What a disaster!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Okay...I was walking the furkids the other day and what a disaster that was.

I do have a stroller for them but they enjoy their walks plus Mimi has to lose a few pounds. Normally hubby walks them with me but he's on deployment now. Anyway I think I found a solution! I ordered a leash for 3 from ebay. The lady is wonderful and it was also fun putting the colors together. I can't wait to get mine and when I do I well let you all know how it works. She also has a website thats almost complete so if you are interested. Its Leash Lady (Powered by CubeCart) and she is also on ebay just not sure what her ebay username is. I would have to look. Hopefully we'll have better walks with this. I was so tangled up and I had one going one direction and another one the other and the only one with leash manners is my rescue Gabby so she pretty much wanted to stay near me.

How cute. Let me know if it works.

That looks really cute, but I'm a little worried. There was a post recently where someone's yorkie was seriously injured using a combined leash like that. let me go find it.

You really do need to be careful. I only use a cloth full harness with the duel leash and I only use it on the dogs that are trained on it. To train you should do a short walk and make sure they are not excited, pulling, or fighting each other. It is also best on dogs around the same size.

Good luck.

WOW! I'm going to try mine out and see how it works. The lady was very informative and suggested what would be best if I have some that like going in different directions. The good thing is that it doesn't tangle, I walk them now with their own leashes and they get tangled up that eventually the leashes end up looking like this one. So I would assume it can also happen with normal leads if your walking multiples by yourself. I'll just keep an eye on them and see how much they pull. If I notice they are pulling eachother hard they will just have to wait until one of my boys can come with me. Also we don't do too many walks as I have a fenced in yard so most of the time they are running around in the yard.

Thanks for the info!

Oh yes after this I will be extremely careful. They do not fight at all they just get so excited and want to go.

I have a double one that I don't use. What happened with me is that Maya would go much faster than Scooter and kept dragging porr Scooter. I never used it again.

PLease be careful with those. It is a risk to use them , A few people have had bad experiences with those. Yorkie's can get injured.

Timmy · 07-10-2008, 11:56 AM

I've been walking mine for the past few days and the leashes tangle up and start to look like this leash. Wouldn't that be bad for them too? I just want to make sure because if so I'm just gonna have to have someone help me walk them.

Bloomingtails · 07-10-2008, 07:02 PM

I too thought couplers would be good, but I have found that it is easier and better to just have two leashes in one hand. I generally walk four at a time that way. Just my two cents.
