Which is the best dual dog leash?

Germanshepherdlova · 12-22-2011, 01:41 AM

I bought a dual dog leash at PetSmart a few months ago and I am not happy with it. The dogs are forced to walk very close together because of the way the leash is designed. If one of them poops on the walk the other can't move or he will step on the poop. Not a good leash at all for taking a pleasure walk (walk when dogs are allowed to smell and pee on the fire hydrants and telephone poles) So double leash users-do you have one that you love? Please tell me what brand/where you got it-and pictures of your dogs on the leash would be great.

I just use two leashes.

I never liked coupling for various reasons and use two leashes.

Two leashes, much safer and better for the dogs.

Anybody use a dual leash? I prefer the dual but am hoping that there is a better one than the one I am using.

I use either 2 leashes very short dual connector that keeps both dogs shoulder to shoulder. If I am out doing a hard walk for me then that's the lead but if it's a laid back enjoy the scenery and socialize then 2 separate leashes.

I use a coupler as well. I use that on times that are "more business" for example we are going somewhere and need them both tired before we leave. It allows them to walk shoulder to shoulder and it is adjustable so you can adjust how much space they have. I used it a lot more when Sherman was younger and learning to leash walk. Now that he is older (calmer) one of my kids usually walks with us so we use two leashes.

I am looking for an adjustable feature. What brand is yours?

I don't see a brand on it anywhere. Not sure if I bought it at Petco or Petsmart. Probably Petco since it is closer to our house. It is very thick and sturdy. It is strong nylon with leather on the inside of the handle for comfort. It was much heavier than most which is why I liked it. Our boys are big, so I wanted to make sure it could handle them. Wish I could remember the brand. I will look and see if I can find a link.

Petmate Take Two Adjustable Leash in Black at PETCO

It looks like this one. Only it is rated for large dogs. Hope that helps a little
