Gentle Leader Treat Pouch - Green

Gentle Leader Treat Pouch - GreenThe gentle leader treat pouch is an excellent design, but unfortunately the quality of construction leaves much to be desired. My wife and I purchased two packs to use with our new puppy, and after about three weeks of use, one of the loops that hold the belt broke on my pouch. No big deal, I thought, I'll just use the handy clip and attach it to my own belt. That worked fine for another week until the clip snapped off. Meanwhile, the hinges on my wife's pack broke causing it to stay in the open position at all times. So, we took them back to the store where we bought them, and we were given two new ones. Well, after about a week of use, the hinges on mine broke. So, I took it back to the store once more, and got another one. So far so good with this one and with my wife's, but we're not too optimistic that these will hold up for long.

There is also a very annoying sharp edge that sticks out on both corners where the seams come together. It scratches the underside of your forearm when you're walking or whenever you brush against it when treating your dog. We solved this with a pair of scissors by cutting the offending seam end off, something that one would expect the manufacturers to do.

It's a great design and could be a great product, but they need to beef things up a bit.

Excellent concept, poor construction. After three months of use, once a day, one of the hinges broke defeating the design that allows it to snap shut. This was after one of the hinge pins had come out but wasn't lost so was re-installed. Would NOT recommend this product.
