Re: [pyrnet] Buddy System Leash

[Julie Johnston <raven4luck@adelphia.net>]

I got one of those Buddy system leashes too and they custom made it with 2
added D rings on the sides for all my dogs.  I used to just carry the
extendable leads in a fanny pack because I noticed that I wasn't walking
properly holding the leash.  I was doing massage therapy at the time so I
always analyze people's gaits.  Anyway, once I could walk and swing my arms
naturally, it really helped.  I'll have to check out the bungee thing
though.  All 6 of mine wear the soft slip collars and I've had no problems
with them either - just had to get a bigger one when Em grew out of hers

The site is http://www.WhitePineOutfitters.com/  if anyone is interested.
