Donating YT 10K Club Member | I walk three on individual leashes. Ramsey must walk ahead of the other two...and it also helps a great deal if everyone is walking in the same direction.

| Ramsey says he is the leader of the doggie pack so he must walk ahead of the other two

| i have the pet walker plus. I put 3 on one and 2 on the other one. These have the swivel coupler at the top so they have long leads. The key for us is to keep moving. if we stop or slow down, i end up with a spaghetti bowl. |

| Well I only have one dog, but at my work, sometimes we have to take more than 1 dog out at a time, usually if they're in the same family. I have no problems walking them each on individual leashes if that's the case. |

| I use flexi-leads to walk the boys, and I use a 4 prong cane to walk myself. I have tried a coupler and they tangled and tripped each other. Individual leashes are too short and they tangled all around me.Flexi-leashes were the answer! Baron walks faster and his leash goes over Sammy's head. They both are on my left side.My cane is in my right hand!! My hubby thinks I should join the circus. It works for me...

| I have a Jack Russell and a Yorkie. Poor Cooper wouldn't stand a chance if they were both on the same leash!

| Each of my dogs have their own leash. I would never use one of those fancy double leashes because each of my dogs walk at different paces. While Cinnamon charges ahead- Sandy lags behind. While Lilo walks nicely at my side- Sakura pulls in front of me. I tried a double leash- but, since they walk at different paces, that was nothing but a big nightmare for me. I usually walk two dogs at a time... but, I have walked four dogs at the same time. And, sometimes the leashes get tangled. But, we make it through. LOL Things can get hectic, I admit. But... I like my dogs each having their own leash. It gives them more "freedom". When I tried the double leash thinga-ma-bob they hated it. |

| I have recently tried walking 4 dogs at once. I admit its kinda hard lol. They all walk differently, 3 active ones and 1 laidback one. I use their own leashes and ended up being tangled and tied by them lol and when I finally manage to get them to walk properly in line because they are tired, I couldn't manage to pick-up their poop and I had to bring them all home and go out myself to collect the poops...omg lol. Never again. My max is walking 3 from now on.

| I walk Bobby and Trixie with 2 leashes. Bobby's leash is 6ft long and Trixie's is 5ft long. that way Bobby is usually in front and it keeps us from getting all tangled...Well most of the time |
