| Anyone use a coupler on their leash? Do you like it or not? Does it hinder the dogs from going in their own direction? Do your babies like it or not?

| I just bought one but my new baby boy won't walk at all outside - aaagghhh! His sister dragged him for a bit and then looked at me like 'unhook this weight'! I did use it on their carseat harness and it worked perfectly. We'll work on the walking together this Spring

| I use one and it's great! The boys do very well with it. They get a rhythm going so they aren't jerking each other around. Once they get used to it, they realize they have to wait if the other one is sniffing something. Overall, it's much better than trying to keep 2 leashes straight. Thumbs up!!!!

| Hey everyone, I bet Cindy (chattiesmom) might be able to make couplers to match her harnesses. |

| Where do you get small couplers? Our local pet stores only carry the heavy ones for the large breeds. I've never ordered any pet items on line so I don't know of any good websites.

| I bought one at Petsmart. It hangs with all the little collars. I really had to look for it. Then I made myself two of them and gave one away to a friend. My dogs walk well with it.

| I couldn't find them at Petco until I mentioned it to the manager and they had them in the 'small dog' section.

| My dogs didn't do well with it at all. Prince outweighs Angel by about two pounds. He is my social dog - thinks everyone was put on this earth to pet him. Well, he loves people but he's not real fond of other dogs. Angel is much more reserved than Prince (at least out in publice). She tends to walk behind me and has a really bad habit of just stopping and laying down especially if something scares her. I've always thought that was strange - shouldn't she try to run away if she's scared? Anyhow, we spent the entire walk with Prince trying to go one way and poor Angel getting jerked around behind him. I'll try again once the weather gets better. I would love to be able to use it, especially when we go to places like PetsMart. |

| I have one.. sometimes one will get pulled more than the other.. but it's great because once the walk gets going they fall right into it staying side by side and not running all over. So it's about 10 minutes of jerking and pulling, but then the rest of the walk is awesome! |
