Designed with trainers in mind, it combines durability, smart storage, and ease of use – making it the perfect partner for rewarding effectively.

  • Generous capacity: Holds 300g of Training Rewards plus a medium Kong.
  • Smart lining: Rigid interior prevents food crumbs getting trapped in creases.
  • Jackpot rewards ready: Rear inner pocket with velcro closure for high-value treats.

Without doubt, this is the best dog training treat or bait bag. It has the perfect size and shape for everyday training. The magnetic closure is a dream. It saves food from spilling when you lean over and makes rewarding quick and easy. The bag is machine washable and holds its shape after cleaning. Even after years of use, it still performs reliably. The photos show a brand-new bag alongside one five years old, which has been washed many times and still works and looks great.

Starmark Pro-Training Clicker

The Starmark Pro-Training Clicker is one of the most trusted tools in positive reinforcement training. Used by professionals worldwide – and chosen by The Dog Man® in his own training – this simple, effective tool produces a distinct, consistent sound that marks the exact moment your dog gets it right.

Sound & Reliability

  • Rust-proof: Stainless steel clicker element for long-lasting durability.
  • Consistent: Produces a clear, reliable click every time.
  • Balanced Volume: Loud enough for outdoor training, yet gentle enough for sound-sensitive dogs.

Introduce the clicker gradually by pairing the sound with treats in a calm setting. Most dogs quickly learn to love the click as a reward signal.

  • Precision Timing: Distinct, consistent sound marks the exact behaviour being rewarded.
  • Ergonomic Design: Comfortable in hand with a raised, responsive button to prevent missed clicks.
