Wanted: Training Vest

nwilz · 05-31-2009, 09:22 PM

I need a used training vest in a big medium or a large. Just can't afford a new one right now with all the other costs of getting started in Schutzhund. If you have one or know of someplace I can get one or get a vest that will work for training for under $120, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks,
Nichole

For under 120 you can get a new one.

I have the one from fordogtrainers.com - I got it 2-3 years ago.
I like it a lot. It doesn't have the fancy ball drop/pulley system but I have seen a lot of people struggle with theirs! I got a vest with one last year and have yet to use it.
I love the fact that it's totally waterproof and that the sleeves can be zipped back on - so I don't have to keep an extra raincoat with me. I think it's a really good value.

I use a fishing vest also for home use, went to the tailor and had them sew a velcro toy pocket on for me.

But then on the field I have a normal training vest.

According to Bernhard Flinks all you need is a shoe string with a clothes pin hanging on it, and a plastic string adjuster (From most winter jackets) on the string itself as a size adjuster. I switched to one of these you hang the ball or toy on it and tuck it inside the jacket.

This helps to eliminate the dog from forging forward in antisipation of your right hand bringing the toy out of the back pocket.

Worth every cent it cost me to make. (May be 5 cents)

I will see if one of my students this evening can get a pic for me if not it will have to wait until hubby is home.

Well the fordogtrainers.com vest has a velcro pocket on the front so I can just leave the string hanging out and it'll come right out to toss to the dog.
Yes I love that vest

The website for "fordogtrainers.com" doesn't have measurments for their sizes of the vest. Does anyone know how big these run?

You can buy a new one for way less than $120.

I've known lots of people to use fishing vests, or BDU vests from a military surplus store, and those work just as well.

Not pretty but huge pockets
