After chasing Ruby all over the local park for days now (such a naughty girl) I have decided she needs to be on lead just like her brother Oscar (also a naughty dog - well, as far as recall goes). So I hatched a plan that might work and not pull my arms completely out of their sockets!!!
Two collars, one coupling chain and one extender lead. As you can see from below it was a rousing success (if you don't count the few incidents where Oscar and Ruby looked like a Push me-Pull me). I haven't given up altogether on off-lead play but I'm giving my stress levels a time to lower!!!
walking two beagles, i can only imagine! happy sniffing (:
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good solution!

Good plan! Looks like you can still have lots of fun in the park.

We know the problems of hounds and recall - ok as long as there isn't an interesting scent in the air.
ReplyDeleteI remember those days when Martha would never let me out of her sight - now she is just like Bailey - off in pursuit of goodness knows what.
Well it is progress but you do get very tired!
I looked at those coupling chains but not sure cos Martha is so much bigger than Bailey.
Bailey can be a grumpy thing sometimes and I thought she might object to being dragged by Martha.
It seems to be working quite well with Oscar and Ruby in those pics.
Let us know how it goes!

Our mom uses a double leash like that for us. Works great because we help keep each other in line but hang on tight if your pups see a rabbit!!
