For most of my life, I had country dogs—the kind who roamed leash-free, did their business in the yard, and left me to clean it up with a pooper scooper.

When I moved to the suburbs, I learned (in a most embarrassing way) that things were different here. I once assumed a neighbor stopping by with her dog was bringing me a gift. After chatting for a while, I finally asked, “What’s in the bag?” Let’s just say…it wasn’t a gift. Lesson #1 learned: in suburbia, you carry your dog’s poop.

After losing our beloved boxer, we welcomed a high-energy Border Collie who needed daily leash walks. Suddenly, I was one of “those” neighbors—parading plastic bags of poop through sidewalks, parks, and forest preserves. When a second Border Collie joined the family, I discovered a new challenge: keeping track of everything I needed for our walks—two leashes, bags of waste, keys, treats, water, training tools, and my EpiPen (which I once forgot…never again).

My go-to solution? Overstuffing my pockets until I looked like a Thanksgiving turkey, then juggling bags of waste on the way home. That is, until the day.

Both dogs were behaving beautifully—until they weren’t. One lunged forward, the other back, tangling their leashes around the bags of waste I was carrying. The bags tore, and—yes—poop went everywhere. My hands, my clothes, the dogs, the leashes…you get the picture.

That. Was. It.

I scoured stores and the internet for a solution—something compact, lightweight, easy to clean, practical, attractive, and affordable. Nothing came close. So, I designed my own.

As a lifelong interior decorator and seamstress, I knew exactly what I wanted:

• A bag that attaches to the leash so I didn’t have to carry it.

• Room for all my essentials (and the dogs’).

• A quick-access waste compartment—no fumbling with buckles.

• Durable, easy-clean materials.

After many iterations, the patented Dog-Go Bag was born. It’s perfect for neighborhood strolls, park walks, or wooded hikes. Wherever your dog goes—and goes—Dog-Go Bag is the must-have accessory.
