The outdoor training season is here!
Training with the dog outside is important to teach proper social skills and make sure he or she listens well to commands. When you’re outside, the distractions are much greater for the dog and for you. Therefore, it is important to be able to focus your full attention on the exercises you do with your dog. The right accessories can help with that. NOHO agency shares a top four accessories to help you train your dog.
1. Click ‘n treat
When you’re training outdoor, you can’t walk empty-handed. Ideally, you want to have a supply of dog treats with you, but at the same time keep your hands free. That’s why EQDOG‘s Click ‘n Treat (left image) is ideal. This dog treat bag can be opened with one hand and has an extra large opening so you can grab a treat super fast. The Click ‘Treat has a removable treat pouch that is 100 percent water resistant. So you can easily clean it after each training session. The length-adjustable leash easily attaches and detaches with the snap buckle and has a maximum length of 145 cm. This allows you to wear the Click ‘n Treat around your hip or over the shoulder.
2. Bandee: pouch+
Need more storage space? Then opt for the Bandee: pouch+ (right image) from Bandee by Owney. This ergonomic waist bag has enough room for poop bags, treats for the dog as well as for you, your cell phone, wallet and a bottle of water. Like the Click ‘n Treat, the Bandee pouch+ is easy to open and equipped with a removable insert pocket where you can store dog treats. The Bandee: pouch+ has extra loops to which you can attach leashes and carabiners and is available in four different sizes:
- Small 81 – 89 cm
- Medium 90 – 98 cm
- Large 99 – 106 cm
- XLarge 107 -120 cm
3. Dog Sport Vest
Owney Outdoor makes outdoor apparel specifically for dog lovers, including several (softshell and fleece) intermediate jackets and body warmers that are ideal during the outdoor training season. The Dog Sport Vest (left image) is specifically designed for outdoor training and equipped with six front pockets, one large dummy back pocket, an additional zippered back tunnel pocket, two D-rings for attaching further equipment, and mesh inserts on the back for proper ventilation. The dog sport vest is available in different versions:
- ladies: in the colors petrol, anthracite and anthracite-green, in sizes XS-4XL
- men: in the color anthracite, in sizes XXS-3XL
4. Harness with handle
Of course a good, sturdy leash is necessary in dog training, but the same goes for a good harness with which you can quickly grab your dog if needed. EQDOG‘s harnesses are equipped with a strong handle that allows you to lift up to 170 kilos (!). You can therefore easily correct and stop the average dog with the Classic Harness (available in sizes S, M and L/XL) or Pro Harness (available in sizes XS, S, M and L/XL) from EQDOG. The lightweight harnesses feature an ergonomic design and are easily adjusted to fit the dog’s body.

Brave the last winter cold with Owney Outdoor
From snow, hail and ice, to wind chills, endless rain and the first hint of spring, February has a reputation for being tempestuous. That’s why it’s best to quickly slip on a parka by Owney Outdoor. NOHO agency lists the three warmest women’s parkas from this outdoor brand for dog lovers.
Long Nimbus
Owney Outdoor offers numerous options for a winter outfit. At 120 cm long from the shoulder in size M, the Nimbus is by far the longest parka Owney Outdoor has to offer. Even the biggest sufferers of the cold will happily walk their dogs with this long, yet lightweight parka. You are fully protected from cold, wind and rain thanks to the water- and windproof coating and fully taped seams. When the sun shows itself, the jacket proves to be nicely breathable and you easily pull open the YKK 2-way zip to a comfortable opening. And if rain turns up, you quickly pull the attached hood over your head. The Nimbus was introduced two years back and proved to be an instant hit. The jacket is made of 100% polyamide on the outside, the lining is 100% polyester. The Nimbus is available in anthracite and in sizes XS to 3XL.
Extra handy: carabiner for attaching treat bags, poop bag reservoir and eye-catching reflector.
Robust Comoda
Owney Outdoor’s jackets can withstand quite a lot of rain. The Comoda, too, can withstand as much as 10,000 mm of water before even a single drop of moisture seeps through. The breathable coating protects against rain and wind. And the elastic inner sleeves offer just that little extra protection from the nasty wind. The extra-long cut and quilted winter parka has a fleece lining and is made of 100% polyamide on the outside and 100% polyester for the lining. The Comoda has a YKK 2-way zip and a detachable hood. The jacket has two front pockets, a tunnel pocket at the back and several inside pockets, such as a poop bag dispenser, large and small pocket with opening for headphones and to store wallet. The jacket is available in sizes XS to 4XL and in navy and pine green.
Extra handy: Tunnel pocket on the back, treat pocket, poop bag reservoir and reflective logo on the back and reflective tabs on the zip.
Very comfortable Arctic
If you are looking for a softer, thinner jacket than the average Owney Outdoor jacket, then the very comfortable Arctic winter parka is for you. Featuring a detachable hood, this super-modern, quilted parka is made of a luxurious textured fabric and feels nice and light despite its thick lining. This jacket also has a breathable coating and can easily handle 10,000 mm of water. Furthermore, the Arctic is comfortably windproof thanks to taped seams and features the best quality YKK 2-way zip. The Arctic offers plenty of storage space, including chest pockets with a press stud and zip, a sleeve pocket, large slanted side zipped pockets with removable reward pocket, tunnel pocket on the back, poop bag dispenser and inner pockets with opening for headphones. This winter parka is made entirely of polyester and available in sizes XS to 4XL and in the colours aruba blue, indigo blue, black, cherry red and grey.
Extra handy: tunnel pocket on the back, treat pocket, poop bag reservoir, reflector, sleeve pocket with Velcro and mesh pocket for glasses or torch.
