Make your evening routine seamless and stress-free with this handy, quick-reference checklist. Spend less time preparing and more time enjoying the cool nighttime air with your dog.
Before You Open the Door:
- [ ] Check the Collar Battery: Switch on your glowing collar to ensure it has a full, bright charge. (Our USB-rechargeable batteries run up to 10-12 hours per charge!)
- [ ] Inspect the Leash & Harness: Make sure metal d-rings, buckles, and stitching are secure and free of fraying.
- [ ] Grab Poop Bags: Double-check that your bag dispenser is full (it is much harder to search for a dropped bag or clean up in the dark!).
- [ ] Pack Treats: Keep training rewards handy to reinforce good walking behavior, recall, and focus in distracting environments.
- [ ] Check Your Own Apparel: Wear light-colored clothing or throw on a reflective sash to make sure drivers spot you too.
- [ ] Bring Your Phone: Ensure your phone has plenty of battery for emergencies, tracking your walk, or using the built-in flashlight.
During Your Walk:
- Stay alert—avoid scrolling on your phone or wearing headphones that completely block out ambient road noise.
- Give cyclists and joggers plenty of space on sidewalks.
- Keep your dog on a short leash when passing driveways or blind alleyways where cars might back out unexpectedly.
