Traveling Companions and the RESTRICTIONS
We travel with 3 Pomeranians, and they are pretty well behaved. All dogs bark, all dogs poop, and even some will bite, when provoked. Ours do all but the biting thing... We carry a pen like enclosure....

FranknJulie - have you tried the double leashes? I use one almost exclusively with my 2 dogs. It makes things so much easier. With 2 on the double leash, the leash never tangles. When I had a third dog, I simply used a single leash for her in addition for the double for the two. Made it very easy.
The way my double leash works is: I use a regular leash for my end. That leash clasps onto a hard metal ring. Then I have 2 equal length leashes that each have the clasp on both ends - one end clasps onto the hard metal ring, the other end clasps onto the dog's collar. For my end, I have a 6ft leash, an 18" leash, plus a handle only. I have to put together new short ones for the dogs' end - currently I have just the 2 foot leash for both. I used to have the 1 foot leash for both and really liked that.
With the double leash, I find it very easy to hook it around my chair arm/leg while I sit, attach it to the RV's side mirrors when I'm moving around. I can even attach one of the dog's to the handle of the long leash so that they are one either end of it, run it through something sturdy (step handle, etc.) so that the dogs keep each other in check - when one sees something and starts for it, the other one follows and that pulls the first one back. I don't even bother with tie outs anymore because I have more control and no tangles.
