Treat Bag: Praise when it counts
In training, a single second often decides whether your dog understands what it is being praised for. A treat bag sits right on your belt or vest, so you can reach the reward without searching. Here you will find the 500 ml Kerbl treat bag, the PRO feed bag with snap hook and the Waldhausen treat pouch with clip, which also proves its worth around horses.
Practical for training
A good bag can be opened with one hand and closes again so nothing falls out while you walk. With 500 ml, the Kerbl models hold enough for a whole training session. You attach the grey and yellow PRO feed bag to your belt, lead or rucksack with its snap hook. The Waldhausen pouch fastens with a clip and can be moved quickly. That keeps your hands free for retrieving, lead work or practising at the peg.
Clean and hygienic
Treats leave crumbs and sometimes grease too. So empty the bag after every session and wipe it out when needed. Do not leave moist rewards such as sausage pieces in it for long, so nothing goes off. Many handlers use small, dry reward pieces for training that do not crumble. That keeps the bag clean, and your dog reliably gets what it has earned. Remember to count the treats as part of the daily food ration.
Frequently asked questions
Which treats are best for a training bag?
Small, dry pieces that do not crumble and are eaten quickly are ideal. That keeps your dog focused and the bag clean. For especially tricky exercises you can keep a few extra special treats ready.
Where is the best place to attach a treat bag?
On your belt on the side of your throwing hand is quickest. Models with a snap hook can also be clipped to a lead, vest or rucksack. Try out where the bag does not get in the way while you walk.
Can I wash a treat bag?
Empty the bag completely and wipe it out with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, you can clean it by hand with a mild washing up liquid. Let it dry thoroughly before filling it with fresh treats.
Treat bags for training and the field
So you can reward your dog at exactly the right moment, a treat bag belongs in every training session. The red Kerbl treat bag holds 500 ml and has enough room for a whole session. The grey and yellow Kerbl PRO feed bag also holds 500 ml and can be attached to your belt, lead or rucksack with its snap hook. The black Waldhausen treat pouch sits securely with a clip and is suitable for dogs and horses alike. All models open quickly, so you can reach the reward without searching. Empty the bag after training, wipe it out and ideally fill it with small, dry treats that do not crumble. Count the rewards as part of the daily food ration so your dog stays lean and agile. That way the bag stays clean and every session runs smoothly from start to finish.
