| walking 5 Yorkies.... HELP!!! ... how do you do it? I always end up in a braided chaos and all my experiments with couplers and without couplers failed... Would it be best to walk them in shifts? How will I deal with those disappointed looks? HELP! Please! |

| I would love the answer too :-) I have a dog walker one day a week and one day I stopped home for lunch and I was rounding the corner to my townhouse I saw this women from a distance walking 5 very well behaved dogs... and yes they ended up being mine... I dont know how she did it...they each had their own leash... and were walking perfect for her...

| I might ad that we walk 'just for fun' b/c we have a big back yard for all the #1s and #2s... and Mikki, Eve and Gypsy are running around like maniacs but Maggie and Capone are on the laid back side and need the exercise. Besides it's always nice for them to get out for new smells and sights and sometimes we visit 'Nette and her boys... |

| It takes two of us to walk our three! I usually take the two small ones and we just bought a coupler. It's been working pretty good, as long as Camden doesn't want to stop and smell the roses! Wrigley is serious about the walk and she doesn't let Camden rest! lol! My Mother walks Crosley! I don't know how dog walkers walk so many, it's amazing!

| I think it's the pack mentality. My lab walks very well and heels right by my side, no pulling the leash or anything. Bella, not so much, she's all over the place. If we could get them all in my lab's head, it'd work
