Default Walking with a coupler??

I had the bright idea today to go to Petco, buy a coupler & take the girls on a walk in the wooded park across the street. I had no idea it would end up being such an ordeal! I walked as slow as possible, but Amelia is so hyper, she kept pulling & dragging Rosie behind her. Rosie's little legs kept going stiff and she was quite literally being dragged. As soon as that happened, I'd stop & make Amelia sit. As soon as we'd start walking again, the same thing would happen all over again. I kept thinking they'd "get it" but finally gave up about 10 minutes into the walk as I was worried Rosie was getting hurt (or scarred!).

I really want to get Rosie out walking every day as she's a bit pudgy from indoor life, but I don't want to do it at the risk of her getting hurt. Does anyone have any suggestions for walking with the coupler? Or should I just try to walk them on seperate leashes entirely?
