As a dedicated trainer and handler of a fiercely intelligent Belgian Malinois on track for PSA III, my days are filled with high-energy drills and intense training sessions. It’s essential that every piece of gear I use is up to the task, which is why I’m thrilled to share my experience with the Ultimate Treat Pouch Sealable Edition from VoliaPet.
Picture this: a sun-drenched training field, my Mal, poised for action. Enter our trusty sidekick, the VoliaPet Sealable Treat Pouch. This isn't just a treat pouch; it's a vital part of our training arsenal. With its airtight seal, I can sprint, tug, and engage in the rough-and-tumble play that my dog thrives on, all without a single worry about spills or uninvited snacking from the canine contingent.
Training with raw treats requires more than what most pouches can provide. Not so with this marvel! The food-grade, BPA-free silicone keeps raw rewards in prime condition, no matter how long we're out on the field. And when it's time to switch gears, sealing up and tossing this pouch into a cooler or dishwasher at home is as easy as saying "Plotz."
The genius doesn’t stop at the seal. The spring-assisted wide-mouth opening allows me to access food with the swiftness of a bald eagle snatching up its prey (‘MURICA!), which is essential during dynamic training exercises. And with the generous 20 oz. capacity, I have plenty of high-value rewards to keep my Mal motivated through even the most challenging drills.
But let’s talk accessories—the Adventure Clip and the optional belt with a cobra buckle transform this pouch from a mere food carrier to a veritable Swiss Army knife of utility. I simply pull the pouch from my cooler, clip it on the belt that holds my K9 controller, ball or longline pouch, and other essentials, and we’re ready to conquer the day. This pouch handles the rigors of training as if it’s just another walk in the park (not that she ever just walks anywhere). And when I step off the field, I just unclip the pouch and throw it back in the cooler without having to take the belt off. Some days, I find myself wearing the belt all day.
The sleek, slim profile? It doesn’t just prevent me from looking like a “noob” but also makes me look like a professional who actually knows what he is doing. When closed, it's so slim and sleek I can heel my dog on either side, and it won’t push her out of position like other pouches do. This pouch sticks by my side, literally and figuratively, through it all, no matter how much of a dumpster fire my dog is being that day.
To my fellow trainers and high-octane handlers: if you’re looking for a food pouch that’s as tough and smart as your canine companion, look no further. The Ultimate Treat Pouch Sealable Edition from VoliaPet isn’t just a training tool—it’s a game changer on and off the field.
My dog and I give it five stars, and a lot of bicep scars!
