If you own a dog, you should probably know what is best for him, and while this sounds quite ok it might not be perfect for every dog. I would also suggest that, if possible, you should walk them together a few times before you adopt the second one
Yea sure that works fine, until the new dog is in the old dog’s house/space and then they don’t like it. It takes more than a walk or two for two dogs to start cohabitating peacefully.
While introducing dogs during a walk can be effective in many cases, it may not work if one or both dogs have aggressive tendencies, fear-based behaviors, or past traumatic experiences with other dogs. Additionally, the environment, timing, and individual personalities of the dogs involved can also influence the effectiveness of this approach.
My parents always introduced new dogs together in a neutral zone – a place no two dogs have a claim on. It seems to work well.
I disagree!! Leashed dogs are often more aggressive because they don’t have control. This is not the best way, or even a good way, to introduce dogs to one another.

Does this work for kids too?
They should meet in โneutralโ ground. Such as the front yard or similar place. Let them both see that you are safe with both of them and neither one is going to hurt you.
More often than not they are most protective of their person.
