Training Bumpers

[Rick Hall]

The trouble I've had with the only Lucky Dog I've owned (read: found) was that orange one eventually melted, for lack of a better term, in the bumper bucket in the bed of my truck. Don't know if it was the sun or contact with other bumper or bucket compounds, but it got very tacky. Don't know if the white ones do the same or even if that orange one was an anomaly.

Found one of these in my truck.
Has JS printed on the end in permanent marker.

Do you have any tips for solvents to use for removing the initials?

No tips for you........but I am more amazed that you could find anything in the back of that truck, much less one of my bumpers..........

I've had great luck with Scott bumpers. They have no valves and seem to last forever. Does anyone know who sells them? I have no idea where I bought them.

I use Lucky Dog bumpers and recommend them to everyone.

I dislike the valved bumpers. Seems like they always get heavy and need emptying, and the valves fall off.

I prefer the Hallmark plastic bumpers. They have no valves to break, are not to soft or to hard.

In the winter time I use canvas bumpers, summer plastic.

I have been using the orginal "Lucky Dog" bumpers and have had great success with them. Plus you can adjust them or fill them w/ water or sand for force fetch. Currently GDS has them for $3.70 and they are $4.99 ay LCS. Just ordered some more last week.

Lucky dog is what I use and they're the best I think. Not too hard and not too soft. www.gundogsupply.com has the best buy on them usually and Steve Snell's company is awesome to work with and very helpful!

I prefer the LuckyDOG canvas dummy, it offers a more bird like feel and it also absorbs some of the drool the dog has when training. I also like to use the LuckyDOG plastic dummies for dog the have a hard mouth and because they are cheaper. The Dokken bird dummies are a great tool as well
