I have hunting retrievers and like to train them during the off season to keep them sharp and focused. For this video, I wonder about training in the behavior that it is OK to drop a bird to pick up another one. In the field, that would result in the possible loss of the first bird. But I can see the benefit for non-hunting dogs.
@catinmt Haven't seen that as a problem. Also a dog does not go off looking for bumpers instead of birds either which would be the same type of argument.
@fredhassen I do like the baseball diamond approach so this is what I'll do: dog sitting at home, toss the bumpers out over the bases, send the dog after each, one at a time and in the order you decide. That should help them with lining, control and focus. Thank you for the good ideas - keep 'em coming.
love the fact that they take the bumper with thats great stuff.. i have a remmington launcher that shoots 22 blanks it makes a BIG bang not so sure i could use it in town cops will freak im sure..
Hey, check out my Labrador video.... He is literally the fastest dog I've ever seen... not to mention, he jumps very high

I don't like to have the dog exchanging the bumper... If he's doing so in a competion...your're out, it's a major fault.
