Dog Walking Essentials: 5 Must-Haves for Aussie Pet Parents

Every walk is an adventure — whether it’s a quick stroll around the block or a weekend hike. But to make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and under control, you’ll want the right gear by your side.

Here are the top dog walking essentials every Aussie pup parent should pack — featuring HAPPUP’s most-loved accessories.

1. 🔦 LED Collar or Harness for Visibility

Whether you're out at dawn or after sunset, visibility is key. An LED collar or harness ensures your dog is seen by cars, cyclists, and other pedestrians.

✨ HAPPUP’s LED gear is:

  • USB-rechargeable (no batteries needed)
  • Lightweight and breathable
  • Available in stylish pastel and fruity designs

Top Pick: HAPPUP LED Y-Shape Harness – Candy Skies

2. 🐕 No-Pull Harness for Better Control

If your dog pulls or lunges, a Y-shape no-pull harness offers better support and balance than a collar alone. It’s also more comfortable for dogs with delicate necks or breathing issues.

HAPPUP’s harnesses are:

  • Step-in style
  • Padded and fully adjustable
  • Equipped with LED safety buckle

3. 🦮 Multifunction Leash

Not all leashes are created equal! A multifunction leash gives you control in busy areas and freedom when needed.

🛒 HAPPUP Multifunction Leash includes:

  • Traffic control handle
  • Poop bag clip
  • Car seat safety buckle
  • Shock-absorbing stretch

Perfect for city streets, hikes, or trips to the vet.

4. 💩 Poop Bags & Holder

Always clean up after your pup! Clip-on poop bag holders make it easy to stay responsible without stuffing your pockets.

Pro tip: Keep a refill roll in your glovebox, handbag, or backpack — just in case!

5. 🍗 Training Treats

Use treats to reward calm leash walking, recall, and good behaviour around distractions. Soft, bite-sized treats work best on walks.

You can even attach a small treat pouch to your HAPPUP leash for easy access.
