Dog Walking Essentials hang from the pet stroller. Typist: Bethany
There are certain things that I never leave home without. My smart phone and my house key are good examples. Those essential items fit nicely into my PoopPac which I always have attached to my Umbilical Belt or the pet stroller. I keep all of my dog walking necessities, like the PoopPac, Umbilical Belt, dog water bottles and travel dishes, organized inside of our entry closet door. I can easily and quickly be ready for a dog walk, an urban hike or a day trip at anytime. Sometimes when I am not in the mood for a walk (yes, that does happen) it helps to have everything so accessibly in one place to make it fast and simple to get out the door. Once I am out walking the dogs, I am always glad to have made it happen.

Dog Walking Essentials
Make sure you have a good pair of shoes, socks (I recommend double layer socks not just for blister prevention but for dryness and warmth,) rain gear, warm clothes and clothes to protect from sun with your dog walking gear too. When I was a personal trainer, professional conversations amongst colleagues almost always centered around how to motivate people to get off the couch and exercise. The best piece of advice that still holds true is that if your gear is ready, and going is effortless, you are more likely to go. So if you are trying to get out for your dog walk early int he morning, set up your gear the night before. When you plan to walk immediately after work, try putting on your walking shoes before you leave work. Anything that makes getting out of the house for your dog walk uncomplicated means you are more likely to actually go and definitely more apt to enjoy yourself. Oh, and while you're doing all your planning and organizing for your walks, don't forget the dog(s)!
