| Does anyone use a 2 way leash? I have 2 furbabys and the only way I can walk them together is if someone else goes with me, im looking into getting a 2 way leash but i was wondering it they still get tangled? |

| No it doesn't get tangled. Its almost shaped like a wishbone - well I really can't explain it too well - but it works great for me. Well............ at least most of the times when they chose to walk at the same pace.

| I don't personally like them but it works for some dogs. I often walk 2 dogs (one big dog, one little) at a time... 2 little ones aren't really too difficult. Training them to walk on a leash separately first will help. I don't like the couplers because when one dog heads in one direction (say, to mark a tree...) the other gets pulled along! I just prefer 2 separate leashes.

| I have a coupler- but I prefer to use two separate leashes. I can hold two leashes with one hand- or if someone is misbehaving I can use two separate hands and pull someone closer for extra supervision and "guidance"

| I have a coupler on a swivel so they don't get tangled up. They do jerk on each other some, but since both dogs are about the same size it's not too much of a problem. It's not practical for long walks until/unless the puppy learns to walk on a loose leash. |

| I occasionally use a coupler and it works fine for two dogs of the same size...yeah, sometimes one will hop over the other but it works out...of course I don't go for long walks, but I did notice when I walk further they get more in sync.
