Dog trainer vests
A good training vest keeps your hands free and your rewards ready, so timing stays sharp. Our vests are made for long days on the field:
-
Multi-Pocket vests - several pockets for treats, toys, a clicker and a phone, a full zip front and a D-ring for a leash or tug. Available in black, blue and grey.
-
Stretch Dri-Fit vests - lightweight, breathable fabric that moves with you and dries fast in hot weather or hard sessions.

Scratch pants protect the helper's legs from claws, teeth and contact during bite work, sleeve work and agitation, while still allowing the free movement needed to run, turn and present correctly to the dog.
-
Protection Scratch Pants - bib-style pants with padded knees for IGP and working-dog helper work.
-
Full Protection Training Suit - jacket, scratch pants and sleeve together for complete helper coverage.
