Dog Walk Bag

Dash and I were headed out for a walk yesterday, when I realized that I had no pockets for my key or even belt loops for a treat bag. My dog looked expectantly from me to the door, as I stood wondering where to put the potty bags, cell phone, key, etc.

So, I switched to an extendable leash and tied a plastic bag to the handle to hold the things we needed on our walk.

Later that night, I packed a small fanny pack for future walks. I included:

  • Pick up bags
  • Clicker
  • Treats
  • Spare house key

For the cooler weather, I’ll probably add:

  • A few kleenex
  • Lipbalm
  • Fleece ear-warmer headband

All I have to do is add my cell phone and I’m ready to go. I’ll have to replenish the pick up bags and treats as they are used, but it’s nice to be ready for a walk at a moment’s notice, no matter what I’m wearing!

Try packing your own dog walk bag. Besides a fanny pack, you could use a drawstring dog treat bag or a rock climber’s chalk bag. Both would clip onto your clothing or dog’s leash. Minimalists could use a jogger’s wristband or bag that attaches to your shoe laces. If you’re the creative type, you could make your own custom dog walk bag!
