We were introduced to a versatile little treat pouch in 2016 by a dog training client who was tired of carrying a plastic baggie of chicken, her clicker, her phone, a collapsible water bowl, poop bags… and then some. After some online research, she arrived to her next training session with an intriguing little treat pouch made by Vaun Duffy.

More recently, Amazon has many more treat pouch options and no longer offers the Vaun Duffy treat pouch. But we still love this basic design of pouch and recommend the very similar Lanney Treat Pouch (among others) to clients and class students.

Some features of this treat pouch include:

• 3 options to wear it – clipped on your pants, belted around your waist or over your shoulder, like a purse
• The pouch itself is made of a very sturdy, woven nylon
• Mesh pocket in the front for holding a tennis ball, a clicker, car keys, or also could be used for separating your lower-value dry treats from higher value treats
• A zippered pocket in the front – perfect for holding a cell phone; it’s also rubberized on the front inside of this pocket to encourage a good grip its contents
• The belt clip is made of wide metal, and not plastic!
• A nice, sturdy liner inside to hold your treats – made of a slick nylon so it’s easily cleaned
•  A discreet zippered poop bag pocket and dispenser in the back – freeing your leash from that clunky plastic poop bag holder

One thing on the wish list for improving this pouch might include a removable treat liner – although it’s easily cleaned, it’s not removable

Overall, we really like this treat pouch. It’s definitely worth considering given its sturdy, easy-to-clean and functional design. The Lanney Treat Pouch is available in three basic colors (grey, pink and black) and sells online for $13.
