I agree with Lisa. I don't walk mine at the same time. I don't feel that I could handle the two of them if a scuffle were to break out. Better safe than sorry.Lisa said:I walk my dogs separately. My biggest fear would be walking my 2 dogs and having a loose dog run up and start hassling my dogs. In that case it would be extrememly difficult for me to get any control. My older dog is large and also extrememly hard, so I need two hands to give him a good correction if he needs it. I know alot of people walk their dogs together, but in my case I just don't feel safe with the idea.
That's the problem I have. Chico could care less...he's really mellow. Heidi cries the whole time we are gone. I have to wait until my husband comes home to walk them and she still cries when he is home. She's extremely attached to me and it's very stressful. I feel guilty leaving her because she has bad seperation anxiety. She is fine if she is with Chico but if I have to take him to the vet, Heidi has to go with us or go to my mom's house.Roxy said:Doesn't the other dog at home get lonely waitng ? I think Roxy may pull the backdoor of the hinges, if walked with out her.
Roxy's with me most of the time. Sometimes she is quite happy for me to leave, other times I have come home to a hole in the door where the cat flap was once, and now laying in piece's by the back door ready for me to step on when I get home. :twisted: ...and she always looks as me as if to say... 'next time it will be the whole door!!'.... :shock:Chico.Heidi said:That's the problem I have. Chico could care less...he's really mellow. Heidi cries the whole time we are gone.

yeh I have a large back garden and the use of the school grounds. But at weekends I like pushing jamie and walking Roxy around the nieghbour hood. She has learnt she has to walk behind the pushchair, is she don't... her toes get run over by the p'chairs wheels lolLuvaBULL said:Luckily I have a back yard that they run and play in, so they get enough exercise that I don't need to walk them... because I know Heaven would be very distraught if I took them separately. And Koa has become such a big wuss, he'd probably cry too. I can't really take Heaven anywhere anymore, she is very aggressive toward other animals, and barks wildly at strangers too. I try to avoid an ugly situation at all costs.
