Walking with your dog: the ultimate guide to safe, comfortable and unforgettable walks
Walking isn't just a "pee outing." It's your dog's sport, school, and freedom. With the right gear, every walk becomes safer, smoother... and happier. At MyDoggy-Shop , we select accessories designed for comfort , safety , and style .
1) Why walking is essential
- Physical exercise: channels energy and prevents boredom.
- Mental stimulation: smells, discoveries, novelty.
- Socialization: humans, dogs, environment.
- Master-dog bond: complicity, trust, obedience.
2) The essentials for a successful walk
The dog harness: the basis for a controlled walk
An ergonomic dog harness distributes pressure and protects the chest. The result: less pulling, more control.
LuxHarnais dog harness – Safe walking harness : breathable, adjustable, easy to put on.
The dog leash adapted to your environment
- City: Keep your dog close to you with the Dog Leash - Anti-Trap Leash .
- Nature & Education: Offer more freedom with our training leashes .
Easy hydration
Essential in spring/summer (and useful all year round). Bring a dog water bottle .
3) Safety & comfort: your best allies
Night visibility
At dusk, be seen. The NoctiTrace LED Dog Collar improves visibility and location. Simple, discreet, and reassuring.
Protection against rain and cold
Keep going outside without shivering: discover our waterproof and warm dog coats (breathable, several sizes and colors).
Mobility & well-being
For older or convalescent dogs, our mobility solutions in the I Want to Go Out Too collection (including trolleys, wheelchairs, carriers and strollers) restore the desire (and the ability) to walk.
4) Prepare well before leaving
