By: buyer from northern NYGerman Shepard. Pet. I'm so glad I purchased the Petsafe instant fence. My dog no longer goes into the road, bothers the grandchildren when they are playing baseball or chases our beef cattle. Love that fence.5 1035 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 08-20-2011

By: Richard Ellis From FlHunting dog. I don't recall seeing a warning about how strong these things are, but it had been about 13 years since I last used one of these. The first time I tried to test it out it came out of my hand and I lost the dummy. This is purely a user error.
Definitely loud, and very strong. Only use this where you have 100+ yards of clear area to train in.5 1832 Dummy launcher

By: Peter Richmond from WA2 dogs: English Springer Spanual. Pet. Hunting dog. It works great. The only issue is if you use the largest load it is very hard on your wrist but other loads don't hurt. 5 1845 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 05-02-2011

By: Michael Brown from CALab. Pet. Hunting dog. I really like this product to add distance and excitement to training. It is not the best for marking work as the bumper is being launched from the line and is not being thrown out in the field. But for someone that is training by them selves, as I do most of the time, it is a great item to have.5 1849 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 04-15-2011

By: Kevin Cranford from IL4 dogs: Italiano Spinone. Pet. Hunting dog. Competition dog. The launcher shoots the dummy a long way. The first time I used it I was amazed, not knowing what to expect. I got the combination of knowing whether my dogs were gun shy and training them to retrieve the dummy on land and water. I like it alot. I recommend it to anyone who wants to train their hunting dogs or even just for fun watching their dog retrieve in water or land.5 1976 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 09-15-2006

By: Richard Kemman from WA2 dogs: field bred english cocker. field bred english springer spaniel. Hunting dog. Competition dog. If you have to train alone, the Retriev-R-Trainer is a valuable tool in the steadying process. Our traing group also uses them for re-enforcing steadiness by lining up our steady dogs and sending one at a time while the others stay seated (hupped) during the retrieve. This process is repeated until all dogs get atleast one retrieve.5 2035 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 09-21-2009

By: Angela Baker from MOLab. Pet. We have an average size home and yard and the unit is placed in the garage. Her collar can alert her at random places in the yard. We followed manuf. recomendations and the largest metal object is the garage door near the unit but it's not the best training tool for a new pet b/c the boundaries can change surprisingly.4 1030 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 07-25-2011

By: Sean from GALab. Pet. Hunting dog. Works well and fires the dummy alot higher and farther than I could possibly throw it. The sound when it's fired is REALLY loud. My dog doesn't have any trouble standing next to me when I fire my shotgun. However, when I fire this he always tries to back away a few feet. We'll see if he gets used to it but it's alot louder than I expected from a .22 cal charge. Overall it serves it's purpose and works well for launching dummies.4 1833 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 06-11-2009

By: Jeremy Lewis from LALabrador. Pet. Hunting dog. Pros: Better than throwing dummies by hand all the time. Adds sound and distance.
Cons: Once dummy gets wet, launcher does not shoot it as far as when dry.
Warning: the launcher does have some kick to it even though it is only a 22 blank, don't take it for granted.4 1834 retriev-r-trainer

By: Lisa2 dogs: golden retriever. Competition dog. Handy, light, excellent tool.
However, basic launcher dummies aren't that good.
Plastic plate in the bottom breaks easily in winter. Also I have had some minor difficulty with wet dummies - insetad of loud bang thre is only soft puff.
Anyway, I'm very satisfied for it's performance.4 1911 Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher ---- 08-23-2011

By: Keith Accardo from LAlabrador retriever. Pet. Hunting dog. Well, the first three times I used this launcher, the training was great. I used the yellow .22 blanks, and took proper care of the launcher and launcher dummies. However, the fourth time I took the launcher out for training, I launched 3 dummies. On the fourth shot, nothing happened. I checked the launcher and blanks thoroughly and could not find any problems. 2 1841 |

RETRIEV-R-TRAINER Dummy Launcher "Set"
Combines the sound of the shot with the flight of the dummy. 
      
Restricted shipping. ONLY available in US48 via UPS Ground.
Our BEST SELLING Hand-Held Launcher!
The Retrieve-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher combines the sound of the shot with the flight of the dummy. Varying distances from 100' to 200' can be attained accurately and easily by using different power loads and dummies. The Retrieve-R-Trainer launcher is guaranteed for 3 years from date of purchase against factory defects.
Note: The Retriev-R-Trainer should only be used with dogs which have already been satisfactorily conditioned to
gunfire. The use of "heavy" loads will shorten the useful life of the dummies. Increased distance can be obtained by using the plastic dummies and by varying the angle of fire. You will need to do some crossing patterns any way so enlist some help to fire dummies when you need to work at longer distances. For safety purposes, we recommend that you handle the Retriev-R-Trainer as you would a firearm.
To prevent molding or premature deterioration, dry dummy thoroughly following retrieves in water.
The Retriever-Trainer set includes the dummy launcher, one white canvas dummy, instructions and 50 medium loads.
