7 Genius Dog Walking Hacks Every Pet Parent Should Know
Let’s be honest: dog walks can sometimes feel like a full-body workout, a scavenger hunt, and a cleanup mission all in one.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Here are 7 game-changing tips for making walks easier, cleaner, and way more enjoyable for both of you:
1. Use a carabiner for hands-free walking
Clip the leash to a carabiner on your belt loop or waist pack to free up your hands (especially if you’re wrangling poop bags, treats, or your phone).
2. Pre-load poop bags in your jacket or bag
Don’t wait until your dog’s mid-squat to remember the bags. Keep a few bags folded and stashed in your coat pocket, fanny pack, or even your glove compartment.
👉 Pro tip: Use our 1080-count box so you’re never scrambling last minute.
3. Train a “leave it” command
This one saves you from all the gross things your dog will try to eat on the street. Training a reliable “leave it” can prevent vet visits and save your sanity.
4. Glow up for nighttime walks
Use reflective collars or LED leash attachments when walking after dark. Bonus: toss a small flashlight or headlamp in your poop bag stash.
5. Bring water—yes, even for short walks
Just like you wouldn’t hike without water, your dog shouldn’t either. A small collapsible bowl fits right in your walking bag.
6. Double knot your poop bags for extra security
Especially if it’s a… serious situation. Our thick poop bags are leak-resistant, but this trick keeps things extra contained.
7. Rotate your routes to keep it fresh
Bored dogs = distracted dogs. A new path stimulates their mind, encourages better behavior, and keeps your walks exciting.
💬 Final Thought:
Daily walks are about more than just potty breaks—they’re bonding time. These small tweaks can turn your routine walk into something you both look forward to.
