The IQ Dogsport Vest 3.0 is a dog training vest built for sport and service dog handlers who need rewards, leads and kit to hand without fumbling. K9 Store is the exclusive UK distributor of IQ Dogsport.
Its centre chest pocket lets you reward straight in front of you for a tight, straight front sit and clean retrieves. Pull the integrated cord and the toy drops out with no visible hand movement to give the reward away.
- Two chest pockets that zip together into one large pocket for a big toy, with integrated pull-cord release
- Large front pockets and a large back pocket for leads, tugs, toys and treats
- Slot at the back for a whip, position stick or tracking sign
- Three internal magnet compartments for systems such as Top-Matic, plus internal zipped pockets for valuables
- Inside loops for the IQ Modular Food Pocket; armhole loops for the IQ Ball Pocket (both sold separately)
- Robust matt outer that is claw-resistant, tear-resistant, water-repellent and breathable
- Unisex cut sized like standard men's sizes
Used in IGP, protection, obedience and tracking, and by police, customs and military K9 handlers. Wear it over a T-shirt in summer or over a jacket in winter. Looking for a lighter dog training gilet for hot days? See the IQ Summer Vest 3.0.
Care: machine wash at 30°C with zips closed. Do not tumble dry or iron.

Frequently asked questions
How does the centre chest pocket work?
Two chest pockets zip together into one large pocket that holds a big toy. You can take the toy out by hand, or release it from the centre of your body with the integrated pull cord.
Is the IQ Vest 3.0 waterproof?
It's water-repellent, not waterproof. IQ designed it for year-round use: over a T-shirt in summer and over a jacket in winter. For prolonged rain, IQ recommends its Training Jacket 2.0 (waterproof to 20,000 mm), which has the same chest-pocket system.

Does it work with magnetic reward systems?
Yes. There are three internal magnet compartments for systems such as TOP-Matic, plus inside loops for the IQ Modular Food Pocket (sold separately).
What size should I order?
The chart gives garment measurements. Measure your chest, add about 10 cm for layers and movement, and compare. Sizes run like standard men's sizes.
How quick is delivery, and can I return it?
Order by 2pm Monday to Friday and we dispatch the same day. You can cancel within 14 days of receiving it. Try it on at home, but keep the labels on and don't train in it: items sent back worn or without their tags can't be refunded. To change size, place a new order and return the original.
