PetSafe Dog Treat Pouch Sport, Black, Standard, 7.5 in L x 6.5 in H | Water & Stain-Resistant Training Pouch with Divided Treat Pocket, Belt Clip & Carabiner for Keys or Bags, Machine Washable

Great size, easy to use. I love all the pockets and areas I can stuff things in when I'm out and about with my dog. The hinges to keep the main pocket open or closed are amazing - it works flawlessly. I've use the snot out of this thing for a few months now before reviewing so I could be honest about it's performance. It holds a ton of treats. Really, a ton. My hands have been compared to gorilla hands, and I don't have issues with them not fitting in this pouch. No bumping, no scratching, nothing. I've not had issues with treats getting stuck down in the bottom, but I keep mine in ziplock bags - it's easier to swap out for the different treats I use for different dogs, and trust me you do NOT want dehydrated salmon crumbs sitting in this thing for a long amount of time - especially if you happen to leave it in your car during lunch break when it's 100 degrees in the shade. It's not pleasant, trust me. Ziplocks are your friend :) I've used a lot of other tpyes of pouches, and I really like this one best. The elastic lops on the front are great for holding things, but I use mine to hang things off. I have a potty bag holder, a silicone water bowl and a clicker hanging on mine currently. The front pocket that velcros shut is what I call my "training purse" area. I keep my drivers license, credit card and cell phone in it and when I'm out training public access I don't have to worry about carrying a full sized purse along with me. Convenience is key :)

TLDR: I highly recommend this product to new pet parents as a first treat pouch because it is one of the most comfortable pouches to wear regularly which means it will be easier to break into a training session or reward good behavior at a moments notice If you want something even more low profile go for the mini version of the pouch, smaller and cheaper, same great pouch I first used this brand of treat pouch at a service dog org I interned at several years ago and since then it has been one of my favorites, I have purchased several both for myself and friends/family who get dogs. Things I love about it: -Low profile, many other treat bags are bulky and just begging to be overfilled. This is very important, because it means that it is more comfortable to wear more often, so you will be more likely to have treats on you when your dog or puppy does something treat worthy. -Strong hinge that stays open but is easy to close whenever wandering noses sniff out treats A pouch that stays open is important to me because it speeds up rewards when my pup is on a roll -Small separation for jackpot treats ( I think this is a better idea than execution, but I still consider it a pro) Cons, or reasons this pouch may not be for you: -It can be a bit of a pain to clean if you use treats with higher moisture, for instance I use a lot of deli meat and hot dogs. I'll plan on switching to a silicone pouch for these treats and using this pouch for freeze dried treats and other pre made treats and kibble -Sometimes treats and bits of treats get caught in the fabric lining, compounding the first con -It can be difficult to open the hinge if you have mobility issues or if it's clipped to a pocket instead of secured to the included belt I really like that this pouch doesn't try to be everything to everyone, If you want one treat pouch to do it all, carry treats, toys, wet treats, dry treats, poop bags, and more, then look elsewhere. This is purpose built, and can work very well in conjunction with other products that can fill other needs. If I go out for a training session that will use a variety of treats and toys this would not be the only treat bag a bring, but it would certainly be one of them.

I bought the mini pouch about 7 months ago and have used it 2-5 x/day for training a young Rottie. Have had no issues with the quality/function of the spring hinge. It’s the perfect size for puppy or beginning adult dog training when sessions are short, and you don’t need to carry a lot of treats. I did have to tweak it a bit though. First, if you’re doing leash training, you’ll typically have the bulk of the lead in your right hand with left hand free to reward behavior. Because the hinge is so strong, there’s no way to open the pouch with 1 hand if the pouch accidentally snaps shut during a session (and it will). I resolved this by placing a small, thick, strong magnet on the corner hinge inside so it can’t close so tightly. Now there’s enough of a gap so I can slide a couple fingers from 1 hand in to open it back up. Second, inside the pouch there’s a center flap that makes a nice divider between the routine rewards like kibble and the high value treats like chicken or hot dog slices for when your dog does something really special. But, because the flap has a Velcro strip on it which grabs on to one side of the inner pouch, it automatically seals one side of treats open and the other side closed. Again, it’s impossible to open the flap quickly to get to a different value treat using only 1 free hand. I resolved this issue by taking a small, 1 sided piece of Velcro and attaching it to the flap’s Velcro tab. Now it can’t grab the side of the inner pouch and seal itself. I can flip the center divider back and forth with a finger, at will, depending on which value treat I want to offer. I just bought the standard sized pouch because my 110 lb. Rottie, while still young, is ready for longer training sessions; I need to carry more treats than would fit in the mini pouch. My only complaint with this new standard pouch is that the center divider flap only comes halfway up which makes no sense to me. If you fill each side with different value treats, the flap is too low to keep them separated from each other. I’ll need to figure out a tweak for this. Both pouches are washable, but I handwash and hang to dry quickly to keep the hinge from rusting. You could just dump kibble on one side and a handful of perishable treats on the other and it won’t leak, but then you’ll have to store the pouch in the fridge to prevent bacterial growth between sessions. I use a snack bag in the mini and a sandwich sized bag in the standard for messy treats. At the end of each session I pull the bag, seal it, and throw it in the freezer until next time. Cuts down on washing. Both pouches come with a really well-made belt and clip. I haven’t used the clip, but the belt is so smooth that with your free hand, you can easily slide the pouch from your left hip to your center back. In this position, even with the pouch propped open, I’ve never had anything fall out if I needed to bend down to tie a shoe lace, point out a treat that fell to the ground, or sit down to take a break. Neither pouch is suited for carrying with you your phone, keys, poop bags etc. There’s just enough room for treats. I dug out an old fanny pack retired years ago due to vanity issues and cut the belt off. I attached small portions of the belt to make loops on the back of the fanny pack and slid it onto the generous belt that comes with the pouches. Voila! Now, if we’re doing trails, I can carry supplies on my right hip and treats in a pouch on my left (and it doesn’t present as a fanny pouch anymore!). If we’re not doing trails, it slides off until needed again. I highly recommend either/both pouches. The tweaks didn’t take much time. I doubt there’s a pouch out there that will be perfect in every way. These pouches come close. Today is 11/11/21. FYI, I bought this treat pouch back in July 2020. Have been training with it every day, a minimum 1x/day since then and the hinge is still going strong.

This is a great little treat bag - I bought it in blue, and I have used it all summer and have been very happy with it. It is well constructed with a large main pocket that pops open and stays open so that you can reach in and grab a treat easily with one hand. The springs seem sturdy, and it closes very securely so that your treats will not fall out. The main pocket also is divided into 2 - it has a smaller compartment inside that you can secure with a velcro strip, so you could potentially carry 2 different types of treats and keep them separated. I haven't used the smaller pocket, but some of my small treats from the larger pocket have wound up in the smaller portion, so it is not an airtight seal - you may have some treats mixed up in there over time. There is a small outside pocket that I can stuff my cell phone and keys into, but it is not very big so there are times that I have too much in there to actually close the outside pocket with the 2 velcro fasteners. So I do have to be careful not to let anything in the outside pocket fall out. But I think this is a good trade-off for the bag not being too bulky. There is a carabiner clip on the side, which I use to hold my clicker for training. Since the clicker makes an annoying sound when it is not in use and just hanging there, I got into the habit of tucking the clicker into the small elastic band in the front of the pouch, which seems to work well, although this band does seem like it will stretch out more over time. I always use the full waist strap to wear the pouch, so I have not used the belt clip, but it seems pretty sturdy and well-attached. The strap to go around your waist is fully adjustable and will fit many different size waists. You can remove the strap by unhooking it and sliding it through the two belt loops on the back, so that you can use it with just the belt clip. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, and I would buy another one.

Hands down one of the best pouches for training! It's comfortable and can fit quite a bit of food and the separation is a neat feature! I love the feel of it as I train dogs this is a must if you want to be a dog trainer.

We have two large dogs and go through a lot of treats. I work from home and have one on me every waking hour. We ended up buying three different treat bags from Amazon. Here is one consumer’s assessment: EZY Treat ($26.99): main compartment with hinge, but this broke and the pouch had to be replaced (the seller was great on the return, but they did not have my color in stock, so still waiting on it). Five other pockets as well. The zippered one in front could and should be bigger (there is plenty of pouch real estate on the front). My cell phone will not even fit. I am yet to find a use for the three pockets on the belt, due to their small size. I tried twice to have these be used for poop bags, but not worth the hassle. The “hidden pocket” is way on the small side (won’t fit my cell or wallet). In summary, one big pocket which has known issues with the hinge, and five smaller ones which are way small (cell phones and key chains are not as small as they used to be, I guess). The product does have a padded belt, but it makes the pouch come across as “bulky”. (Suggest to lose the insignia on the pouch.) Guardian Gear ($16.27): main compartment with hinge has shown no issues, compared to EZY Treat. There is a small velcro pocket on the front which looks like it want to hold a cell phone, but from personal experience, it is a good way to lose one (when you bend over, things fall out as the pocket is small and the velcro doesn’t catch for anything bigger than tiny). Please see the picture on the web site. It shows a cell phone in the front pocket with the velcro not catching (nice advertisement of a design flaw). The zippered pocket on the back of the pouch wants to be used, but for what? Too small for a cell phone, wallet, or keys. There is unused pouch real estate on both the front and back, so this could be a much better product with bigger pockets on both sides. (Nice job to keep an insignia off the product.) Petsafe ($10.16): I purchased this one last, as it was the lowest price, and was not expecting much, but wanted to try it as it advertised a bigger second pocket. The second pocket in front of the hinged one is large enough (and with velcro closure) to carry my cell phone, small wallet, keys, gum, sharpie, etc. I don’t quite get the third pocket at the bottom of the hinged one, which does have a velcro closure. Is the intent of this to hold “special” treats? I essentially don’t use it. I have well over 1000 hours of wear time on the product, and the efficiency of the design and durability continue to hold up. (One wish is to have an all-black product with no insignia. My kids give me a hard time when I am always wearing this, so the more neutral the better!) In my hands, after mega hours of use (with the exception of EZY Treat as the hinge was broken), based on the design, functionality, and durability of the products, the price ordering shown above should be reversed, and I would pay the higher price to get what is actually the least expensive option. Life is good for the customer on this one!

At first the pouch looks big, but as you use it, you realize you need that size to comfortably put your hand in and out of it. As a woman I could probably use something marginally smaller, but my husband definitely would need a pouch this big. The two items that made me deduct 2 stars are: - it’s impossible to open the pouch with one hand. The metal clasp is so strong it requires both your hands to pry it open. Almost feels you need to lubricate the hinges to try to make it more mobile . - the seams of the belt are pokey and scratchy and feel cheap. I wish they had put as much effort on the belt seam finish as they did to the pouch. So all in all, the pouch is a good size, the quality is good, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Last year, I purchased a bag-style treat bag with cinch string and while that worked well, I didn't realize how much better this one until I tried it out. Since misplacing the bag, I was very content to use my jacket pockets which were large enough to easily and quickly get treats. Now that the weather is warmer though, I found I needed something better than my shirt or pants pocket. And while I thought this treat pouch was on the expensive side (at least in my mind), I'm really glad I got it. It makes dispensing treats so much easier. For the rest of the review, I'll do a series of question and answers. What was wrong with the pants or shirt pocket? Most of my pants pockets, while large on the inside, don't allow the kind of quick treat retrieval needed for extensive training. It became difficult to grab a treat especially if there was something else in the pocket. As for the shirt pocket, let's just say that any time I leaned down Nova got a "jackpot" treat. If you liked the old bag-style, why not get another one? It was fine, but the main reason I got it was because it was cheap (I think maybe $5). I couldn't find it again for the same price and this one got tons of good reviews, so I gave it a try. One thing I didn't like about the bag style is that it didn't close very fast or easily and so sometimes treats would fall out if I bent over to pick up a ball or something. Why is this product awesome? Almost everything about this product seems well thought out not just for treats, but as a small "go" bag for a quick trip with your dog. it's got plenty of space for treats (even two compartments) and a few other spots for a phone, poop bags, keys, and whatever else you might need except a water bottle (and that would just be too bulky). What would you change about this product? The only thing I sometimes struggle with is the divider for the "yummy" and "yummier" treats. It's velcro which is fine but can be a bit cumbersome if you're trying to switch between both frequently. But this feature was a bonus that I didn't realize how nice it would be anyways, so it's not a big deal. I've found it particularly useful for training outside, I can have a brightly colored treat like for tossing on the ground and regular dark colored treats for when I give them by hand. Would you buy this product again? Absolutely. The wide opening that stays open when you need treats and stays closed to prevent falling treats works perfectly. Everything else is a bonus.

I've got a couple of the little drawstring treat bags but it's sometimes difficult to get the treats out quickly, and they fall out if I leave the top open. This treat bag is ideal as the hinges allow it to be opened quickly and to stay open. It's well-made and sturdy and the other small pocket is useful for poo bags. It is really worth spending the few extra pounds on this - anything that helps me train my dog to come when he's called is well worth it!

ottimo prodotto. E' la seconda che prendo. La molla che permette di chiuderlo con una semplice pressione della mano ne fa un'ottimo porta-bocconcini. Lavabile, spazioso ma non ingombrante (ho preso la misura più grande. Probabilmente la più piccola è "troppo" piccola). impermeabile La uso come porta-cellulare/porta oggetti vari. Non userò più altri porta-bocconi.

Nice quality at the price, the product is as advertised and handy for a dog owner to have.

I train guide dog puppies and this is the BEST treat pouch I have ever had. It is strong and sturdy, holds open well and fits lots of treats in it (plus front pocket fits my iPhone well) and it has good belt and clip for lead. I also don't get greasy stains on my clothes from wearing this treat pouch (like you can with other lower quality ones). It holds two cups of kibble easily, so I would recommend the smaller size if you don't need to carry as much as that. This larger one can also hold a toy for my pups, so I just love it (plus it is a slim design and dark, so I don't look like a complete dag when I am wearing it. I read the other reviews and thought the quality of this product might be questionable, but it most certainly is not. As I said it is the best training/treat pouch I have used (and I have used a lot). I have only been impressed and would recommend to anyone

The opening hinges of the item is really stiff and it makes it tough and not so pleasant to use this product.. Update: after 4 months of usage, the hinges are now too loose and the pouch isn’t able to stay open 😭😭😭
