Dog leash storage ideas
If your dog’s leashes and collars lie everywhere, it’s time to think about a special walking station. It’s best to put it close to the exit.
If you hang a shelf or locker, you can store other things you might need outdoors, such as poop bags, travel water bowls, bug spray, etc. You can also leave a clicker or other training equipment here, as well as outdoor toys and some of the treats you use at training sessions.
Here are some ideas for making a dog walking or leash station:
- 🌟At a minimum, you can hang hooks for collars and leashes.

- 🌟 Allocate a separate compartment in your shoe closet for the dog’s shoes. Here you can also store various rags or towels for cleaning dirty paws.
- 🌟 If you have a bench in the entryway, you can put these supplies in a box and put the box under the bench.
Organizing dog toys
Once you’ve dealt with storing things for walks, it’s time to think about how to store toys. My advice is not to give your pet all the toys at once. It’s better to keep a couple of toys for daily use and change them periodically to keep your dog interested.
You should also have some special toys for training and the crate.
- 📌 You can put toys for everyday use in a basket. It can be any crate or basket that fits the interior of your house.
No products found.
- 📌 Put the rest of the toys in a closet or arrange them nicely on hanging shelves.
- 📌You can use a storage ottoman to save space.

- 📌 You can also create a DIY storage box for dog toys, although you’ll have to fuss over it.
Having all the dog stuff in a separate doggie room is great. I recommend checking out the doggie room ideas on my website.
Dog food organization ideas
Finally, we got to the kitchen. Here we need to set up a comfortable food station. I opted for a ready-made food station with retractable food bowls:

When we had a regular food bowl, my Frank constantly moved it all over the kitchen and made a mess on the floor. But these retractable bowls solve that problem.
And there’s a big compartment for food storage right above the bowls. And you can store training treats on the shelf above.
If you don’t have room for such a large food station, consider other options for placing dog bowls that will help keep things organized:
Here are some more ideas on how to organize dog food:
- ✅ To store different treats, you need to pick nice jars. You should mark treats if you are not storing them in a transparent container.

Dog grooming storage ideas
Finally, we need to find a place to store dog grooming supplies such as combs, shampoos, nail clippers, ear cleaners, paw wipes, etc.
Where can you store dog grooming supplies?
- ✅ I think most people store these things in the bathroom, but you can also use the pantry:
- ✅ Put all the stuff in a storage basket. It’s more convenient than just stacking things on a shelf because you can carry the basket around the house. What if you need to do grooming in another room?
- ✅ Using a cart like this from Ikea is convenient, but it will definitely take up space.
- ✅ Get a dog supplies organizer bag. You’ll have all your stuff at your fingertips when needed. You can take it with you on a trip if needed.
