Anyone use a coupler on their leash? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkieaddict · 03-06-2007, 03:06 PM

I use a two coupler and it seems to stop them from pulling so much on the leash. It is hard to find one that is not too heavy. I got it at Petco but I think it is still a little heavy. I also got one at Petedge and that one is way too big. I am going to try and make my own three coupler to walk all three together. Will post a picture when I get done.

I got mine from Cindy (Chattiesmom) and everything matches-they look great. They love it and so do I. They walk well together and have their own system. He always walks on the outside and she always walks on the inside. They are so funny to watch. When things get mixed up, you can see them working to get back to "their" position.

Jen & Jolie does quite well with a coupler I'm hoping it's temporary! there is only like a 18" space between the two and if one goes one way the other one get's yanked untill she follows.

I have a great leash if your kids are trained to not walk around behind you and get you tangled up in the leash. I love this leash but can't use it until Jen and Jolie learns the "Art of Walking".

Wanna see it? - I got it from JB Pet and it's called a pet walker plus. Theres two leashes that clips onto the "handle" with swivel hooks so they don't get tangled.

oh now I really like that. I have saved the link. I might get that instead of the coupler. I like how it gives them their own space. Chachi walks faster than Jewels

I like this one also, I have it and my girls have a little freedom to go in their own direction. Desi weighs more than Millie and she always ends up dragging Millie, with this lease it doesn't happen.

I had one and used it for a while. I didn't like it because my female pulls on the harness and jerks my male around. My male walks nicely on the harness, and my female goes banannas. So, I walk them on separate leashes. It's kind of a pain, but my male appreciates it.

Jack and Jilly walk great on the double coupler. They are both close in weight and so small that I don't have a problem. Their separation is about 14". It is 3/8" wide, nice and thin. Now that we added Kenzi, Chattiesmom made me a triple coupler. The weather has been nasty cold so I haven't had a chance to use it yet. So the jury is still out on a triple walk.

I will be glad to help you out. I have made several and "played" around with the design. I have finally decided on "adjustable" links so that you can lengthen or shorten each side as needed.

I have a coupler for Lacy and Cosmo's leashes and we get along fine with it. We've used it for a long time and it did take a few times to get used to it. It's much better than two leashes and it swivels so the leashes don't get tangled up. The dogs can only go in their own direction to the end of the leash, just like when walking on a single leash, of course. If one dog lunges and pulls on the leash, it will make the other dog uncomfortable. Lacy and Cosmo love to go walking and they are happy on the coupler. Neither of them pulls the other around and we have a great time walking together. Lacy and Cosmo always wear harnesses for walking.

She made one for me that match my girls harnesses and it is perfect. I highly recommend her

I just bought one of these to walk Lex and Lulu and it is hard to use. They both tend to want to walk in a different area from each other. Then at times when Lex starts pulling he drags Lulu around. Maybe when she is fully grown and can do some pulling of her own it will be ok...

I just go mine this morning at Wal-Mart... used it... and I LOVE it!! No more pulling!!!!!!
