13 Dog Treat Pouches to One-Up Your Walks and Training Sessions

• This review contains affiliate links. Read more here.

Take it from any dog parent: having dog treats close by and ready to dispense is very handy. That goes double for pet parents training a feisty puppy or walking a hound who has a nose with a mind of their own. A portable dog treat pouch makes rewards easy to dole out for good behavior at any time and place, reinforcing training that much more (and protecting your clothes pockets from treat leftovers).

There’s a huge range of treat-pouch styles. For pet parents on the go, there are waist-wrapping utility pouches with high carrying capacity and lots of pockets. For the more casual walk or cafe hangout, there are lightweight shoulder bags with a slim profile. Some dog treat bags clip to pants, others buckle around the waist, and still others have a crossbody strap—or some combination of the three.

To guide your choice, look for treat bags that make it easiest for you to access treats fast—making an instant connection between behavior and reward is key for your pup. You’ll also want to consider the material. Some fabrics and styles are more durable than others and have varying weatherproof or reflective qualities.

Best Overall: Ruffwear Treat Trader

This tidy little treat pouch from Ruffwear is ergonomically designed to mold to your hip. It’s made from water-resistant fabric to keep your pet’s treats fresh and dry, even on rainy days, and it does a lot with not much space. A small carabiner can hold a training clicker, while a little external pocket is good for storing everything from poop bags to a spare house key.

Its best feature, though, is a unique magnetic clasp that makes it easy to open and close one-handed when you’re on the move or juggling a leash or two. We also like its versatility: it can be worn on a belt or over the shoulder.

Key Features:

• Outer fabric is durable and lightweight
• Pouch is ergonomic and comfortable to carry
• Multiple carry options: on a belt or over the shoulder
• 6 in. x 5.3 in. x 4.9 in.

Best Fanny Pack: Wilderdog Utility Pack (Verified Review)

Fanny pack treat pouches are great for carrying everything you need in addition to your treats, and this bag by Wilderdog really takes the cake (or should we say cookie?). Separated by three water-resistant utility pockets, it offers tons of room.

In fact, our tester fit all of the following on multiple trips: a Stasher bag full of treats, a dog chew, phone, keys, poop bag roll, emergency spray, a point-and-shoot camera, and a small squeaky ball. We especially liked that the main pocket is quite deep, helping to prevent items from falling out when reaching into the pack.

Key Features:

• Adjusts from 33’’ to 48’’ around; doubles as a crossbody bag or fanny pack
• Available in three stylish colors
• Outer webbing for clip-on accessories
• Includes a poop bag dispenser
• Interior is lined with water-resistant fabric
• 10 in. x 6 in. x 2 in.

Best Drawstring Model: Kurgo Treat Bag

This treat bag from Kurgo can be customized; its modular Velcro design allows you to attach additional ID clips, straps, or carabiners (one is included) to the outside. Inside, you can store up to 12 ounces of dry treats. The pouch closes tightly with a drawstring and can attach to your belt with a carabiner or the built-in snap straps

If you’re already a fan of Kurgo products, this pouch is compatible with the Kurgo RSG Harnesses and Activity Utility Belt. Not walking the dog today? You can also use it to store human treats, including 12-ounce cans.

Key Features:

• Built-in zipper pocket to hold keys and other essentials
• Compatible with Kurgo’s RSG Harnesses and Active Utility Belt
• Stores up to 12 ounces of dry treats
• 5 in. x 4 in. x 8 in.

Best for Stinky Treats: AUDWUD Dog Treat Pouch

If cleaning the nooks and crannies of a small fabric treat pouch seems nightmarish, this small silicone treat pouch might be for you. This BPA-free pouch is easy to clean—it’s dishwasher-safe—and features the same easy-access magnetic closure as some of the other bags. This pouch clips easily to your waistband and comes in several bright colors. The silicone material makes the pouch extremely lightweight and easy to carry.

Key Features:

• Dishwasher safe
• Lower price point
• Unique large opening
• 5 in. x 4 in. x 1.5 in

Best Budget Treat Pouch: Chuckit! Treat Tote

Chuckit! makes a sturdy, no-frills treat pouch that comes in two sizes: a one-cup size for small pups or little outings and a two-cup capacity bag for bigger snacks or longer journeys. It has a drawstring closure that keeps out inquiring noses and is made from durable pack-cloth fabric. An easy-to-clean lining prevents wear and tear and keeps out moisture.

Key Features:

• Lightweight design with drawstring closure
• Small and discreet design keeps dogs from getting distracted during training sessions

Best Low-Profile: PetSafe Treat Pouch Sport

The PetSafe Sport is a simple, low-profile treat bag that’s easy to take just about anywhere since it features a divided compartment that allows you to keep your phone and ID separate from your stash of crumbly dog treats.

Best Poop-Bag Dispenser: Paw Lifestyles Dog Treat Training Pouch

This hard-working treat pouch is also a poop bag carrier and small essentials bag that can be worn three different ways: around your waist, clipped to your belt, or carried over the shoulder like a purse. The pouch is constructed from lightweight and rugged nylon that protects contents from weather. It also features an external zipper compartment that can store a phone and identification.

Key Features:

Most Versatile: PetAmi Dog Treat Pouch

For those looking to avoid a super utilitarian look, PetAmi offers one of the more stylish purse-like pouches, available in beautiful vibrant colors. But it provides more than style. It has the capacity to carry treats, toys, clickers, poop bags, and whatever else you may need. Plus, the removable strap allows you to carry this cute pouch three ways: cross-body, around the waist, or attached with the metal clip to your belt.

Key Features:

• External poop bag dispenser
• Front zipper pouch for phone and ID

Best for Speed: Doggone Good Rapid Rewards Training Bag

This dog treat pouch has a large-capacity pocket with a magnetic opening plus a pull cord for quick open/close. The ergonomic shape (no corners for treats to get stuck in and no extra time wasted fishing around) makes it especially good for a quick draw, and despite its large size, it isn’t bulky to carry. It has several pockets that can close by zipper or Velcro. The pouch is water-resistant and comes in multiple color choices.

Key Features:

• Large size accommodates three cups of treats or food
• Has a pull string and a magnetic clasp
• 5.75 in. x 6.75 in. x 2.75 in.
• Clips to belt or fastens around waist with included belt strap

Most Stylish: Wild One Dog Treat Bag (Verified Review)

This purse-like dog treat pouch can be carried over the shoulder or like a fanny pack (which, as you know, are never out of style). Made from 100% recycled materials, it has a convenient storage pocket to keep your phone and keys separate from crumbly treats, plus a built-in poop bag dispenser. The treat holder itself is durable, and a handy magnetic top keeps treats from spilling out.

Our testers did note, however, that access to treats isn’t quite as easy as some pouches, especially when you’re wearing the pouch as a cross body bag.

Key Features:

• Multiple options to wear (purse or fanny-pack style, though note that the strap may need additional pinning to size down sufficiently)
• Two utility pockets
• Made with 100% recycled knit in a range of colors, with seasonal options available
• 8.63 in. x 6.25 in. x 0.75 in.

Consider:

• Hand wash with mild soap recommended
