Help me with name suggestions?

For those who like to run with their dogs at heel on a leash belt, sometimes the perfect length leash for running is too short for p*e breaks. I use a 24" add-on that I'm calling a "sniff & p*e" leash extension... Stupid name or OK? Suggestions?

Dog Walking Tips from from my previous clients Rosie & Newman

Rosie: refuse to put on your harness & hold out until you get those treats!
