Actually, our cats often join us when walking our dogs. We have two dogs, and when we walk them leashed, at night, one to three of our (six) cats come along and walk around us. They dart out in advance up to ten meters, using available cover (cars) to hide, and often laag behind in those places to ensure it is clear that they are not being walked but are simply following the same route of their own accord.
Not sure how this happened, so I can't help you with training advice. But maybe it's just our regular schedule of walking that does it?
One of our cats does the same. We go for a walk with our dogs and she just trails along like 3 meters behind. We didn't train her to do this. Just decided one day that she wanted to walk with us. Sometimes it is scary since walk a bit away from home and fear that she might not fibd back when she loses us. So we don't encourage it.
