San Clemente, California, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A simple idea from a mom and her young son has reshaped the world of dog walking. StitchLeash, the first modular Clip & Go™ lifestyle leash system, has been named the 2025 Pet Innovation Award Winner for Leash Innovation of the Year, recognizing its groundbreaking design that transforms everyday walks into effortless, organized, and connected experiences.

Co-invented by founder Jenni Morse and her then-five-year-old son Cooper, StitchLeash was born from one chaotic walk juggling keys, treats, and waste bags. The result is the first truly customizable lifestyle walk system designed for today’s run-and-go world. StitchLeash simplifies life for busy pet parents, making walks smoother, cleaner, and more enjoyable for every kind of dog and dog parent.
