| I walk one with one hand and the other with the other. Kirby is 15 pounds vs Khloe's three pounds. I did find that the retractable leash works better for both of them together. I still have problems because Kirby wants to go inside and Khloe loves outdoors. |

| I am not a fan of retractables. They give you no control. The yorkie should be in a harness only and the 15 lb should be possibly on a chain choker so you can control the walk. They have chain choker with nylon combined. If you are ready to get lessons in heeling email me at Top Knot Dog Training | Home and we will talk. I give obedience lessons and then we can go from there. Looking forward to hearing from you. Joan |

The chain with nylon (martingale/limited slip collar) would be a better choice- IMO- The dog could not choke itself. No pull harnesses are also effective for some. The owner needs to make the tool work- Not the other way around. I can walk the Yorkies and Golden together with little or no trouble.

| What kind of dog is the one that is 25 lbs? I did not know the exact weight. The martingale slip would be better. Your dog should be given obedience lessons in heeling. That would make a big difference in the walking problem. Good luck. |
