Guardian Gear 12-Inch Nylon 3-Way Medium Dog Coupler with Nickel Plated Swivel Clip, Black


Needs swivels on each end!
I have been walking my two pugs on a 2-lead coupler similar to this for some time now. They got used to the coupler quickly and couldnt tangle the leads thanks to the swivel on the end of the leash. We recently expanded our pug family and adopted a puppy. I ordered this thinking it would be the ideal solution to adding a third dog to the leash, but it didnt work out as expected. While the three pugs adapted to walking in close proximity to each other, they are still dogs. This 3-lead coupler gets twisted up pretty quickly on our walks, and I often have to stop, unclip the leash and pull the twists out of the coupler. A simple swivel on the end of each lead where they connect to the ring would make this item perfect! It would be self-untangling and the dogs and I could enjoy our walks without having to stop every 3 minutes to get the coupler untwisted.
needs more engineering
Unless your 3 dogs are very sedate and will walk side by side without being "dogs", you will find this gets very twisted and tangled all around their legs. I guess it is better than nothing for some occasional use, but I don't have the patience. There are so many dog product companies out there...how is it that not one of them can design a way to walk three dogs on one leash?
Hope to lead 3 huskies with it this winter
I got this to experiment with three huskies being hooked up as a sled team. It seems to work after they stop trying to wrestle each other because they are in such close proximity but once we get some momentum going it is great. Just be sure to watch out for potty breaks because they other dogs don't tend to notice.
