on a seperate leash because he lifts his leg and I don't think I prefer pee on the girls.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

For potty time and exercise we usually just go out into the yard. We play fetch with them and because they are little that usually is enough to tire them out. On walks we usually only take Nacey and Nova, sometimes Charlie. Bitsy and Buster don't particularly care for going on walks down the road, they get often get scared and we end up carrying them. When we take Nacey and Nova I will take one and Justin the other. If we take Charlie too then one of us walk Nova and Charlie on two separate leashes and the other will walk Nacey.

If we were to take all 5 together it would be one person with Bitsy, Buster, and Charlie (I've done that before and they walk well together) and the other person would walk Nacey and Nova.

I just walk Chico with one hand and Guapo with the other...they do great together.

[Cincy'sMom]

When I walk our three, I don't make them heel. No, they are not aloud to pull on my arm, or drag me (and the three together can!), but they can wander alittle and enjoy the smells.

If depends on my mood, as to how I handle leashes. Sometimes they are all one their own. Other times I use a Y to connect to and leave the third on their own leash. Or I have a Y that connect to 3 collars, and can put them all on one leash.

Sometimes I will take all 5 if it is early in the morning or later when there are less people and dogs out. If I do take all of them Micki is on the left, closest to me, and Shadow heals next to him. Jack is "by me" which is my command for heeling on the right side. Mini will usually walk behind or sometimes next to Micki and Kyra is farthest away from me on my right side or she will go out in front. The only problem with taking all of them is after it has snowed and people just run the snowblower once down the sidewalk and the path isn't wide enough for us all to walk!

Usually I will take them in groups, it depends on where I'm going and who wants to go really. If there is a destination, like the park, Jack, Mini and Kyra will usually go. If I plan on going for a long walk I will take Jack, Micki and Mini. Shadow is getting older and doesn't like to walk as far and she really likes just spending time with me so I often just take her alone. I try to at least twice a week take only one at a time but for daily walks I usually take at least 3.

Not very well, I'm afraid. I walk them separately, one at a
time. Smokey & maggie have such different personalities that
it's a lot better for them (and me) to walk just one at time.

[2crazypuppies4me]

I walk both of mine together. HOWEVER, I do end up doing a little dance for all the neihbors at times. To many time I care to remember YOU know the dance; put you left foot up and you left foot down, (come on sing it with me) put your right foot up and shake your leash out of your sneaker and put it down and twist all about....
you know the one don't you?

I haven't seen myself on AFV yet, so I think I'm ok for now. LOL

[tikeyas_mom]

well it is hard with a siberianhusky, a shih tzu, and a great dane... yea...
but i manage somehow..

Tikeya and Baby are really good at healing at my side.. they willpretty well walk beside me.. Baby on the left, and Tikeya on the Right. Oscar is a lil Shih though, and he usually runs ahead pulling the lead...

it takes time to teach them to walk acordingly...

[dukedogsmom]

Very carfully I've never had to do that so I really don't know. What about those dog walkers in the big cities? They do like six dogs at a time. I sure don't know how that do that.

[binka_nugget]

I walk mine one at a time. They both have issues to work on (Kaedyn's lunging and Kai's fears) so I find it best to focus on just one during a walk.

[king2005]

I've walked 2 dogs at once. Didn't have any problems. I was training a neighbours dog with my dog. The neighbours dog loved my dog, so she did everythig my dog did & tried to do it better. it was great walking them.

However I was yelled at wheni got home. What if they went nuts & pulled.. I was like &?? My dog is very well trained & doesn't chase anything. The dog in training only weighed 50 pounds if that, so if she freaked out I could just pick her up.. Like I did when she was nearlly attacked by 2 loose GSD's.

I've trained 200p Rotties to heel. I think I can manage a 50p sweet non pulling short haired Collie type mutt

When I walked my own dog, I didn't walk him. he walked himself.. I made a mini leash. it was about 6 inches long & he would pick it up in his mouth & walk ahead of me.

[K9karen]

carefully?

[Bigyummydog]

I've trained 200p Rotties to heel.

What are the chances you would talk to MAXIMUS?

He thinks the leash is for pulling. Sometimes he seems to be on some urgent mission. But, it's funny, if I let go of the leash, he stops. That's why he gets to go so many places for him to run free. We do have his "walk" collar in his drawer.

As for two, are you kidding?

[Lexi_Lover]

I used to occasionally walk Lexi and Kaeko together when we lived nearby, and I walked them at the same time. Kaeko pulls and barks at things going on..., while Lexi is more layed back and walks quietly beside me, focusing on ebing good and getting treats when she sits when a car comes by. Its that good until another dog comes, but thats ok, because shes getting better! Kaeko, is SO friendly, but he has a HUGE bark,a nd it scares people, so they tighten their dog's leashes, all the better for Lexi, but he wants to play sooooo badly!

[GoldenRetrLuver]

My two don't really pull on the leash when I take them out for walks. Molly usually heels at my side and Daisy goes a little ahead of us to smell and explore and all that. Sometimes I'll take them for walks one at a time if I want to work with them individually.
