Walking Multiple Dogs:
To properly walk dogs, start by leash training each dog to ensure behavior. Leash manners are essential. Treats are important on multi-dog walks. Practice is the best way to get better at walking multiple dogs.
Precautions and Planning:
To prevent unpleasant experiences, explain how to walk several dogs at once. Get everything ready before leaving. Use an extension strap, at least 1.5 meters long. Stop walking if a dog pulls; continue once it stops pulling. Introduce dogs to each other. As a pack, dogs will develop relationships.
Managing and Leading Dogs:
Consider which dogs to walk together based on size and temperament. Use an anti-pull harness for control. Always establish yourself as the leader. Spend time on foundation training and communication building.
- Ensure you have reliable control and a lead for each dog.
- Use a double leash and coupler for four dogs.
- Put compatible dogs together and make sure the leash has a padded handle for weight.
