By: Kyle Barfield from GA2 dogs: Labrador Retriever. Hunting dog. Hexabumbers do a great job of encouraging the right hold for a dog. The design is great and the bumpers are durable.

By: Freddie Blanchard2 dogs: Labrador Retriever. Pet. Hunting dog. Competition dog. Working dog. I am not a professional dog trainer but I train my dogs on an average 3 � 4 days a week year round. I love to duck hunt and in the off season run UKC hunt test. I think I have used just about every bumper available and now buy the Avery Hex Bumper exclusively. It works well for all age dogs. I like its solid, sealed construction because you can go from land to water and not have to worry about it sinking. The bumpers weight, size and rope are great for getting not only distance but when needed, the height. The throw rope size and quality is also easy on your hand which is great when training in groups having multiple dogs. The hex bumper is also easy to clean. Lightly brushing with soap and water will clean these bumpers restoring the white needed for the dog to see it when working on long marks during low light conditions which, to protect your dog from the heat, is when you train during the summer months in Louisiana. 5 2079 HexaBumper B/W Regular Flasher---- 07-12-2011

By: Gina Taguchi from OK2 dogs: Golden Retriever. Pet. Hunting dog. Competition dog. I really like these bumpers! They are heavy enough to carry a straight line when thrown in the strong Oklahoma wind, but still light enough that my 9 year old daughter can throw them a reasonable distance for training. I also like the black and white color because it gets the younger dog's attention better than the one color bumpers I was using. Would recommend these to a friend and would buy more for myself. 5 2146 b/w hex bumper

By: Clent Hughes from GAYellow Lab Male. Hunting dog. I have had a good experience with the Avery Hexabumpers. I have several brands of training bumpers and the Avery Hexabumpers have held up well. If I had any complaint at all, it would be the pliability of the material in cold weather. The bumpers do get very hard in cold weather. However, I believe the durabilty of the product out weighs the hardness in cold weather. Overall. very satisfied. Clent5 2164 HexaBumper B/W Regular Flasher---- 08-07-2009

By: Fred Schoelier from NYblack lab. Hunting dog. Working dog. I have these in large and small, and in orange. They seem to put up with plenty of use, the flashers are easy for the dog to see and track, even in low light. Work for me runs late and starts early often, and she can keep track of them at 4 am and 10 pm as easily as high noon. The hex shape is easy for her to handle, and seems to encourage proper carry, or at least with these she carries from the middle, as opposed to trying to grab the ends. They do trap mud and dirt quite a bit, but I have thrown them in the washer or dish washer, top rack, when nobody is home to rat me out, and they take each equally as well. I have had these for nearly a year now, and while the cloth bumpers have worn out these keep going. All in all, a great, sturdy, easy to throw investment that takes abuse and use. I will use these bumpers only from here out, and if you are looking, you should buy these.5 2246 HexaBumper B/W Regular Flasher---- 06-23-2011

HexaBumper B/W Regular FlasherThe HexaBumper is the first bumper innovation in years!
Free Throw Rope included with every dummy!
Colors:
- White is the most common bumper because it is visible on most backgrounds.
- Use Black when the HexaBumper's trajectory is on a brightly lit background such as mid-day sky.
- Use Orange for blind retrieves since dogs cannot distinguish it.
- The Flasher is perfect for mark training! Alternating panels create a "strobe" that is visible to dogs on most backgrounds.
Size:
2" HexaBumpers are:
- Fine for normal training of large dogs.
- Easier for young or small dogs to retrieve.
- Great when training with a lot of bumpers.
- 2" x 10"
Innovation:
The HexaBumper is the first bumper innovation in years! The 6-sided design offers advanced technology that eliminates many disadvantages of round bumpers. R&D plus relentless testing by top pros and hard-core dog enthusiasts has proven incredible results!
Features:
- VGrips promote soft mouth with superior hold
- Firmer feel helps reduce chomping tendency
- Six flag sides offer dogs easier grip & hold
- Valveless design will never take on water
- 10" floating throw rope included
Pro's Tips:
Your dog can't mark what he can't see so be fair to him by selecting the appropriate color bumper for each scenario. Training situations change often and can vary from one mark to the next in the same set up so make sure you have several of each color bumper when you head out for training. This simple rule of thumb will help you maximize your training time and efficiency.
Help your dog be successful!
Jeremiah Harston
Sporting Dog Specialist
Avery Pro-Staff
Round up your bumpers and store them in a bag or bucket at the end of each training session. A bumper that is lying around becomes an invitation to a young dog to chew on. Not only is this negative reinforcement to your dog's mark training, but it is almost sure to get you an expensive and unnecessary trip to your vet's office. If you keep it simple, you'll avoid complications!
