I've been using the Buddy System for over three years and absolutely love it. (This doesn't show as a "verified purchase" because they used to have a separate listing for the small dog system.) I've used this with up to three dogs - from 7 lbs to 28 lbs. Currently we have a 7 lb Malti-Poo and a 16 lb Shihtzu/Bichon. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands so while I CAN use a regular leash, my hands will hurt afterwards. Hands-free is the way to go for me. Plus being able to freely swing my arms is an added bonus. I used to also have a poop bag holder and a small garage door opener attached to the belt, but I recently added a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rapid-Rewards-Deluxe-Dog-Training-Bag-with-Belt-by-Doggone-Good-Black/dp/B009EVRAPE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rapid Rewards Deluxe Dog Training Bag with Belt by Doggone Good! (Black)</a>&nbsp;to the Buddy System belt and it holds that plus more (like Kleenex and a phone). One time I had someone ask me if I was "being towed". I think on super windy days, it feels like that. If you are looking for a great hands-free system, this one is amazing! The front of the belt does curl from the dogs' loops pulling on it, but that is to be expected. The belt itself is also very adjustable. I used to have to wear this at its largest size (and tight) and have lost enough weight that it is about 5" from its smallest size. I added reflective tape to the lower portion of each dog leash to help with visibility in the morning as well as to all of the front connections. I snap it behind me so that I also have reflective tape behind. (Plus reflective stuff on my clothing and hat AND the dogs wear reflective walking harnesses and collars.)
