Wilderdog Poop Bag Holder

The verdict

The small object that stops a walk beginning with a search for bags. Wilderdog's listing describes a holder that clips directly onto the leash, takes one full roll, and dispenses through a purpose-built, rubber-reinforced hole one bag at a time — which is the detail that separates a bag holder from a pouch you have to open with one hand while holding a lead in the other. It is polyester, listed as heavy duty and waterproof, in a single dark green colourway. Two limits come from owners rather than from the brand: it fits the standard roll and not the jumbo refills, and reloading is fiddlier than it looks. The evidence base is also thin by the standards of this catalog — 169 ratings at 4.4 — so read it as a well-made accessory rather than a heavily proven one. Baxter & Bella's trainers keep it on their puppy-products list. At nine dollars it is the cheapest thing in a potty-training kit and probably the piece you still own in ten years.

Drawbacks

• Takes the standard roll only — not the jumbo refills
• 169 ratings is a thin evidence base next to the rest of this shelf
