Coupler Training
I just bought a leash coupler for my dogs to avoid disaster with tangling my feet when casually walking. We went to a training class today and I think it's going to be a great help with training, too. Since Luca, who is 16 months old has already learned some commands, at least theoretically, I give he command to him first, e.g. "Go to your bed". Calla, who is 6 months, has to follow along since they are coupled and so she learns the command by demonstration so to speak. I think it will help her learn quickly.

We use a coupler also...I don't know if it helps with the training...but the "warning siren", tested the first Tuesday of every month, went off and I am here to say, they RAN...perfectly side by side...dragging DH behind them....

I used coupler with Samantha & Mickey. So much more preferred than tripping over them. I did have a couple problems with one of them always trying to be in front of the other which left me behind and each of them wanting to walk next to me. Truthfully, I did not work very hard on correcting this since Mickey wasn't staying with us permanently but I do plan on using it for Samantha and Charli. A little too early yet since she is so much smaller than Samantha. I am definitely going to work with Debbie Kaikaka, our trainer (member of DK) on this!

The ability to have one part of the coupler longer than the other might help with size difference but I'm not sure. mine are about equal size now.
