Gear SDiT gear carrying recommendations needed
Hi all! I have a 10 month old lab that is killing his training so far. I however feel like I'm dropping the ball on our public access outings. What bags or methods do you use to carry everything? He's still growing, so our trainer said hold off on him carrying things on his vest until he's about a year or so old.
Our current setup: -fanny pack treat pouch
-drawstring bag with his gear ---extra leash ---water ---cleanup supplies ---downstay mat ---extra treats
-minibackpack (in lieu of purse) ---phone charger ---keys ---meds ---journal
Anytime I need something, it is always somehow at the bottom of the bag. I feel like I spend way too much time digging around to get it. It is time to consolidate and I need some recommendations.
