PITTSBURGH — November 13, 2026 -- One Colorado inventor wants to end the routine of unclipping a dog leash and looping it through a shopping cart. The Shop & Walk Dog Leash is a design from an inventor in Grand Junction, Colorado, submitted through the invention-service firm InventHelp. It is not on sale.
The idea is a compact leash whose held end attaches directly to a shopping cart, wheelchair, baby stroller or flat cart. According to the inventor, that removes the need to take the leash off the dog and thread it through the cart. InventHelp describes the design as simple and durable.
The leash is a licensing offer, not a product you can buy
- Status: the design has been submitted to InventHelp's national sales office.
- Offer: it is available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
- Prototype: available on request.
In practice, no store or online listing exists. You would only see the leash if a manufacturer or marketer picks it up. InventHelp, which says it has helped inventors submit ideas to industry since 1984, states only that it attempts to connect inventions with interested companies.
The release gives no price, manufacturer or launch date.
Companies interested in licensing can request the prototype through InventHelp under Dept. 25-SBT-2292.
