TREAT POUCHES
Bringing a treat pouch with you on a walk can mean the difference between keeping your dogs attention on you, or being potentially dragged across the street towards dogs, squirrels, kids, cars, etc.
Using a treat pouch in the house and yard while practicing obedience training (sit, stay, to your bed, give paw, etc.) will keep your dog engaged as the pouch will soon represent a potential "payment" or "a pay cheque".
Aim to work smart and not hard by using high value treats to convince your dog that you are more rewarding than any environment they are in.
I choose a treat pouch (and I have many, lol) based on two guidelines:
1) Easy and Quick Access to Treats
2) An Option to Wear the Pouch Like a Sash for Easy Access When Wearing a Winter Coat
