All of you out there with multiple dogs - how do you handle walking them? I have 4 so I usually walk them 2 by 2. The problem is that as soon as they see the leashes and harnesses, they go CRAZY!!! They all start barking and play fighting (well, all except for Riley - she sometimes runs into another room to get away from the 3 monsters). They bark right into each other's mouths as if to say who is going first on the walk. I have tried putting the ones who are not going first in a separate room, but the other two still persist in this fighting behavior. They carry it over into the first 30 seconds of the walk. When they settle down it is pleasant. Any ideas about how to calm them down? Is this a situation that calls for a trainer?
