| The double leash I am not sure what the name for them is. The leash that you can walk both of your babies on. I was wondering, how much training it took for you who use these take? Is it better to use this with two small dogs or two separate leashes? We are getting a new baby in a couple weeks and I am trying to prepare. |

| I use both. But, using two leases work better for us. Sydney will walk all day and Emmie will only walk about 5 minutes. If both dogs will walk about the same it is great. It only took a couple times and they did great with it. Emmie just doesn't want to walk period. Husband says that she is spoiled.

| I would use two separate leashes. I tried the coupler thing and it didn't work well for us, as Izzy is twice Luna's size, and Luna walks for about a block, then she wants to be carried If the babies are very different in size, the smaller one can also be hurt by being pulled around by the bigger dog.

| I have one and hate it! It's good if your dogs walk at the same pace but mine don't and if they are interested in the same things to sniff, but mine aren't. However, I have seen others use them and the dogs seem to be fine. It just isn't for me. Good luck

| I think it' called the leash coupler. I don't have one but have been thinking about it. I ordered buddy belts for my puppies (supposed to be delivered today) and am not sure of to use the doubler or two leashes. Thank you for posting this - will follow it for more info

| Both babies will be about the same size. Lola loves walks and she could walk for days. We will have to see how the new baby likes walking before we get one then I guess! |

| We have a triple leash that we walk all three on. It was bought in Vegas. Here is their store. Look at the doubles and triples leashes. They are so well made that we always have people asking where I got them. I got the triple in black so it would go with everything, plus not show the dirt so easily. http://www.fleabagsonline.com/
