The Original Dog Walking Bag - Practical, Weatherproof Carryall

In this review of the Original Dog Walking Bag the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, hard-wearing carryall built for people who actually walk and train dogs. The reviewer found it especially useful for trainers, regular dog walkers and puppy owners who need quick access to treats and waste bags while keeping phones, keys and extras dry. The single biggest reason to buy is its thoughtful layout and durable, water-resistant construction that keeps essentials organised and protected on every outing.

Key Features

• Dedicated compartments: A readily accessible treats section and a large interior compartment keep training rewards and personal items separate and easy to reach during walks.
• Poo bag dispenser and sanitiser pocket: Built-in waste bag access and a pocket for hand sanitiser make quick cleanups and hygiene straightforward on the go.
• Expandable storage: The expandable drawstring pocket accepts bulkier items like soggy toys or a collapsible bowl without compromising other pockets.
• Adjustable carry options: An extendable 130 cm strap lets you wear the bag as a waist pack or over the shoulder for flexible comfort.
• Water-resistant construction: Hard-wearing fabric with a waterproof lining protects contents from light rain and muddy park conditions.
• Attachment points: Heavy-duty D-rings and carabiner clips provide places to attach extras like a treat and train remote or a water bottle.

Who It's For

This bag suits dog walkers, professional trainers and owners who need a reliable, organised solution for treats, poop bags and personal items when out with dogs. Its roomy interior and multiple pockets are particularly useful for people who combine walking with basic training, reward-based work or longer hikes where keeping items dry matters.

Those who prioritise a fashion accessory over function or need a highly compact single-pocket treat pouch for minimal equipment might prefer a different, smaller option. Also, if a very technical backpack with frame support is needed for long hiking treks, this is primarily a walking and training pouch rather than a full expedition pack.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well thought out pocket layout keeps treats, phone, keys and sanitiser organised and accessible.
• Durable, water-resistant fabric with a waterproof lining protects contents in wet weather.
• Adjustable 130 cm strap and multiple carry modes make it comfortable for varied users and activities.
• Roomy interior and expandable pocket handle bulkier items like balls or soggy toys.

Cons

• Some customers feel the appearance can look cheap, so it prioritises utility over high-end style.
• Not a replacement for a large hiking backpack for extended multi-day trips.
