What do you take to agility?

A bit of market research please?
I'm thinking of designing & making an agility themed bag to go with my agility collars & wondering what essentials you take with you?
My idea is similar to a tote bag but wider in heavy cotton, lined & with pockets inside & outside & agility themed & washable.

Also what kind of bag to you currently use?....... or are you not really bothered & you just grab the nearest carrier bag?
Thanks in advance for any input

I don't really take a bag, just a pocket full of treats and a toy. Obviously if I was going to a show I would have more (like lunch, flask, dog towels) but would just leave it in the van until required.

WHen I competed in Agility I took nothing more with me than when I took the dog for a walk etc.

Dog + slip lead with a pooh bag in pocket and some treats in the other.

What else do you need?

I don't take a bag, I have treats in my pocket, poo bags in another pocket, a tug type toy with a ball on the end usually tied to the end of the lead if I'm not using it.

We are still at the learning stage ATM

I take a bumbag with treats in, a clicker, a mat and a travel water bowl and bottle, and a tug toy in my pocket.

Jake takes his collar, harness and double ended lead.

Things people used to typically bring to fun agility classes were:

Treats
Toys
Water bottle and bowl
Small spray bottle of water (it got hot in summer)
and some brought a pair of flat shoes with them, changing their shoes at the beginning and end of the class

On cooler days, people would start off with a cardigan on and lose it as the class got underway.

At shows I have my bumbag with pockets so I can keep my car keys, running orders and stuff seperate - and lots of stinky treats
I make sure its strong enough that I can clip the dogs lead to it and go handsfree about the show, I tie a ball or tuggy to it so I just hand it all over to the lead picker and it is Bens reward at the end of a run

For training I take my car with all sorts of dog related junk in it

Thanks guys
Hmmm maybe it ought to be a "take to show" bag then
or more of a novelty factor for the handler.
I have to admit that when we used to go to fun agilty I used to just take a bum bag & any other bits got slung in the car.
