@eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...
Leads

I know this is not the right section but couldn't think where to put it!!
I have a double/triple lead which I brought from a US website. I'm looking for another because this nonwe is getting worn but can't find the site. The manufactures tag has worn off years ago.
Does any one know where I can get them, please? I can only walk my Basenjis 2 to 3 at a time now and this lead has one handle, then a swivel piece where the leads are attached so that they never tangle.
I can't find anything like in the UK although I've tried every manudfacturer I can think of.

I have a EZYDOG (ezydog.com), has a handle with a 2 foot lead with a swivel buckle at the end, then I have 2 leads (3 or 4 ft, can't remember) that attach to the buckler, works great for 2 dogs, but tangles when walking three.
My husband has made me a lovely 3 lead / 1 handle walking lead, I couldn't manage walking all 3 without it!

I got this coupler by ruffwear a couple of years ago on sale at llbean for $5…works fine, but I don't really use it all that often.

Thank you to all for your replies. It isn't really a coupler lead - we can get these here. the leads are a normal length and can be used on their own if necesaary although they have clips on both ends. They are actually then joined onto a swivel joint and a handle attached to that. Each dog is able to move in a different direction if necessary. For instance, one of mine likes to jump up on walls or banks and whoever is attached doesn't have to follow. With a coupler they are much moore restricted. Thank you for the suggestion Ivoss and Renaultone.
Macpack - I'm going to look on the Ezydog site now because that sounds like it. I walk the quietest on the third and don't find they tangle.

Was it something like this? -
Krunzer, thank you. These look more like mine but I've e mailed them for the size of the leashes which seem to be shorter than the one i've got.
