Aside from featuring a [retractable lead](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rope-leash), the Smart Dog Leash has a [pop-up water bowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refresh-mist), LCD clock, LED flashlight, a small compartment for treats and even a spot to hold baggies for when the little friend does their business. Everything is held neatly inside a stylish frame that is sturdy and ready to withstand even the most vigorous of neighbourhood walks.
