Thanks for the tips everyone !
I do intend to walk them separately, just wondered about the odd occassion when I'd have both with me really. Don't want Misty to turn into some kind of lapdog by carrying her about. I'll just have to develop a strict routine I guess.
There's a small park directly opposite me where I can take Misty.........I intend to do a lot of lead work, don't want to end up with a second puller.
Although Jimmy doesn't always pull I'm sure the exciement of having Misty there will make him worse.........I've got a few months to work on him before they will be walked together.
I'm planning to take Misty to ringcraft in the hope that it will teach her better lead "manners" than the pesky Jimmy has !
After Misty's little walk I can then take Jimmy off to the big park which is about 20 mins drive away. I'm going to get so fit with all this walking !
From what you say it seems the split lead idea is best left for a good while yet, if at all. Individual leads seem to be more adaptable, with more control over each dog.
Loraine.....re the pedestrian crossing problem. I've seen a lady that has an assortment of about 6 snappy little dogs, she has to bend down and use her nose to press the button on the crossing, as her other hand is always full of shopping bags !
Wouldn't recommend it though as it causes much mirth amongst passers by !
Pammy......a prezzie for Jimmy, I hadn't thought of that !
