I use this treat pouch to hold Zuke's Mini treats to reward Zoey for going potty promptly, coming inside when I call her, etc. Most importantly, it holds my waste bag for picking up after Zoey, so I can have both my hands free even if my clothing doesn't have pockets, like the aforementioned yoga pants.
The directions for this Premier treat pouch instruct the user to occasionally oil the hinges, which I need to do. The hinges to close the pouch worked smoothly until some rain got on the hinges.... now they're creaky and stiff. So, gotta oil those!

These wear out.All treat bags wear out. If you use them day-in and day-out, you need to plan to replace your working bag every 4-6 months.
This is my experience, based on 10 years of serious training with Border Collies, at least two hours a day.
If you want the hinges to last longer, put vaseline, or a little vegetable oil, on them once a week--this keeps the bag opening and closing smoothly and helps the hinges last.
But you will still need to buy a new one every six months or so.See the reviews under the green bag. After three months of use once a day, one of the hinge pins came out so the bag could not shut tight, its main design feature. I found the pin and replaced it and two weeks later the hinge, itself, broke making the closing feature inoperable. The other reviewer at the green bag site had two bags that had their hinges break.I am training my own service dog so I use my bag daily. Unfortunately, the hinges break on every one! The first hinge broke within 3 weeks of purchasing, so it was replaced at no charge. Then I ended up going through more than 6 bags in as many months because the hinges continue to break. (Granted, I don't have to pay for the replacements, but now I'm fed up with it!) So I am online hunting for a new brand. Premier's bags have very cheap hinges and it is totally not worth your time & money to invest in them! These totally stink. Great design, but cheap materials!!
