Lollipup Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Can anyone please recommend a good practical treat pouch for training and include where I can buy from online? I have a Black Dog brand one and its really annoying me, the snap shut top is stiff and hard to open and then snaps shut with the slightest touch, quite forcefully. Its very distracting. Thanks in advance for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 $4 bait belt from the fishing section of Big W. Hose it out or put it in the dishwasher when you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedazzledx2 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I use a bum bag from a cheapo shop and sling it round to my back and leave the zip open so its easy to dive my hand in. For most training I try to use a vest with pockets but that's a bit hard in the height of summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put a butter/margarine container inside the bum bag it holds it open much better and is easier to clean I'm after a vest for summer and plan on checking out outdoor stores and fishing shops when I get time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exchange rate you could probably buy 10 for AUD$1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraNik Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I use a rock climbing chalk bag attached to my belt loop with a carabiner (treats inside a zip lock bag). Can't say that it was a very cheap option though, but I love to carry STACKS of treats and it's easy access for my large hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy82 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I find that bum bags are more popular at my local agility club than especially made treat pouches. I got a treat pouch off ebay but ended up switcing to a doog bum bag from pet barn. It cost me $35, but it's really good, it has two pockets at the front, one of them has a zip (I use that one for treats) it also has one small pocket on each side, which are especially for the anti septic wipes and poo bags that come with it, but can be used for anything, and it also has a snap hook on one side which I use for the clicker (I think it's intended for a lead), and it has a different type of attachment thing on the other side which I use for the other clicker for the other dog (it's supposed to be for your phone, but I'm not sure how they intended it to work).

charley101 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Have you tried putting vaseline on the hinges of the black dog pouch ?? mine went a bit like that but is fine now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Have you tried putting vaseline on the hinges of the black dog pouch ?? mine went a bit like that but is fine now :D I have one of these black dog pouches & even after putting vaseline on the hinges, it still snaps shut on my fingers Doesn't actually hurt but is very off putting & now my dog knows in advance that I am getting the treat ready as she can feel my whole body tensing against the "snap" I prefer to use the pocket of my trousers but then they get a bit smelly.

The hinges on the blackdog pouches do need oiling occasionally, sewing machine oil (1 drop) or olive oil is probably better than vaseline. If you are having other problems then just give them a call or email them, they do replacement hinges and I'm absolutely positive they would be happy to work out something if you are unhappy with their product. :D If they don't know they can't help you.

Staff'n'Toller Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Oh and if you're like me, and thinking of putting one or two tennis balls into the regular sized pouch and closing the hinge, I discourage it...no good will come of that.

bedazzledx2 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks Aidan Some of these are seriously scary!!!! There are a couple of women's vests that I think I'll try (but only for dog training I think! ) Do you have a link Aiden?

If they don't know they can't help you. Though be warned, they aren't always polite about it. I sent in a complaint about my hinges that just are not up to standard even though I oil them, and also tried vaseline. And though I did get replacement hinges, the man emailing me was incredibly rude. I asked what would make these hinges better than the last lot? Was there anything I can do? His reply was something like "if they don't work, don't think you're going to get more freebies!". I did not email him asking for "Freebies", I just wanted to know why my hinges kept bending. I won't be dealing with them again after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
