Treats live in a torn bag at the back of a cupboard in most houses, which is how they go stale and how the dog learns exactly which door to stare at. A jar on the worktop deals with both problems: the biscuits stay fresh under a lid, and you can reward something good the moment it happens rather than three minutes later, once you have found the bag behind the cereal.

The medallion pattern here is in warm earthy tones, closer to kitchen storage than to anything from a pet shop, which is precisely why it can be left out instead of put away. The body is break-resistant rather than ceramic, so a knock off the counter is not the end of it, and a silicone base grips the surface so the jar stays put when the lid is pulled one-handed. The whole thing goes in the dishwasher.

On airtightness. This is a lidded jar, not a vacuum-sealed container. It keeps biscuits fresh and out of reach far better than an open bag, but anything soft or semi-moist that you need to keep for months should go into something properly sealed. A determined dog can also pull a worktop jar down, so keep it back from the edge.

Who it's for: Households doing daily training who want the rewards within reach, and anyone whose kitchen has run out of patience with torn pet packaging.
