IQ Summer Vest 3.0 - Dog Sport Vest for Warm Days

FULL FUNCTION. LESS HEAT.

The IQ Summer Vest 3.0 brings every training function of the IQ Dog Sport Vest 3.0 into a lighter summer setup. Mesh at shoulders and back, breathable fabric, full storage — for structured dog training even in warm temperatures.

⭐ “First choice in dog sport - best quality and function we've found.”

• Mesh at shoulders and back for maximum airflow
• Hidden Reward System for modern heelwork
• Patented chest pocket for center-line reward
• Inner magnetic compartments · slot pocket for stick or tracking marker
• Modular treat pouches · large back pocket
• Same pocket layout as the HSW 3.0 — identical training, lighter setup

HIDDEN REWARD SYSTEM - INVISIBLE REWARD.

The IQ Ball Pocket closes magnetically and fully conceals the ball in the vest. A pull cord releases the reward invisibly — the ball drops exactly where you want your dog to stay focused in heelwork.

Note: “Magnetic” refers to the pocket closure — not to magnetic toys.

• No visible toy under the arm
• No unconscious body cues
• Clean focus in heel position

⭐ “Through the mesh fabric at shoulders and back, airy even on hot days.”

REWARD FROM THE CHEST POCKET.

The patented chest pocket delivers the reward to the center line, right in front of the dog — exactly where he should stay focused in the front sit. By hand or via the integrated pull system, without a visible movement.

• Straight front sit, no turning away
• Focus toward the body's center
• No need to reward from the back pocket

LIGHT BUILD. MESH FOR HOT DAYS.

• Breathable mesh at shoulders and back
• Lighter outer fabric — no heat trap
• Clean construction, rugged for daily training
• Reflector details

⭐ “Really super light and summer-ready, well and solidly made.”

GEAR THAT RUNS ACROSS THE ENTIRE PORTFOLIO.

At IQ, gear isn't built for a single product:

• The IQ Modular Treat Pouch clips via loops to every IQ jacket, vest, hoodie, softshell, or the IQ Multifunctional Belt.
• The IQ Ball Pocket (Hidden Reward System) fits the Dog Sport Vest 3.0, Summer Vest 3.0, K9 Pro Vest, and Training Jacket 2.0.

One pouch. Every compatible IQ piece.
