No matter whether your dog is walked at dawn along the mountain trail, or along the main street strip after-hours, it’s a safe bet that the walk is your dog’s very favorite part of her daily routine. But, in our efforts to appease our dogs, not many of us really take time to make the walk a valued part of our own hectic day.
If only you were able to look forward to the walk as much as your dogs.
You know, there are a few companies trying to make the walk routine easier on us 2 legged walkers.
Go easy on yourself and let the help dog take some of the load. Planet Dog has created a 2-in-1 Dog and Human Pack, which will allow man and mutt to share the same pack. Keep your cell phone, gym clothes, and other items handy when needed, then throw in a bottle of water and a few waste bags, strap your dog in and strut. 
The 2-in-1 Pack, available at Ruff Haus Pets for $79.95, fits medium to large dogs
If it isn’t just enough relieve yourself of some of the bulk associated with walking the dog, try the hipster alternative. Dogmatic offers a hands-free leash, which includes a water bottle holder, as well as a pouch for cell phone or keys. Most importantly, you will be relieved of all the stress of having to switch the leash from hand to hand to accommodate a dog (or dogs) who cannot make up her mind on which side she’d like to explore. Be hands free and stress free, for just at $24.99 at DogToys.com
Lastly, if it’s ‘cleanup’ that you dread, just consider Dizpoz-a-Scoop. Bio-friendly opaque plastic bags, attached to a cardboard handle, so you don’t have to touch ‘it’, but instead, you can seal ‘it’ up and toss ‘it’ out. These sanitary poop-scoopers are available (in different sizes) at most pet retailers, and for about a quarter a piece, it’s worth the cleanliness.
Your dog works hard to make you happy; shouldn’t you make it easier on her by making your walks easier on you?
