Looking for Triple Leashes/Couplers - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**Natures Encore** · 08-01-2008, 10:25 AM

The ones I've found on the net are either too thick or have heavy hardware. I'm looking for a triple leash or coupler specifically made for small dogs.

Also, I was looking at these Step-in Harnesses at ebay, and was wondering if anyone uses these or something similar and could give me a review.

I'm open to other types of harnesses, as well, so if you have one you really love, please tell me about it. We already have the Puppia harnesses, which we love, but I'm looking for something with thinner straps or rolled straps so it is hidden by their fur. It definitely has to be escape-proof, too.

Thanks everyone,

Angela

A triple coupler???!

sorry, I'm just visualizing my three coupled together so closely.....

do your pups walk that well together? I have a coupler that I hook up to Archie and Abbey when we're going somewhere - like if we're going to be standing in line for something - but not for actual walks.
I also use it on their harnesses to teather them into their car seat.

For walks I use two four foot long leashes and put them onto a very large padded "D" ring. Then I have Tinker on a six foot long leash so when I have all three leashes in one hand, at least Tink has two feet more to spread out alittle.

When I tried walking Archie & Abbey on the short coupler, when one stoped to pee, the other would pull him/her over!

I so use step-in harnesses, but the ones that click shut are easier, I think.

I have a couple of step-in harnesses from SM member's Tickled Pink Boutique and they're great.

I've made quite a few triple couplers. They aren't listed on the site since it's more of a custom made item but if you're interested feel free to PM me.

See Chattiesmom on this site. She makes silk step-in harnesses and couplers. She can do anything, so talk to her.

I think I must be the Queen of harness buying. :P I've spent many hours trying to find the perfect harness. I've also spent alot of money on harnesses that now sit in the drawer never to be used again for various reasons.

I DID find the perfect harness after all this and I wouldn't EVER be without them at this point. They are called "ChokeFree Collars". Made by a husband and wife team. The husband (an aeronautical engineer) "invented" them with an idea from his wife. I worried at first that the velco wouldn't hold on Spring who can be a puller when she spies a squirrel down the street. I can promise you that that fear was bogus. The velcro is VERY firm and you REALLY have to pull to get it off.

I've got a number of colors. :P

Here's the link.

I have several harnesses and a triple coupler from Angelyn (Tiffany) She's awesomen to deal with and she ships it so quickly. Needless to say i'm addicted to her harnesses and leads and now the couplers.

Thank you, everyone! I will be PM'ing Angelyn very quickly about the "triple couplers" (<---- that sounds so funny to me). Jeni, I LOVE those harnesses you recommended, so I'll be checking into those, as well. Do your babies have any issues with their legs rubbing on the harness while walking? I've read about the "Buddy Belts" causing chaffing on some dogs, and now they have soft covers for them.

Is there anyone here that sells the Chokefree harnesses?
