Hi Paula,
Do you know the brand of that little red pouch?  I use a bum bag that I wear 
around my waist, but I was also looking for something that might clip to the 
harness ,and that little pouch seems ideal.  My father had put a little clip on 
the harness where I could clip on a poo bag when I could not find a bin, but it 
broke off, and I've also been wondering if there are any other gadgets around 
for that purpose.

Cheers,
Gisele

  Thanks. I didn't think we could get anything like this in New Zealand as I 
  had looked around a few times. I got my partner to do a call to all the 
  local pet shops and I'm pleased to say I've found a nice little red pouch 
  for Gypsy. It fits on her harness strap on her back or can clip to me. It 
  has her roll of plastic bags, my recall whistle and her treats in it. 
  There's also room for her ID card so I might put that in too. Now I just 
  have to find the clicker which has decided to disappear so training is on 
  hold.

  Cheers
  Paula and girls.

  Hi, Paula,

  People use a variety of different bags and other solutions for clicker
  training treats.  Some use a fanny pack or "bait bag".  The fanny packs are
  available in many general market stores in a variety of styles and colors to
  match your outfit and to suit almost any budget.  The bait bags can be found
  at pet stores and on the internet at web sites like sitstay.com.

  I usually like to use a fishing vest rather than a fanny pack.  The fishing
  vest has lots of deep pockets, many with zippers to keep the treats from
  falling out when I bend over.  I am usually carrying several types of
  treats, so I can keep them in separate pockets in the vest.  I have several
  vests in different colors, and I have different sizes of vests so that I can
  throw one on over any season's clothing, small ones for summer wear over a
  T-shirt, and larger ones for wearing in winter over a parka or coat.  I get
  the fishing vests at Army-Navy Surplus stores, but they're probably
  available at other outdoor clothing stores or camping supply stores.  I like
  them because they're easily washable.

  I also keep a fanny pack for times when I'm too dressed up for a fishing
  vest.  Or, if even that is too casual, I can toss a few dry treats in my
  handbag or pocket--the occasions when I get that dressed up or when I carry
  a handbag are extremely few, so it's not that much of an issue for me!

  I think we each experiment, both with the types of treats we use and with
  the carrying solutions we choose, until we find the system that works best
  for each of us.  And then that may change, depending on the individual
  animal we are working with as well as with the species.

  Best,
  Ann
