Stocking stuffers under $30
Waste Bag Pouch, $18
A clip-on poop bag holder in soft neoprene. Zip in a standard roll of bags, then pull them out one at a time from the opening on the other side. It clips to the ring on a walking belt, next to the leash.
Walking Belt, $25
An adjustable belt (29" to 53") worn around the waist or crossbody, with a ring for the leash. Pair it with our Hands-Free Dog Leash for a hands-free walk.
Horizontal Pouch, $29
A neoprene dog walking bag with a zipper, designed to fit large phones, keys and cards. It attaches to our walking belt with two Velcro straps.
Gifts under $60
Hands-Free Dog Leash, $37
One leash, three ways to walk: clipped to a walking belt at the waist, clipped to the belt crossbody, or handheld. Choose Thin (0.75") or Thick (1"), each with screw-lock metal clips.
Adjustable Dog Harness, $48 to $50
A double-layer harness with a soft neoprene outside, a breathable mesh lining, front and back D-rings and a grab handle. It comes in XS, S and M/L. Because harness sizing depends on the dog's neck and chest, this is the right gift when you can measure the dog, or ask its owner. Our harness size chart shows each size.
Leash & Belt Set, $55
The leash and walking belt together, in one matching color and width. It's for dogs that already have a harness, and it's the easiest way to give someone a hands-free walk.
The big gift: the Complete Hands-Free Dog Walking Set, $120
Everything for the walk in one matching color: the adjustable harness, the hands-free leash, the walking belt and the Waste Bag Pouch. Choose a Thin or Thick leash and belt, and the harness size: XS, S or M/L. The Horizontal Pouch is sold separately if they'll want to carry a phone.

How to choose a color
Our walking pieces come in Cherry Red, Espresso Brown, Oat Beige and Blueberry Blue. If you're unsure, think about what they wear most: Espresso Brown and Oat Beige are soft neutrals, Cherry Red is bold, and Blueberry Blue is a deep, versatile blue.
Not sure about the size? Give a gift card
A harness has to fit the dog's neck and chest measurements, which is hard to check secretly. A digital gift card ($25, $50, $75, $100 or $125) is delivered by email and lets them choose the size and color themselves. Accessories like the walking belt, leash and pouches don't depend on the dog's size.
