An Australian company, Doog, has come up with a way to make dog-walking easier and cleaner - the walkie belt. The belt is designed so that you can be 'hands free' when taking your dog for a walk.
The belt lets you keep everything in one place and encourages environmentally responsible dog ownership. Its many pockets house everything from biodegradable poo bags to sanitary wipes and an iPod clip. It also features a caribena for attaching a lead so you can have a truly hands-free experience.
Available in a range of colours, the Doog walkie belt is adjustable and easily slips over clothing.
