does anyone know where i can get a triple lead, many thanks

I've never seen a triple lead, but I have had a double one. I hated it. On a normal lead you can have individual control over each dog, even if you do look like a maypole from time to time ;) On a double lead I found that when one dog wanted to stop and sniff the other wouldn't, and I would end up having a very upset dog. When one pulled one way, and the other pulled in a completely opposite direction I ended up giving up on it, and got new leads :D I know I'm not putting it down on paper very well, but I think it takes more effort than a normal one.

I agree.  I got five leads of the same kind but in different colours made by Outhwaites ropemakers.  they give me good grip and it is easy to unravel them all if they get tool twisted up.

I have 5 dogs and walk them all at the same time with each having their own lead. In the beginning we could get a bit tied up but we're all getting the hang of it now !

I also have five dogs and they all have a seperate lead, I personally find it much easier, though they are more off lead than ever on.  As long as you have taught your dogs to walk to heal and not pull, it is not a problem. I personally would find a double or triple lead hard to work with, you are making your dogs act as one body, which is hard.

thanks, i will stick with the individual leads then

I've seen triple leads at shows, but they look awfully short and don't give the dogs much freedom away from each other. I walked my 3 dogs on one double and one single lead back when I could still walk all 3 together, before the 2 boys started fighting. :-(

I used to use a split lead to go into shows as my breed are very bouncy and would greet every one on the way in at shoulder height.  It did work but the more bouncy dog pulled the less hyper around and wasn't the answer for me personally.  I now use half check leads for both, they very rarley pull, but they have been separately trained, and this methods works best for me.  The leads never become tight either and the dogs don't lean into them.  If I take them in on their slim leather leads they sense they have more freedom and we are back to bouncing all over every one.

I would definately stick with seperate leads.  I also walk all five of mine together and find that with individual leads, you can correct each dog seperately.  If you make sure that all of them are the same type and length of lead, it makes life a lot easier!

Here are my favourite leads that I find are easy to use in a lerger number as you get a good grip with them being squishy (four or five also keep your hands warm):

I like the look of them, they're on my list
