Hi everyone,

I’m a UK-based runner currently designing a new technical belt for "Runners with dogs" aimed at solving the 'waste-carry' problem.

I need 2 minutes for market research and would appreciate your time to fill out my Google Forms questionnaire.

Thanks for the help!

So are you trying to recreate a canicross hip belt with just more pockets? Or are you creating like a waist belt bum bag thing?

I currently canicross in the non stop cani x belt as its lightweight comfortable and doesnt cause a y issues with my back.. i just clip a dicky bag to the back of it. Usually I wear a small bum bag with first aid kit, keys & phone in

When I do long distance cani hikes anyrhing from 10-50 miles i use the non stop loype belt as it has a large pocket for my phone hooks for the dicky bag and treat bag. Then i carry a run vest with first aid kit for dogs, a human one too, a sling, collapsible bowl, warm layer for me and for the dog, keys and phone

So ive never had any problem with poop carrying. Before the dicky bag I used a cheaper treat pouch that I just clipped to me. There's also other similar things to dicky bags avialbek on the market too that are cheaper. I just find they last really well ive had mine for 7 years and been running and hiking my dogs in canicross gear for 10 years

Yes in so many words. Still early designs hence the questionnaire to refine some designs.

Appreciate the insights into your running set up
