In a home with multiple dogs, there are several ways to keep dog leashes organized and readily available when you need them.
Hang a shelf style coat rack on the wall near the door you use most often when taking your dogs outside. Hang leashes individually on the hooks beneath the shelf. Dog treats, dog coats and sweaters, or your outdoor accessories such as gloves or hats can be kept on the shelf above the coat hooks or in cubbies that are part of the coat rack design.

If space near the door is severely limited, decorative cup hooks can be screwed into the wall beside of the door and leashes can be hung on them.
A wall mount key holder requires little wall space and is ideal for hanging multiple dog leashes. For a more decorative option, choose key holders with a dog motif as part of their design.
Another organizational option is to keep a multi-section storage unit in a specified area such as the laundry room or an enclosed porch or back entry way. Designate a box, basket, or shelf for each pet and keep their supplies and accessories there.
I keep 2 sets for each of them. Each one (collar and leash) has the pet's name on it. I keep one set in the house in my coat closet in a small bin up on the shelf.
We have two German Shepherds, and have all sorts of leashes, accessories, etc. We have a desk organizer that we store leashes and collars in. Each drawer has the name of our pet and what's in them.
