How do I train my GILI HOBO bag??

I would suggest putting your stuff in it and go! I did that with both my Roma 2 bags and they are gorgeous. I have never ever had to ""train"" a bag!

The video said put a water bottle in your bag and hang it on a door knob for a couple of days. I did that with the blush Roma 2 I bought in the summer. I didn't do it with the black one I bought a month ago, I just put all my "stuff" in the bag and I let train itself.

Technically Jacie is correct. It's really just getting it broken in so it fits your body better, etc.

Someone actually did a youtube and showed how hers now looks and how the zipper works since she hung it on a door knob with three 32oz bottles in it. I think she did it overnight to one of the ostrich Milanos.

Others just massage it when they have the chance to keep softening it up. I did that with my Roma 2 Natural Ostrich.

Those that have "broken it in" say the zippers work fine and aren't wavy once the leather stretches. Give it some time

To anyone who says we shouldn't have to "train it" or "break it in" I say that for the price and all the leather we are getting I can train mine a little bit As long as the bag looks good and lasts at least a couple of years I'm happy. I won't spend thousands on a bag just so it's already perfectly soft and hangs just the way I want.

Reward it with treats every time it follows the command?

Here is a link to the original video

KJPA, I'd like to see this video, can you provide a link? I tried searching but only got Q videos on the bags. Thanks!

I understand there's a boarding school for them in New England, but it's very competitive and sort of pricey...

Positive reinforcement works.
