The Complete Dog Walking Gear Checklist (For Pups Who Deserve the Best)

Some pups bounce at the sound of the leash clip. Others need a little coaxing. But no matter your dog’s walk style, one thing’s true across the board: the gear you choose matters.

Whether you’re heading out for a quick loop around the block or an all-day city stroll, the right equipment can mean the difference between chaos and calm, stress and swagger.

This checklist covers everything your pup needs for the safest, most stylish walk—designed to work beautifully together, straight from the Dogistry collection.

✅ 1. A No-Pull Harness That Fits Like a Dream

The foundation of a good walk is a harness that’s as comfortable as it is secure. A poorly fitted harness can cause chafing, pulling, and even escape attempts—not exactly the vibes we’re going for.

What to look for:

  • Front and back D-ring clips for flexibility

  • Escape-resistant design with adjustable straps

  • Soft, breathable materials

  • Easy step-in style

Explore no-pull harnesses designed for both performance and aesthetics. Your pup will thank you.

✅ 2. A Leash That Feels as Good as It Looks

Retractable leashes? Not city-approved. The perfect leash should give you control, comfort, and confidence—even if your dog spots a squirrel at 20 paces.

Ideal leash features:

  • 4–6 ft length

  • Soft, no-burn grip

  • Durable clasp hardware

  • Tangle-resistant fabric

🎯 Check out leashes that pair perfectly with your Dogistry harness—built to last, styled to match.

✅ 3. A Poop Bag Holder That’s Actually Stylish

There’s nothing worse than digging around in your pocket while your dog does their business on a busy sidewalk. A chic, clip-on poop bag holder saves time and adds polish to your gear.

Choose one that:

  • Clips securely to your leash or harness

  • Has an easy-tear bag dispenser

  • Matches your overall set

💼 Complete your look with poop bag holders that are lightweight, modern, and ready for quick cleanups.


✅ 4. A Coordinated Matching Set

Matching gear isn’t just an Instagram flex—it makes walk prep easier and adds consistency to your dog’s routine. When every piece works together, your dog learns what to expect (and you get tons of compliments).

Benefits of matching sets:

  • Everything fits and feels consistent

  • Your dog gets used to one cohesive routine

  • You get instant style points

✅ 5. ID Tag and AirTag Pocket (Just in Case)

You never plan to lose your pup—but having ID on your dog at all times is a must. Even better? Choose a harness that includes a secure AirTag pocket for extra peace of mind.

Dogistry’s bestselling harnesses (like the NoMad collection) feature a hidden AirTag slot—perfect for those “just in case” moments.


✅ 6. Optional But Amazing: Hands-Free Features

Dogistry’s adjustable leash designs can be clipped around your waist or worn crossbody, leaving your hands free for coffee, training, or snapping photos of your very photogenic dog.

If your dog’s a puller, pair this feature with a front-clip harness to stay in control—even with one hand.
