From a boring dog walk to a route you actually look forward to

Not every dog walk needs to be a three hour adventure. Sometimes it is simply the same route around the block on a Tuesday evening. A few small changes can make even that familiar walk feel more enjoyable again.

Make room for sniffing

A walk is not only about distance. Give your dog time to explore the surroundings. It immediately takes some of the rush out of your regular route.

Walk your usual route in reverse

A familiar route can feel surprisingly different when you walk it in the opposite direction. Small change, zero planning.

Try another street or park

You do not need to travel far for something new. Another neighbourhood, green area or quiet park can already offer different smells and impressions.

Think in time instead of kilometres

A relaxed walk with more sniffing time can be more enjoyable than covering a long distance as quickly as possible.

Make your walking gear part of the convenience

A leash that feels good to use, a harness that fits well and poop bags you do not have to search for remove small annoyances from the walk.

A little more colour is welcome too

Practical gear does not have to look as if you are heading on an expedition. That idea is exactly where UNBORINGBYPIP started. Comfortable and practical, without the boring pet shop look.

More colour, less hassle. Explore the walking gear that makes the everyday round something you actually look forward to.
