Hello, I wondered if I could have any advice for my dogs walk re-training.

I've got 3 staffies and Max was terrible to walk, he barked at all dogs he saw and pulled and whined if I stopped. so last 14 month or so I walked my dogs separately and issue he had was incredibly improved. 
 I think it is time to try walking 2 dogs together on lead -Poppy and Max- as Poppy is just over 13 months now and can walk a bit more distance. ( But I am not going to give her same amount of exercise walk as Max)

 its purely lead training of 2 dogs, which I haven't done it for a while with Max and I'm not looking forward to it. I can see as soon as I start walk my other dog with him he start pull and get all high tension but same time, I wonder if he's re-trainable as he got much calmer past 13 months by individual walk.

 I'm thinking take his own walk first and bring him home, and add Poppy in the party to see how it goes.

My question is..
1) I'm thinking to get this lead goes around my back and shoulder , like a big loop. I keep max on this one so even if Max start pull I'll get more steadiness and doesn't have to drug Poppy. ( Poppy is a natural good lead walker)
 2) but would it be better just keep Max on short lead?
 
Poppy and Sasha can walk perfectly in good manner on lead. No pull or barking at other dog so its just brilliant happy walk.

 I can leave Max as he is and can keep up his individual walk but I think it would be nice if he could be trained for 2 dog walk. or do you think I'm asking too much?

 Max is not food or toy orientate when one step goes out from the house.  He understand my command ( mainly whistle, finger snapping, and hand sign along with voice command ) and respond well if he is on his own ,purely his highest reward is going outside for walk and he seems know that I am the person take him out so should be listening......when he's on his own..

Id definately have another go seeing as you have put so much effort in over the last year with max.

At first I would do a small walk together and build up over time. Like a walk around the block with him and poppy and praise him when he is good.

He will be used to being alone so a slow build up would be good just to get him back into walking with another dog.

I dont know what else to suggest huni.x

Thank you Yasmin,
 maybe that's the best way start from short distance. As I don't want him to see I'm taking his joyful "own" walk away, might be better do the training session as addition to his own walk?

 it will be brilliant if I could take all 3 dogs out for any reason, for just quick walk or just have fresh air.

...... but I don't think I'll never come to off lead walk with all 3 dogs. They listen well when they are alone, but I don't think my dogs are the stage all 3 of them listen my recall straight away when they are all off lead together.  and again, I never tried that so if I ever find perfect occasion to give a go, (at enclosed open quiet place with no other dog ) I might try to see what will happen.....and again again, I think I need deserted island with no one else on it to ensure the everyone else's safety for the experiment. 

if it were me id just go for it on a trial and error basis, i carnt think of another way without trying it and see how things go?

Oh so very true ozbod1, its just traumatic experience when Max was all barking and pulling badly when he saw other dog. ( when I was walking with Sasha) . With individual walk the things got much calmer but if he starts the same again I know I would feel lost. I would feel as if all the good gain with him goes down the drain.

I know its  totally up to me bringing all mental strength to have a go. for trial. Just see whats going to happen. com'moooon me.

Hi Gaea, i'm haveing same prob As yet since i've moved to Cambs i have'nt walked my two together, walk them separately. Iwould just luv to get it sorted. Jake is 2yrs 5mths, Roxy is 9mths. Jake is a puller, always has been he's strong on the lead. when he goes of lead, he just goes flat out, just does laps of the field, when he goes back on lead, you'd think he'd ease up, no chance. I street walk him, he's just got to pull, he's in the fast lane all the time, he can ease off a bit towards the end, it is a strain! I have'nt let roxy off lead yet, because i have'nt found anywhere yet enclosed, she is better than Jake walking on lead. altho she can be better. She's a right little sniffer ha! So my aim is in time to walk in harmony with them both.I live in hope! Jillx
