Training treat bags - washable? - Page 2

I want a vest sooo bad, but unfortunately I have to pay tuition, books, lab fees... so that will have to wait.. darnit!

I use an apron that is suppose to hold nails and screws, got it at my local hardware store. It's fabric and I just throw it in the wash weekly so it doesn't stink. I also sometimes put my messy treats in a plastic sandwhich bag inside my apron.

Works good for now.

I like to use sandwich bags also...mostly because I can have a couple of different sandwich bags going at a time with treats of different value levels. I use a bag like yours, but I'm thinking of getting an apron from Lowe's (they're about $1) for screws and stuff like what elisabeth uses. Then the pocket would be big enough to hold both a tennis ball and a kong. When DH was working with Millie on a SAR team her reward for the find was a kong...so she wasn't allowed to just play with it, but she could play with a tennis ball. Handy to have both with us.

I used the nail pouch before I got my training vest. It was fine for tracking too.
And they are cheap enough to have a few floating around. My problem was they'd get moldy because I'd forget to take them out of my tote.
I like using different treat baggies, too. Some to spit and some I'd not want to put in my mouth!
