One day I’ll be able to walk my two 30kg dogs at the same time

Today is probably not that day. Individually they are great on the lead and so well behaved. If I try to walk them together they go completely nuts and forget all their manners and together they are hard for me to wrangle. I always feel guilty leaving one of them behind though.

We have a harness for our big dog, if he tries to run after a squirrel, a cat, or another dog he will immediately be turned sideways and his plans thwarted. The lead attaches to the front near his chest and the harder he pulls the more it turns him. Maybe that would help?

@JamesBugman Yep I’ve one of those too. Works so well.

@Notladylike The other way would be to drive your doggies to an offleash dog park. Then you only need to walk a short distance with them. We have friends that do this. Offleash is way more fun for a dog anyway.

@JamesBugman I don’t take them to off leash dog parks. It’s not a great environment for training them and I don’t trust other people’s dogs. I do take them to the beach where they get to run and swim.
