Arrak Outdoor's Competition Dog Handler's Vest is the perfect training vest for any dog sport. Our designers worked with hundreds of dog trainers to produce the best dog handler's vest. From the novice dog handler to the world-level competitor, the right vest is for you!

It's best not to size up for this vest. 

Special Features:

  •  Breathable fabric made of 65% polyester/35% cotton twill. Stretch accent fabric panels on the side of each vest made of 94% Polyamide/6% elastane;
  • The vest is mesh-lined that allows for air to pass through, keeping you cool in any weather easily;
  • Two side zippers that allow ventilation to keep you cool. We tested the vest on the hottest California summer day. We were happy to report that our users were comfortable throughout the day because of this and the other features. 
  • The water-resistant fabric has been *impregnated with wax making the vest impervious to water and giving it greater sustainability;
  • Heavy-duty 2-way front zipper. The ability to unzip the bottom of the vest is a feature that is vital for training. You can load up your pockets and use the zipper to give you extra room. If you are bending or sitting a lot during your training, unzipping the bottom of the vest will allow greater comfort and flexibility;
  • The placement of the pockets will exceed your expectations. The chest pockets are reinforced with durable zippers. The front-bottom pockets are doubled, with a zipped outer pocket and a hand pocket directly behind it. The back of the vest has a large kangaroo pocket for large items. The inside of the vest has two inner pockets for the storage of your valuables; 
  • The first of its kind - is a removable treat pocket, securely attached to the front of your vest, lined, washable, and closeable with its convenient drawstring toggle; 
  • An elastic outer holder is placed on the right front shoulder and under the armpit. The placement of the elastic band is perfect for holding your reward toy or e-collar remote;
  • durable, breathable, polyester/cotton material with side panels in a flexible stretch material for the best fit and mobility;
  • Adjustable drawstring at the bottom; and, 
  • Each vest has D-rings to attach your leash handle, keys, or other items on the front and back with Arrak Outdoor's logo carabiner.

* use any impregnation wax or fabric guard to increase the water-resistant properties

I should've bought one years ago

Quality vest that looks/fits great, with lots of useful features. Plenty of pockets for holding gear. I especially like the pocket on the back for holding toys, balls, long line. I'm going to use it for birds, this coming fall. The removable treat pouch has been nice, as it's not quite vest/hoodie season in Maine, yet.

So Glad I Chose This Vest!

I had been looking (for a long time) for the best vest to wear while training my dogs in Nose Work and Agility. None of my current dog-training friends had an Arrak, most had Browning. The Browning they all wore is no longer available and the substitute I found, well I wish I'd never bought/settled on. I'd been looking at this Arrak vest all along and decided on it after a disastrous day in the Browning. From the moment I put it on I was happy with this vest. It is beyond perfect for dog training and has so many great features I keep being surprised by it. As much as I've worn it, it looks brand new when I pull it out of the closet. The pocket I keep treats in was easy to clean and after a sudden shower, I can guarantee the vest is water repellent.

So many pockets!

Will put it to the test this week. Slight issue with the wrong color being sent but I heard back from Denise immediately. All was rectified quickly. I did also exchange sizes for the jacket and that process went very smoothly.

These are definitely dog training pieces of clothing!! Now if you could offer up the vest in CAMO! That would be awesome. Most of my training is field work.

Love it

So I couldn't decide between 2. So I got both. This one is a little shorter, but still fits great. I an 5'3 125lbs I did get the Medium it fits great. I love the tennis ball holder and the added treat pouch.

Great Vest

I've owned many vests and this is the nicest one of the bunch. Very well thought out pockets and overall design. The quality is much higher than the others I have owned. It is worth the extra cost as compared to those $20-$30 less. Two points to ponder. It is not one of those super light weight vests. It may be too warm for the summer in some areas of the country. I'd likely not wear it in 90 plus degree weather. Despite what I read in other comment I thought the sizing to be a bit small for a vest. If you want to put it over other clothing, and have room in your pockets for treats, balls, bumpers etc, I'd say for sure to go up a size. If you order your exact size it will fit, but say you wanted to put it over a hoodie in cooler weather that might be an issue. Really nice vest with plenty of pockets, thought out for a dog train. Love it.

Hey Steve! I agree. We do have the zippered side vents. We are working on designing two additional vests. We are so excited to be a part of the development.

I love it! But

It’s almost perfect, except the snap broke on the treat pouch, on the 2nd day of wearing it. I love all the pockets and how it looks on me. The review said that it ran small, but I think that the size was correct, I wished I ordered my normal size and didn’t go up one size.

Top quality, except for the treat pouch.

Excellent quality, super stylish

I loved most things about this vest. I haven't gotten to a point in my training where I utilize all the features, but so far it has been great. I do wish the back pocket was a bit bigger, as some of the toys I use are not so easy to put in and out. The material feels very sturdy. The drawstrings on the treat pouch works very well and opens easily making it easy to access and close.

Competition Vest Review

Nice fit, roomy enough to wear a heavy shirt or sweater underneath, yet flattering with the tapered waist, and not bulky. Tons of pockets. The rear pocket is easily accessible. The elastic loop under the left arm is a great place to tuck a tug toy while heeling. The fabric feels like high quality, although Border Collie hair does stick to it. Since it it still winter where I live, I haven’t had the opportunity to try the zippered sides for ventilation. I’m very happy with this product.
