Gunners Up Stickman Product Review

April 23, 2017 by Joe Scarpy

Review of the Gunners Up Stickman

Whether or not you intend to run trials with your gun dog, stickman drills are an indispensable part of your dog’s training to impart focus and control. A Gunners Up Stickman is beneficial for:

Long range marking
General training
Improved memory
Better use of visual cues
Improved marking with no gunner present

Gunners Up has two stick men for your training needs: the adjustable height stickman, and the diamond stickman.

The adjustable height Gunners Up Stickman is the first ever that can be adjusted according to your needs. There are four height settings, and the stickman can stand 47 inches, 58 inches, 70 inches, and 82 inches tall. This wide range of adjustability is perfect for all types of long range training. In addition, this stick man is easy to store, with dimensions of only 47 inches long by 5 inches wide when folded. Furthermore, this stickman has a t-bar that can be used to hang a shirt or another identifying object on, and can also be paired with the retired stickman electronics to create a more advanced training tool.

New from Gunners Up is the diamond stickman, which has a powder-coated aluminum black frame and a white, diamond-shaped nylon flag made from 500 Denier Cordura nylon. When unfolded the stick man is 5 feet tall and 28 inches wide. Also included with the diamond stickman is a protective sleeve for carrying. This stick man is inserted into the ground with a stomp step, and when not unfolded stands 5’4’’ tall and 2’’ wide.

Unsure which stickman is right for you? The adjustable height stickman is a great accessory for any hunter who may want to also perform retired gunner drills or who is looking to do extra-long range training. The diamond stickman takes the hassle out of hanging a t-shirt on a pole and hoping it stays there throughout the day. Regardless of your choice, you are guaranteed a quality product.

Pet Containment Options

April 21, 2017 by Joe Scarpy

5 Best Pet Containment Options

When you bring a new dog home an important consideration is how you will keep your pet contained in your house and yard. There may be certain areas indoors that you wish to keep your pet away from, such as the room with all-white upholstery, or you may be seeking a way to keep your pet in the yard without having to spend the time or effort building a privacy fence. Five of the best pet containment options are discussed here.

Dog Run
A dog run is a fenced in area of your yard that safely contains your pets, even ones that are known escape artists. With a variety of sizes and heights available (even those with roofs overhead), there is certainly a style that is appropriate for your pet. Two major benefits are easy installation and lack of training required in order to use this pet containment system. Five of the best pet containment options are discussed here.

Invisible Fence
An invisible fence is comprised of fence wire that is buried 4 – 6’’ underground that transmits a continuous radio signal. An unlimited number of dogs can be contained with this system, so long as they each wear a radio receiver on their collars. When the dog nears the property boundary a beep or vibration will emit from the collar, followed by an electronic shock if the dog continues towards the fencing wire. This system is ideal for owners with large

amounts of property that would be costly to enclose, or those who prefer the natural look of their yard.

Wireless Fence
A wireless fence works on the same principles as the invisible fence, except that instead of burying wire underground a radio transmitter is plugged into an outlet and a radio barrier is emitted in an adjustable area. Like the invisible fence, the dog wears a radio transmitter collar and receives a warning before the shock. This option is great for dog owners that travel with their pets or want a convenient solution without the hassle of burying fencing wire.

Dog Gate
For indoor pet containment, a dog gate can be a great solution for keeping pets out of unwanted areas. Many gates can be adjusted to fit any size door frame or height. Unlike a baby gate which is often easily knocked over by persistent pets, a dog gate is created with durability in mind to keep even the most stubborn dogs from entering areas they don’t belong.

Indoor Wireless Gate
A second solution to keeping your pet in or out of a single room is to set up a wireless barrier. Similar to the wireless or invisible fence, a radio signal is generated that induces a shock to a dog that is wearing the proper radio receiver collar. This method is great for high traffic areas that you do not want blocked off.

Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit Review

April 5, 2017 by Joe Scarpy

Review of Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit

When teaching a dog to track raccoon, the hound is only as good as the scent product used during training. Pete Rickard’s is known for producing some of the best training scents in the industry. The Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit contains everything a hunter needs to train his or her dog to dependably trail raccoon.

Included in the Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit are:

Pro Coon Drag Dog Training Dummy
1 ¼ oz Raccoon Training Scent
Dual Tone Training Whistle with Lanyard
Dog Training Booklet

When it comes to raccoon trailing, the dummy that hunters use is important. Instead of a retrievable piece of canvas and foam that waterfowlers use, coon hunters require an item that can easily be dragged across the ground to create a trail. The Pete Rickard’s Pro Coon Drag is 2 ¾’’ x 12’’, and is the perfect size for teaching your hound dog to follow the coon scent. Unlike other training dummies, the design of this coon drag is flat, which is best for laying a training track. Grommets on each end of the dummy are rustproof. The canvas material holds scent well, which is ideal for training.

Perhaps the most important consideration, however, when teaching your hound dog to track raccoon is the use of a high quality scent product. The Pete Rickard’s brand has led the hunting and trapping industry in scent products for over 85 years. The Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Training Scent contains only natural musks and animal extracts, which will greatly aid a hound dog’s training.

A coon dog can easily become separated from his or her owner while tracking and treeing a raccoon. Teaching your hound to respect whistle tones is important, both for safety and obedience. A whistle with more than one tone, such as Pete Rickard’s Dual Tone Training Whistle, is great for teaching your dog to respect multiple commands from a distance. The included lanyard ensures you never misplace your whistle again.

The exclusive training booklet provided in this kit provides tips and tricks for the proper training of your raccoon dog.

Benefits of the Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit

This training kit contains two products that are important for the successful training of a raccoon dog: high quality scent and a raccoon drag. Hunters will save time and money by purchasing both items at once in this convenient kit.

Limitations of the Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit
There are no limitations to the purchase of this kit. Even for veteran dog owners, the products that are included are staple items that should be found in every hunter’s training arsenal. No one can ever have too many dummies, training whistles, or high quality scent products!

Who Benefits Most from Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit?
Anyone who is interested in training his or her hound to track and trail raccoons – no matter the level of training experience – will benefit from this training kit. The convenience of tried-and-true products in one package is unparalleled.

Similar Products in the Pete Rickard’s Line
For hunters of other types of game, Dog and Puppy training kits are also available for sportsmen and women who specialize in duck, grouse, pheasants, and rabbit hunting and tracking.

Bottom Line
The Pete Rickard’s Raccoon Hound Dog Training Kit contains essential items for training a coon hound. Without reliable scent and a good coon drag, dog training will require more time and effort. This kit is perfect for all raccoon hunters, no matter their level of training experience.
