Need Parents of 2 Yorkies We walk our two boys on a coupler leash with harnesses. They are about a foot apart when they walk. Different personalities. One is slow, very curious, mild-mannered, and wants to stop every 2 feet to sniff and investigate, and now he marks.
The other one is very very nervous, hates other dogs, is wary of other people, and if he hears a bit noise, that's it, the walk is over. He justs wants to get home.
Through your experience, would it be better to walk them separately? At different times? Would it aid in their development? Would it give them more confidence? Would Mr. Nervous be calmer?
I'm concerned about separation anxiety, as they have never been apart.
Please give me your thoughts.
Thanks. |
