Leo’s canine pack served as a storage bag and journey pack. After we would go on a protracted hike that required Leo to hold some gear, we’d put the canine pack on him. When it wasn’t in use, it was an awesome storage pack for his toys and different important canine tenting gear. For the reason that Journey Canine Pack we had is now not out there, the Ruffwear Method Pack is an effective various.

One fascinating this we’ve discovered is that each time we put this pack on a canine, they appear to enter “work mode”. There’s one thing about having a pack on with just a little weight in it to make the canine really feel like their doing one thing and it appears to settle them down in the event that they occur to be carried away.
