GoGo Stik® makes several no-touch cleanup tools, and if you’re staring at the lineup wondering which one is actually right for your dog and your yard, this guide settles it. We’ll compare the three most popular options head to head — the XP Pro, the Catch-N-Go™, and the EZ Dootie Rake — so you can order the right one the first time instead of guessing.
All three share the same core promise: only the bag touches the waste, never your hands and never the tool. Where they differ is how and where you clean up — standing in the yard, catching on a walk, or raking across rough ground. Let’s break it down.
Now here’s the detail behind each pick.
The XP Pro is the flagship. It’s a 37-inch aluminum-handled scooper that holds a heavy-duty bag open as the scooping surface. You walk up to the pile, scoop it into the bag while standing fully upright, tie the handles, and drop it in the bin. The tool never touches anything, so there’s nothing to hose off afterward.
What makes it the default choice is versatility. It handles a Great Dane’s mess as easily as a terrier’s, works on grass, concrete, and patios, and the long handle means zero bending — a real difference-maker if you have back, hip, or knee issues. This is the design that earned GoGo Stik its reputation as the most ergonomic pooper scooper, and it’s our top pick in the roundup of the best pooper scoopers for large dogs.
Best for: everyday yard cleanup, large or multiple dogs, and anyone who wants one tool that does it all.
The Catch-N-Go flips the whole chore around. Instead of picking waste up off the ground, you slide the catcher under your dog while they squat — the waste drops straight into a handle-tie bag and never touches the grass, the sidewalk, or your lawn at all.
That makes it the clear winner for two situations: leash walks, where you want to be in and out with zero fuss, and soft or loose stools, which no scoop-off-the-ground tool handles gracefully. It’s also a favorite for owners keeping a close eye on a dog recovering from illness or surgery, because you’re right there at the moment. There’s about a one-week learning curve while you get a feel for your dog’s timing, but once it clicks, it’s the cleanest possible result.
Best for: daily walkers, soft-stool situations, rainy days, and anyone who never wants waste sitting on their lawn.
The EZ Dootie Rake is a hybrid rake-spade attachment, and it solves one specific problem: cleanup on surfaces where a plain scoop struggles. Gravel, mulch beds, wood chips, and long or thick grass all hide and grip waste in ways that make a simple scoop frustrating. The rake teeth pull the pile onto the bagged scooper in one motion without dragging waste through your landscaping.
It’s an affordable add-on rather than a standalone system — most owners pair it with an XP Pro so they have the scoop for open ground and the rake for the rough stuff. If you’re weighing the rake against a flat spade, our rake vs spade comparison walks through which suits your specific yard.
Best for: gravel yards, mulch and garden beds, and long-grass lawns.
It’s worth saying why any of these beats a hardware-store jaw or tray scooper. Every GoGo Stik uses the same no-touch principle: the disposable bag is the surface that contacts the waste, and the bag leaves with the waste. That means no residue on the tool, no smell clinging to it, and no hosing it down after every use — the maintenance headache that makes people hate their old scoopers simply doesn’t exist here. All three also let you stand upright instead of crouching, and all three are backed by the same 5-year warranty. So the choice below isn’t about quality — it’s purely about matching the tool to how and where you clean up.

If your honest answer is “I want the scoop and the rake,” you’re not alone — it’s the most common setup for yard owners. Buying them together in a GoGo Stik bundle costs less than buying separately, and you’ll have the right tool for open ground and rough ground both.
The XP Pro picks waste up off the ground while you stand upright — ideal for yard cleanup. The Catch-N-Go catches waste as your dog goes, so nothing ever touches the ground — ideal for walks and soft stools.
Only if your ground is gravel, mulch, or long grass. On open lawn or concrete, the XP Pro alone is plenty.
The XP Pro, paired with very-large Heavy Dootie bags. It has the capacity and the upright posture that big-dog cleanup demands.
Pick the XP Pro for the yard, the Catch-N-Go for walks, and add the EZ Rake for rough ground — or grab a bundle and cover all three. Whichever you choose, you get the same no-touch, no-bend cleanup that made GoGo Stik a fan favorite.

XP Pro, Catch-N-Go or EZ Dootie Rake: which GoGo Stik scooper fits your dog and yard? A side-by-side comparison.
A dirty scooper is a health hazard hiding in plain sight: dog waste carries E. coli, salmonella, giardia, roundworm eggs, and — in unvaccinated areas — parvovirus, which can survive on surfaces for months. The good news: once you know how to clean a pooper scooper properly, the daily version
