My local dog walk route is a rural 1.5 mile loop. The doggy bins on the route are at the beginning of the walk...meaning that a majority of my walk includes me swinging a warm, smelly bag of dog poop. For many people it's not an issue. Some happily swing those bags. Others throw them into a hedge or don't even pick up after their dog at all. For me it was a 'bug bear' and soured the walk...even more so when I had to carry two or three bags!
But there was another solution on the market, the portable doggy bin. But I did not like any of them!
Some like the Dicky Bag were ugly, too expensive and simply replaced a swinging bag of poop with a swinging bin of poop. Others like the Barking Bags range seemed to try and incorporate every possible item a dog walker might need (except an odour proof doggy bin!) within an unsightly clunky, unbalanced bag laden with clips and buckles.
I wanted a bag that incorporated the best features of the above bags...but it had to be stylish and discrete too! Bring on the Spec!
