RETRIEV-R-TRAINER
- When it's the point in your dog's training that it's time to get the dummies
waaaay out there, this is the ticket. Powered by special .22 cal. blanks (obtainable
through us and many other sporting dog supply outfits, or your local lumber
yard). Designed for use with special launcher dummies. In our view, this is
the best one on the market, and it comes with a three-year manufacturer's
warranty. We highly recommend that you also purchase a hip-stock. We don't
sell this equipment as a kit because we feel that our prices are such that
you can save money by deciding for yourself which items you want.
RETRIEV-R-TRAINER HIP/SHOULDER STOCK - Fits on the Retriev-R-Trainer. Helps you launch dummies even further,
and, most importantly, enables one-hand launches, leaving one hand free for steadying dog.
LAUNCHER POWER LOADS - .22 cal blanks for the Retriev-R-Trainer. Color-coded rounds packaged in boxes of 100. Available in Light (green), Medium (yellow), and Heavy (red)
Shipping Note: Orders containing blanks cannot be shipped via air service.
LAUNCHER DUMMIES
- These are the standard foam dummies for power launchers and will fit all
standard launchers, in red or white, with tails (flappers). We offer these
at the same or better price than most others list the same dummies without
the tails. If you don't like the tail, just cut it off. We do not carry canvas
launcher dummies because of their heavy recoil, and more importantly, because
they are not intended for water use.
PLASTIC KNOBBY DUMMIES
- We've used these Lucky Dog dummies for many years with complete satisfaction,
and they're the only throwing dummy we now use. The valve is a unique and
useful feature - squish some air out to flatten the center of the dummy to
encourage a center carry or suck some water in to add weight for longer throws.
We recommend orange, which appears gray to the dog, to make your dog use his
nose rather than his eyes. When you want the dog to be able to see the dummy
more readily, use either the black and white marbled color or the 50/50 black
and white ones - one end is black, the other white. It's our opinion that
either of these latter two color choices completely eliminate the need for
the trainer to have both solid white and solid black dummies. Regular size
is 2 x 12", Jumbos are 3 x 12".
CANVAS DUMMIES -
We stock two sizes - Puppy, which is 2 x 9", and Medium, which is 3 x 12".The medium size is a weighted canvas
dummy with an attached throw rope in natural canvas color. They throw better
than most canvas dummies, float high, and can be used with scent for tracking
training on land. The puppy size is made of fire hose and has a grommet for
rope attachment, if you wish.
WHITE FOAM DUMMY WITH INTEGRATED THROW ROPE - This foam dummy is super lightweight, easy to carry and throw, and has an integrated throw rope. It's great to stick in a wasteband or back pocket when you're just out for a walk with your dog. It only weights 4 oz., and measures 2" X 10". Puppies love it, too. Details
DOKKEN DEAD FOWL DUMMIES
- The Dokken Dead Fowl retriever training dummies are extremely popular with trainers of the retriever and versatile breeds. The bodies are made of a soft, giving foam to approximate a life-like feel for the dogs. The
free-swinging head and feet are made of hard plastic. The design encourages proper pick-up, hold and delivery since most dogs will prefer the body hold to avoid the hard plastic head and feet. These foam dummies will continue to float even if punctured. Available in Mallard or Bluewing Teal. Details
THORN DUMBBELL - The Thorn wooden training dumbbell has small dowel rods drilled into the squared ends and a smooth round larger dowel mouthpiece. All edges are sanded smooth for safety and comfort. This tried-and-true style is used world-wide for schutzhund and retriever training to teach and encourage proper pick-up, hold, carry and delivery. Details
MESH DUMMY BAG - This handy item keep your training dummies neatly stowed in your vehicle, garage, or barn, ready to grab and go. Available in one size: Large (15" x 15", holds 12 of the 2" knobbies). Details
BUMPER BAG - This black mesh bag will keep your training bumpers and Dokken dummies neatly stowed in
your vehicle, garage, or barn, ready to grab and go. It will hold up to 30 of the 2" knobbies or 12 Dokken ducks. It measures 22" X 7" X 19". Details
NEOPRENE DOG VEST - Regardless of breed, a great way to help your dog retain energy while doing cold water work (or, more importantly, while sitting in the blind afterward).
