Is the design of this leash good for when one dog wants to stop and the other doesn't. Will they tug each other? I have a 6lb and a 13lb dog?

They can tug each other. I just make my other dog pause while the one needs to do his business. Hope this helps.

No my female husky likes to pull but my male Malamute does not long story short she pulled the hook off .PS The add for this leash says it can hold up to 500lbs Not true.

I haven't noticed a problem. My dogs are 20 and 26 lbs. Each leash is independent and just goes up to the one handle. Sorry I'm not describing it very well. I find this much easier than using two separate leashes.

I have a boxer mix and pit bull terrier one is 80 lbs and the other is 67 lbs. Works very well with the pulling and keeps them much calmer than a regular leash.

I love this leash. It's totally worth buying. Although I use it on dogs taller than yours. I have two 50 lb siberian huskies and this is 4 feet long. Which is fine for my height dogs but you might need a 6 ft. Just a thought. Maybe do some measuring between the dog and your grasp. I'm 5'6 so if you are closer to the ground it might work? Def works great. Very bright and I'm constantly asked about where to get this since out at night on a dark boardwalk and without notice people think my huskies are "wolves". :)

I have 2 dogs each 47 pounds. I made a second lead that is fixed on one side. It works just fine although I unhook them if I leave the car. They can get tangled up!

I have this leash for my two 50 lb. dogs. I believe the company makes one for smaller dogs.

I walk 2 dogs using these harnesses with great success. I attach one leash to the harness (at the chest) using the leash handle-loop instead of the clip, and then I clip that leash to the other dog's leash handle loop. This way, I can walk both dogs holding the connected leashes with one hand. For large dogs (50 & 70 pounds), this works geat! This harness is wonderful. It takes some getting used to - I always remove it by unhooking the bottom (different color) strap. That helps me to remember how to put it on the next time!

⅜ 6ft leash is what I would recommand. It is strong. 6ft is a good length for training a dog. If your dog pulls a lot please teach him not to pull for both your walking pleasure and comfort as well as safety. There many resources to teach you how. I promise you that you will be glad you invested the time. Good luck.

Yes, you would need to buy an additional leash unless you use one of the "Y" type of dual clasp to which you would only need to attach one lead. Take it easy or you will wind up like me with several "y" dual clasp accessories and still going back to preferring two separate hand held leashes. Determine what will work best by making careful analysis of how you like to walk and also how your dogs prefer to walk. I find that my two dogs need at least some independence to make it an enjoyable walk for all. Look online for many configurations of what you are looking for.

I think it would work for any dog. But my dog is not a tugger, he just gently walks beside us. He's a rescue boxer mix, and he just came to us that well trained. But the leash itself is very well made and tough.

I only used this device twice with my dog while set up at camp and hiking for the weekend before I was over it. My dog is really good about staying by my side, but I think it would have worked better if I used a longer leash. I was using a 4 foot cord and it felt like I was dragging him the whole time. This device wouldn't be good for a dog who pulls on a regular leash because if they start pulling on your hips it could turn dangerous on trails.

The leash is rigid except where it joins the bike and at the last 10" or so where it goes to Snoopy's collar. If you dog is less than 60 lbs, there should be no problem. If he is 90 lbs, or you want to use a splitter and run two hounds of that size, then it's a bit light duty for that. So to answer your question, a medium or smaller god should pretty much be kept away from the bike wheels.

I have two different size dogs. It seem to work better for my dog who weighs about 60lbs my other dog who weighs about 80lbs it wouldn't stop her. But I think also matters how old your dog is. If you start them as a puppy they respond better than being an older dog

I don't know. Our dog is about 60lb. I don't think it is the size of the dog that is a problem but rather the poor design of the leash. I would not spend $100+ on that particular leash. It wasn't worth it.

It should work with a front harness. We have two hounds (fox hound, and beagle). They pull HARD on a normal leash, so we use front harnesses. Surprisingly enough, when they walk together on the tandem leash, they don't pull. We've actually started using their regular harnesses with this leash.

Yes. The two dogs are on leashes that are connected to one tether that you are holding. The puppy is likely to run around and tangle up with the older dog. This double leash works GREAT with two dogs of similar disposition but not so well when the dogs are different speeds and temperments. It IS a very good leash though for it's purpose.

I use these on all 4 of my dogs. We have 2 huskies, 1 wolf hybrid and a pit mix. Works wonders. I can walk all four of them at once without any pulling and altogether there is 350lbs of dog there. Also, we go to the dog park every day and all 4 run for 1-3 hours without any issue at all. The brief answer......it does not affect they way they walk and they are totally able to run freely with it on. The harness does not "force" them to heel. Since the leash is attached to the loop on their chest, it simply breaks their momentum and prevents them from pulling.

I have used these leashes for several years now. They hold up very well and the lock will stop them in their tracks, just make sure you are holding on to the leash tightly (I'm sure you know this). We use it on a 80 lb GS mix and a 65 lb Pitt Bull with no problems at all.Hope this helps you.
