The Ultimate Dog Walking Checklist What Every Pet Parent Needs

Taking your dog out for a walk should be one of the best parts of your day — and theirs. But it’s not just about grabbing the lead and heading out the door. Whether you're strolling through the countryside or pacing the pavement in town, having the right gear makes all the difference.

Here’s your ultimate checklist to make every walk safe, comfortable, and enjoyable — for both you and your pup.

✔️ 1. A Comfortable, Secure Harness

A good harness is the heart of any dog walk. It gives you better control and prevents strain on your dog’s neck, especially if they tend to pull. Look for adjustable straps, breathable fabric, and a snug but comfy fit.

Our Tweed Harness Collection is designed for everyday comfort with a touch of classic style. It’s lightweight, secure, and perfect for all kinds of adventures.

✔️ 2. A Sturdy Lead (or Two!)

A strong lead is a must. Choose one that’s easy to grip and the right length for your walking style. For busy areas, a shorter lead gives better control, while a longer one works well in open spaces.

We recommend our Tweed Dog Leads — not just for their durability, but also their stylish finish. They’re built for both training and everyday strolls.

✔️ 3. Matching Collar with ID Tag

Even if your dog is microchipped, a collar with an ID tag is essential. It’s the quickest way to identify your dog if they ever get lost.

Our Tweed Collar Collection includes adjustable options in elegant colours that match our leads and harnesses perfectly.

✔️ 4. Poop Bags & A Discreet Holder

Every responsible dog owner knows the importance of cleaning up. But instead of crumpling bags into your pocket, use a designated holder that clips onto your lead or bag.

Explore our Accessories Collection for stylish, hands-free poop bag holders that match the rest of your gear.

✔️ 5. Dog Walking Bag

From treats and keys to spare bags and wipes, a good dog walking bag helps you stay organised. Choose one with zipped compartments and easy access to the essentials.

Our Dog Walking Bag is ideal for everyday outings. It’s practical, weather-resistant, and stylish enough to carry anywhere.

✔️ 6. Treats for Training or Rewards

Keep a few tasty treats on hand to reward good behaviour or help with training. Make sure they’re in a secure pouch or pocket to avoid mess and temptations.

✔️ 7. Water & Travel Bowl (Especially for Longer Walks)

If you're going out for more than 30 minutes, it’s a good idea to carry water for your pup. A collapsible travel bowl is easy to tuck into your bag.

✔️ 8. Weather-Appropriate Extras

• In winter: A dog coat or jumper for small or short-haired breeds
• In summer: Cooling spray, paw balm, or dog-safe sunscreen
• Year-round: A towel for muddy paws or unexpected puddle splashes

✔️ 9. Matching Sets for Maximum Style

If you love a coordinated look (who doesn’t?), check out our Bundle Collection. Each set includes a matching harness, collar, lead, and poop bag holder — designed to keep your pup looking their best.

Final Thoughts

A well-prepared walk isn’t just safer and easier — it’s also more enjoyable for you and your dog. With the right gear, you can focus on the fun, the bonding, and those tail-wagging moments that make every step worth it.
