I was very excited to get this bag to use as a training tool for my new puppy. I got it and started to use it and within @2 weeks, the hinge failed and I was no longer able to open the pouch at all! I exchanged the item thinking it was just a fluke but the second one also failed after @2 weeks. Very disappointed that an expensive treat bag was so poorly made. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

I've had an Outward Hound treat bag like this in the past and it was terrific. Bought this one as a replacement as we lost the other in a move. Ready for the first puppy class, I loaded up and away we went. Within 30 minutes the snap shut mechanism had broken making it impossible to close the bag. I hope it was just a fluke and that I got a lemon, but it sure was an expensive lemon!

Buy Kyjen Outward Hound Quick Access Treat Bag Now

I have purchased 3 of these treat bags one from amazon and two from a local pet store. The hinge fails within several uses. I have tried to repair the hinge but once failed cannot be resurrected. I prefer this size/ shape treat bag to the round pouches which don't facilitate quick access to training treats but can't/ won't continue to waste money on a product that clearly is defective. (Other hinged treat bags have the same hinge defect.)

Actually I would give this product a 4.5 start rating if I could. This is the second Outward Hound treat bag that I have purchased and use it every day with my dog. I love the fact that there are 2 internal compartments along with the mesh compartment on the outside. I use one of the compartments inside to stash a few dollars and my lip balm, and the other of course for treats. I usually put a poop bag in the mesh compartment outside. I also like the adjustable waist strap. I can cinch it down in the summer when I'm not wearing a coat and give myself more room to go over a heavy winter coat. Other bags I tried before these clipped onto my belt, but would never stay on. They could be eaily knocked off.

There are 2 issues with this bag. The mesh compartment is not deep so things can fall out and I have lost a poop bag or two. (That's OK I always carry multiple). The bigger issue is the bag "pops" open using a thin metal band covered in the fabric. You have to be careful because over time ( at least on the last one I had) that metal cracked/broke and ripped through the fabric. I covered it with duck tape but it got bad enough that I would scratch my hand on it. I finally tossed it and got a new one. I just try to open and close the pouch as few times as I can.

I would recommend it.

I've had this bag since April, and I would say it's a good bag. Not great, but good and serves it's purpose. I've been training my dog with treats, and I wanted a treat bag that I could sling over my shoulder or chest like a purse during the Spring/Summer. During the winter I would put treats in my jacket, but during the warmer weather I wear skirts/shorts with no pockets & so I have no place to put treats. This looked like the right treat bag for us.

Positives :

1. purse/sling style, but I could also see putting the strap through the loops on your pants/jeans if you'd rather have it on your hip

2. It's not too big or too small. You can fit a tennis ball in it, if your dog likes to play fetch. It's wide enough to hold a rawhide / chew stick. Will hold lots and lots of treats because the main area is 'deep'.

3. Mesh open pocket on the outside for 'poop bags', and pocket on the inside with a small rectangle velcro closure where you can store your keys or cell phone etc.

4. Quick easy access to anything inside the bag.

5. adjustable nylon strap

6. Nylon type material makes up the bag itself

7. Available in blue, so my husband doesn't feel too silly carrying/using it ;)

Negatives :

1. clips that hold the strap in place look/feel a little like cheap plastic. I haven't had the clips break, but when I first saw them I was a little worried they would break quickly.

2. Even though it's easy access, the opening of the bag has some sort of metal spring device. Imagine how your grandma's coin purse would open, and you'll understand what I mean. I was expecting a zipper. So, I was kind of surprised, but it works ok. I could see it wearing out though. Especially if you washed it in the laundry because it's metal.

3. An extra pocket on the rear side with a zipper would have been really nice.

4. The Nylon (or cotton?) material used for the bag is really not water proof. A water proof bag or lining would also be nice. I've gotten the bag wet on accident, and when I was out in the rain. It's ok if you get a little bit of water on it, but other wise it will soak through.
