I'm not sure that the speed I travel with mine, could be called walking !

Actually, it's more of a Jog or very fast walk. My Male Sneakers is in
the lead, with My Female Becca being able (right now at 10 mo) usually
lasting nearly the whole route. I have a verbal command, which permits
them to take the lead when when we do this. I think that command is
specially useful, when there is heavier brush where "something" might be
hiding.

I try to maintain the same Route each time...
Reason for this is, that "should" either of my two get loose, and out of
the yard, that habitual route is the most likely place for them to go.
Therefore making a recovery, possibly a lot quicker.
