Normally we go for a walk around 10-12 at night, but tonight around 8ish was relatively warm (48 degrees) with little if any rain. I decided to take advantage of that and harnessed and packed up the dogs for our 2 mile walk.
Each dog has a certain leash-hookup and walking position.
Conker gets the full-length of his leash and is allowed to pull (not hard) out front. He also has a bungee attached to the leash, which is hooked to my pack's belt strap.
Conker carried two empty mini Nalgine bottles. (Getting him used to the bulk)
Sasha is to my right and slightly in front, just behind Conker. She gets almost the full length of her leash which is looped around my pack's belt strap and clipped to the floating ring on her leash.
Sasha carried a home-made dog first-aid kit, some rope and a couple toys.
Juneau is on my left, either right beside or slightly in front. She gets half her leash length, one clip attached to the metal thing on her harness, the other on the tow loop. A carabiner is attached to the floating ring and my belt strap.
Juneau carried about 3 liters, or roughly just over 6 pounds.
This setup enables me to walk hands free and have better control over the dogs if I need it.
Uno has that same pack in Blue, I probably had it for 2 years now and it still looks new. Love ruffwear stuff.
