Hi Gisele I'll get someone to see if there's anything written on the little pouch. I can always grab one for you and send it over if you can't find anything local. But first I'll see if it has a brand name to give you. I know it's red as a couple of people have asked what it is. There were two sorts in the shop I looked in but the other one was more of a sort of dispenser you would have to hold in your hand or put in a pocket as it had nothing to attach it to anything. Cheers Paula and girls. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gisele Mesnage" <gisele@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vi-clicker-trainers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 1:09 AM Subject: (VICT) Re: Treat-carrying solutions, was: get to know you 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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Edie" <annedie@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vi-clicker-trainers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 1:13 AM Subject: (VICT) Treat-carrying solutions, was: get to know you 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.
