“Keep It Simple”
- 8′ Non static training rope used for early Control & Que training.
- 20′ Non static training rope used for quartering and extending the success zone.
- O-Ring collar properly fitted – 1″ SunGlo O-Ring collar @ Gun Dog Supply.
- Wonder Lead – don’t let your dog loose with this on!
- Durable Throw Bumper to begin early retrieve training.
- Whistle for early recall que recognition.
- Tie down stake. Important part of training, have one and use it!
- E-Collar – I recommend Garmin – Either a combo unit or keep the units separate.
- Training E-Collars we use – Garmin Pro 550 or the Pro 550+
- *GPS unit – I recommend Garmin Alpha – Majority of hunters use the Garmin Alpha 200 or 300i, sync’s up with other Alpha handhelds to help track dogs and handlers. You should not need an E-collar or GPS to start early training but you should start budgeting.
The proper training rope is an instrumental tool for Bird Dog trainers and handlers. I make these ropes for my clients or I can show you how to make them.
Tip: The ID plate on the collar can be used smartly to help ID and return a lost dog. Example of the information we add to our collars:
- MICROCHIPPED – AZ
- Needs Daily Meds – Reward!
- 602-xxx-xxxx
- 928-xxx-xxxx
