Dog Walking: Everything for Relaxed Walks with Your Dog

Dog Walking: Well Equipped for Every Walk

The daily walk is a highlight for your dog: sniffing, running, discovering new things. To keep you both relaxed when you're out and about, you need equipment that fits securely and suits your everyday life. Here you'll find collars, harnesses and leads, weatherproof dog clothing, lights for dark days and poop bags and poop scoops to keep paths clean.

Combining Collar, Harness and Lead

A dog collar is quick to put on and works well for dogs that walk nicely on a loose lead. If your dog still pulls hard, a well-fitting dog harness protects the sensitive neck area. When it comes to the lead, it depends on how you use it: an adjustable training lead suits town walks, while a long line is ideal for recall training in the field. If you walk two dogs at once, a coupler keeps both in one hand.

Safe and Clean in All Weathers

In autumn and winter it gets dark early. A light-up collar or reflective details make sure drivers and cyclists see your dog in good time. A coat or jumper helps against rain and cold, and dog boots protect against grit, road salt and hot tarmac. When it comes to clearing up, poop bags belong in every jacket pocket, and a poop scoop or grabber makes picking up easier. A paw cleaner helps when you come home muddy.

Frequently asked questions

How often a day does a dog need to go for a walk?
Most adult dogs need three to four outings a day, including at least one longer walk for running and sniffing. Puppies and older dogs need to go out more often, but shorter walks are enough for them.

What should I take with me on a walk?
Poop bags, a few treats as rewards and, on longer outings, water for your dog have all proven their worth. In the darker months, a light on the collar or harness is a sensible addition too.

Do dogs have to be kept on a lead everywhere?
That varies a lot from place to place and often depends on the local area and the time of year, for example during the ground-nesting bird season. It's best to check with your local council which rules apply where you live.
