Let’s Talk Treat Pouches! 🦴
There are so many great options out there for storing treats (and even toys!) to keep rewards handy during training. Always remember — behaviors that are reinforced are repeated, so having quick access to those treats is a key to success.

We know treat pouches can sometimes get a bad rap — maybe you think they look a little silly or that they make it seem like your dog “needs a treat for everything.” But here’s the truth:
💡 Treat pouches are a total game-changer for training!
1️. Quick, easy access to rewards
2️. No more dirty pockets
3️. Keeps your hands free — easier to hold the leash without cookies in your hand
4️. Clip on or take off easily — no fumbling with plastic bags
5️. Increases your dog’s motivation by signaling that “rewards are available!”

🐾 Things to consider when choosing a treat pouch:

💡Think about how many treats, toys or accessories (you even want one large enough to hold your keys!) you’ll need to carry during training session or walk. Make sure it’s roomy enough to hold everything comfortably.
🐕Look for pouches with multiple compartments, pockets, or attachment points so you can organize your tools and keep them within easy reach. - Maybe you are training 2 dogs and one has a food allergy, a 2 compartment pouch can keep snacks seperate.
💦Choose a durable, water-resistant material that can handle all weather conditions and regular use and regular washing. Many silicone pouches are dishwasher safe!
🐾Think of how you’ll wear it. Adjustable straps or clips that attach easily to your belt or waistband make for a comfortable, secure fit. Over the shoulder bags can sometimes be cumbersome if they are not tightly fitted to your body.

A good treat pouch helps you stay prepared, hands-free, and focused on what really matters — rewarding great behavior. This is why we provide a CUTE dishwasher silicone treat pouch with your Good Manners Level 1 registration!

🐾 Private training stars! 🐾⭐
We’re so proud of some of our amazing pups and their dedicated humans!

Nukka & Pippen — These two had some conflict at home, struggling with over-arousal and tight spaces. With consisten=cy and training these 2 have made strides. Management is still in place, but their humans are feeling much more confident as both dogs build new skills and self-control.

Maddox — This big-hearted boy has big feelings and loves to announce them! His human has been working so hard on counter-conditioning and desensitization techniques like “Look at That” and “Mark & Move” when seeing stranger dogs and people in public. Maddox is learning to use his eyes instead of his voice—and he’s starting his very first group class today!

Nelly — Nelly began with in-home sessions and has now moved on to working at our training space! She’s focusing on fitness skills and having a blast with fun agility games. The change in environment gives her a break from her canine sister and lets the focus be 100% on her!

Private sessions can be a great next step after completing group classes — or the perfect starting point before joining one! 🐾
With private training, you’ll get a customized plan built just for you and your dog’s unique needs. Whether you’re fine-tuning skills or tackling specific challenges, we’re here to help every step of the way.
