6 Must Haves For Your Walk or Run With Your Dog

1) Shoes: It is important to get the right pair for walking or running shoes. A good shoe that is gentle to your feet throughout your walks or runs. Road Runner Sports, World’s largest running and walking store, offers walkers and runners the ability to find perfect shoes. They’ve designed a running analysis center called Shoe Dog. Shoe Dog is available in all Road Runner Sports store. Click Here to read our previous post: My Shoe Dog Adventure – Finding The Right Fit and Shoe.

2) Leash: The right length and kind of leash can make your walking or running more enjoyable. I use a multi-functional leather leash, wherein I have the ability to walk or run hands free. I can sling it over my shoulder and or wear it around my waist. Road Runner Sports carries a similar product called The Buddy System Belt and Leash.

3) Activity Tracker: Measure your steps and distance by using an activity tracker. Using a tracker serves a motivation. I have a FitBit and Sugar uses a dog activity monitor called StarWalk. StarWalk measures Sugar’s steps, mileage, burned calories and most importantly temperature. Click Here to read our StarWalk review post.

4) App for Walk/Run For Animals: Use ResQwalk app and you can help a rescue/shelter organization. We are active users of ResQwalk. Click Here to read our previous post and learn how to use ResQwalk.

5) Poop Bags & Holder: Be a responsible dog owner. Remember “There’s No Poop Fairy.” Carry poop bags and pick-up after your dog, Have The Fifth Paw Carry Your Dog’s Doody. Scoop That Poop!

6) Outfit: It is essential you dress accordingly when walking or running with your dog. Do you agree looking cute and fashionable can influence your walking or running behavior?
