I like the leash on which you can walk two at the same time!!! I saw it on one of Cesar's shows as well. I experienced great problems with being tangled in the leashes while walking Mika and Ciara the other day!!!
Not too sure about the harness though. Does anyone know if it hurts the dogs? It will make grooming a lot easier though. _________________  |

| Ive also seen those! Im not a fan of carrying my dogs around like a sack of potatoes but the double leash is a great idea! I also get tangles and people laugh at me walking 2 tiny dogs with so much difficulty! |

| Hee hee........ you should see my hubby & I when we take all 11 yorkie kids for a walk  We have to stop every few minutes to untangle all the leashes  We must be quite a sight :joker: But once we get on to the beach or the field then we drop all the leashes and let the kids run free  But the leashes stay on just incase we need to gather everyone together in a hurry. |

| Wow, I don't know if I'd use this on my Yorkies!! It doesn't look very comfortable and in my opinion, a fabric wrap works better if you want to keep your Yorkie on your person.
I recently bought a leash coupler from A Pet's Life and while the leash is great quality, my Yorkies get too psyched up together and they are more unruly in the coupler! When we go to the park, I have harnesses on both with a leash on Cash too. Cash loves to chase joggers and bikes, so he is on a leash at the moment while he is trained to leave them alone! June is off-leash because we go to an off-leash park and she always stays very close, so it works for us.
Here is the coupler that I bought: http://www.apetslife.co.za/detail.asp?c=1&s=13&t=122&p=5780&x=0&afl=13. It works wonderfully, but I never use it, lol. Maybe in the future... _________________  |

| Thats a pity!!! I thought it would make things easier!!!!
When Cesar walks the dogs it looks so easy!!! Oh well, guess we will have to walk storm separately and then the yorkies!!! _________________  |

| Maybe you can use it if you train them to walk calmly? Our behaviourist has also said that one of the disadvantages of the couplers are that they cause the dogs to become more energetic and unruly. I think you can use it if you train them correctly... to be honest, we tried the coupler a few times, but I never trained them to walk properly on it. Cash is a bad walker to begin with (he likes running, so he pulls) and June is no match for him, so he would just drag her along... and that got her irritated and excited! Hehe, the coupler doesn't work for us. But luckily, the park is off-leash, so we don't even need leashes! _________________  |

| Ok...so maybe it could work for me. Mika only had one walk on his leash so far and he runs after Ciara. She is quite calm on her leash. But we will have to see as he is still a playful pup and might also irritate her!!! Off the topic. I e-mailed Kerry at PETS to ask about the Brackenfell drop off point but got no response. _________________  |

| That's very nice Marilize! I didn't realize it's so expensive though. It's basically just a connection. |

| I know!! There are cheaper ones, but they tangle easily. The one I bought is specially designed not to get tangled between the two dogs and you can adjust the lengths (to accommodate your Yorkie sizes). I think that makes it more expensive. And I also figured that I should buy quality... hehe, and now I don't really use it. If anyone wants to take it off my hands, let me know. I've used it twice, lol. It just doesn't work for my Yorkies - I was bummed because it was expensive, but oh well. If anyone's interested, let me know. _________________  |

Not too sure about the harness though. Does anyone know if it hurts the dogs? It will make grooming a lot easier though. | :santa: Hi Val - Cecile here from 3P's Practical Pet Products - thanks for your reviews on my products - I have had only positive replies so far from the 3rd Arm Carrier Bag - made it as comfortable as possible and it has various sizes to fit the doggie comfortably - it helps a lot if you need your hands/arms and you have Yorkies "without legs"!
I have a groomer also using them and it works wonders if you need to cut the nails and hair ! - I have a "wild" one wont allow nail clipping BUT I cut Kiarii's nails hanging in the 3rd Arm in less than 2 minutes!!! She did not stress at all ! And previously I had to tie her down with my legs and struggle like hell to get her nails done - hyperventelating and all that drama to an end!!! The bag is also converted to a groomers bag with clip/hooks at the end in stead of straps... You can use it for a safety bag when travelling shorter distances - I also make a cute Travel Basket now for 1 or 2 doggies...
I started the products for Yorkie and small doggie owners to help them handling their kids easier and make their lives SAFE... I have 4 Gorgeous Yorkies - my life! - and I also look after Yorkies and other small doggies - the more the merrier! I just LOVE Yorkies to bits!
The leash I made with swivel hooks to help prevent tangling - the harness I am still working on as my suppliers dont have the right "hardware" in stock at present to finalize the harness BUT it is helping to prevent the dogs from falling out if you have to lift them out of harms way... I test all this on my 4 Yorkies but would love some outsider opinions too! It is great for BACK support too....
There is a lot of awesome bling bling out there for our dogs BUT I needed practical stuff to help me handle my kids safely and thus all these products materialized from that need and requests from doggie owners...
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL TO TRY THE PRODUCTS WITH A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE - at it will be very valuable for me to get feedback - thus I can improve on my products....
My website is - Yorkienetwork.com - 3P's Practical Pet Products has a section of its own on there...
I have started the website to connect Yorkie owners and get them in contact with everything Yorkie! I would love to invite you all to join the site as well and get info out there for other Yorkie owners - we need clubs and services etc - I often get people asking me and I just dont have enough time at present to get all the info myself !!!! SO PLEASE HELP! I will link to this site as it is perfect addition to my site which dont have this GREAT chatting sections!
Well I hope to hear from your Yorkie owners and have a great PAWSOME XMAS ..... Cecile
