This is a sewing dog craft, but it is a pretty easy one. It only takes about ten minutes to make this travel homemade dog training treats pouch.

Travel pouches make it nice for teaching walking on a leash, manners around others, how to behave in cars and buildings, and so on.

This is a pretty small pouch making it great for traveling. However, if you did want a larger one, you can use all the same steps and just use a larger piece of fabric and cord.

Lay the fabric face down, along the 4-inch side fold it over on one end by 1/4 inch, and pin it in place. You only need to pin it so that it is about 1 inch long. Do the same on the other side.

Pin fold along top edge

Sew that fold down sewing close to the raw edge. Do both sides.

Sew down the edge you pinned

Now on the 7-inch side at that same end, fold it over by about half an inch all the way across and pin it in place.

Pin fold along long side

Sew that fold all the way across close to the raw edge.

Fold over and pin bottom and one side

Now fold the fabric in half along that stitched area so the right sides are touching each other. Pin along the side and bottom edges.

Sew down the side starting at the stitching of that cross stitch. You don’t want to sew those open ends closed where you stitched. When you get to the bottom, turn the corner and sew across the bottom as well. Be sure to do a backstitch at the start and finish.

Turn the pouch right side out.

How to use a Dog Treat Pouch

Fill the pouch with small dog training treats. Then slide the toggle down to draw the bag closed while not in use.

You can either keep it in your pocket or loop it around the handle of the leash. You can attach it to the leash in two different ways. Either by putting the cord through the handle and then looping the pouch back through the cord.

Or you could also clip something like a carabiner clip to the end of the cord to clip it onto the handle of the leash.
