About

Do you love walking your dog!? ...but hate having to clean up after they go poop?  WAG is a simple and intuitive handheld leash system that is both a retractable leash and dog poop scoop. With one hand the dog owner can control their dog on the leash, while simultaneously picking up and bagging their dogs poop. Also, the user never needs to remember to bring spare bags, as it works with common disposable dog bags. 

 

​

The user operates the finger trigger to lower the aluminum scoop blade, then they scoop the poop, and it enters the bagging chamber where it is sealed and contained for the remainder of the walk. No more picking up poop with your hand and holding the bag for the remainder of the walk!  Once the walk is over, the bag of poop easily removed from the lower door and drops into the trash can.  Ultimately, WAG creates cleaner neighborhoods and gives dog owners confidence on the walk.

How might we design an improved way of carrying and disposing of dog waste while on a walk?
