One of our focuses here at LWAG is to provide detailed reviews of great dog friendly beaches and trails. These reviews have been a bit slow in the making due to the fact that we actually go to each place and spend some time. We not only want to tell you where these dog friendly […]
Some of you may have noticed from pictures in previous posts that I do not use a traditional dog leash. Instead I prefer to use a Multifunctional Leash often used by professional trainers, K9 handlers, and military working dogs. I purchased this leash when I was training Chuck Billy to do nose work.

Next up in this review series is 5.11’s Covert Cargo Pants. Again, with each pair I consider the following: 1. Durability 2. Comfort 3. Pocket functionality (how many and how useful) Pros – Durability is normal. LL Bean’s canvas pants are definitely more durable, however, I have had a pair of these 5.11 pants for over […]
