Yes... Umbrellas are a thing of the past. It's rain jacketr and hood these days. Balancing 2 dogs and picking up poop gets to be an art form.
I always walk the two together. Even when it was just Tucker, I let him walk and sniff, mark when he wanted. As I read the posts about pottying before the walk..... I wish I had gone that route. My feeling was Tuck is cooped up in the house 3 days a week when I'm at work, sso let him sniff the great outdoors. So walking him takes forever.
In Obedience class both dogs learn to heel and do it well. Part of our walks they are in heel position but I also break and let them go at their own pace. They walk ahead of me but really don't pull.
Lulu wlks great onleash. She has places to go and people o see so she keeps mpving. Wlaking them together, Lulu had got Tucker walking more sniffing less.
I have a coupler leash with each dog having about a foot on the splitter (I have thise smaller 6 inch deals and they are problematic). I like the coupler leash when I am taing them in crowds, I feel I can keep them under control.
As for tangling leashes, I'm also very efficient at untangling as we walk.
You do develop skill w/two leashes no matter how awkward it feels at first.
