Bumper Boy (remote dummy launch systems) I love these!
Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer (simulated dead birds with the feel of a shot bird)
Retriev-R Trainer (single hand dummy launch) I still have and use the one I bought 30 years ago. Tip,
don't use red's in it...  (also - hallmark dummy's for the launch work better then the retrieve-R dummies -
but the Hallmark Launches are not as good as the original Retriev-R launches


Notes to self or you if you care to hear
Note - I like the quality of the hallmark dummies best over all.
The flagman bumpers are nice - love the flags - it really helps
Valveless bumpers are best - on water marks the ones with valves eventually leak and may sink.
I loved tri-tronics collars and still have my old 200LR but I was not thrilled with the new 200LR I bought.
I have not tried the dogtra's but others appear to be happy with them.
I HATE the remington crates - the doors are of very poor quality and if the dog pushes or pulls hard
  enough they break or pop open.
Buy training scents - duck or pheasant - to start your pup - just a drop is enough - best thing is to let him chase
         and find pigeons as a baby.
Get your pup on birds early
