A conveniently sized and reusable animal treat dispenser (treat(s) will
herein after be referred to as positive reinforcement(s)) for use in
providing positive reinforcements, in an immediate and non-distracting
manner, to reward and reinforce specific behaviors. Generally, the treat
dispenser consists of a loading port, housing area, transfer mechanism,
dispensing port and spring loaded clip. The treat dispenser is designed
for temporary attachment to the trainer's garment; for receiving and
housing multiple positive reinforcements; for dispensing a single positive
reinforcement upon demand and for automatically reloading a single
positive reinforcement for use in continued training. The housing area is
lined with a felt or cloth material to reduce noise caused by the treats
striking one another or the housing area walls.
