Lion Country Supply: Hunting Dog Supplies Review

TriTronics G2 Pro 100

Reviewed by: Gary Laskowsky - LCS Telephone Specialist

I’ve been using the Tri Tronics 100 Series now for over 15 years. Starting with the 100 Lite and continuing through the Pro100 XL and XLS. I find that this training collar to be most reliable. With years of using Tri Tronics it’s even got better with the new G2PRO100. Being a trainer breeder of Labrador Retrievers, I find this to be a valuable training tool. It can be expandable to 3 dogs, has a quick two-hour charging capability. It also gives me the exact correction level for multiple dogs.  I highly recommend the TriTronics Pro 100.

LCS Kwik-Stop Stytic Power

Reviewed by: Jack Sankey - LCS Telephone Specialist

This is without a doubt the best product we have ever used at home for our dog nail-trimming chores.  Keeping the nails at reasonable length is a very important part of canine foot care and health.  This product is far better than any of the styptic liquids we used in the past.  When we are trimming our dogs’ nails and accidentally get too close to the vein, we get the ‘Kwik-Stop’ out and apply it immediately.  Once you’ve tried it, I’m sure you will agree it’s the fastest-acting styptic available.

Pet-Tabs Plus - Daily Vitamin Mineral Supplement

Reviewed by: Jack Sankey - LCS Telephone Specialist

If you want a special treat for your dog that is sure to please them and build their health at the same time, consider the Pet-Tabs Plus product.  My dogs love the taste of these tablets and look forward to their special “treat” each evening.  I think they would polish off the whole bottle if we permitted them.  The tablets easily broken in half for smaller dogs under 20 lbs.  Dogs over 20 lbs. may have a whole tablet each day.

Give them a try and see if your dogs love them as much as mine!

LCS Umbrella Holder and Camo Umbrella

Reviewed by: Randy Carlson – LCS General Manager

I used the LCS Adjustable Umbrella Stand (and camo umbrella) while judging at a recent multi-day NAHRA Hunt Test this summer.  The forecast was for sunny days, with scattered showers and I hoped it would be useful for both conditions.  The rain held off, but the sun was intense most days.  Having the shade in the middle of a field to retire to from time to time was great.  The unit is stable and holds the umbrella securely while casting a large amount of shade.  The umbrella will withstand up to a 20 mph breeze, but above that it will turn inside out. 

The use that really excites me about this is the upcoming dove season in September.  Hunting with a black lab, I am always concerned about her overheating on warm days.  This unit will be perfect for keeping her in the shade between retrieves!

Universal Bird Launcher

Reviewed by: Randy Carlson – LCS General Manager.

I have been using the Universal Bird Launcher for steady to flush training with my lab.  I have found the unit to be reliable and easy to use.  It accepts quail, chuckars and pigeons, but is too small for pheasants and ducks.  It launches a pigeon about 12 feet into the air before they start flapping.  The range on the electronics is very good, up 400 yards depending on terrain. 

The unit is light and easy to carry into the field, simple to operate, and most importantly to me provide reliable launches when training.  The transmitter is small and compact, and also can be programmed to launch multiple units from the same transmitter.  I would purchase this launcher again.

Frontline Plus

Reviewed by: Jack Sankey - LCS Customer Service

This product really works! We have two dogs and like in a very remote, wooded area. Our dogs spend a lot of time outdoors. Ticks and fleas are a very real threat. Since we have begun using this product, we have not seen any fleas or ticks on our dogs. I would recommend purchasing Frontline Plus to anyone who has dogs and especially to those who live in an area where ticks are prevalent.

Natures Miracle

Reviewed by: Jack Sankey - LCS Customer Service

We use this product extensively at home. We have two Pomeranians in the house who are very much a part of our family. The elder Pom is a 10-year-old female who has a lot of medical problems and often has accidents in the house. Natures Miracle gas been amazing in cleaning, removing stains and neutralizing odor. The ingredients are safe and all natural. Our household would never be without a bottle of Natures Miracle readily available.

Tritronics Classic 70

Reviewed by: John Sarver – LCS Warehouse

I have owned the same Tritronics Field 70 for fourteen years and am completely satisfied with it. Its five levels of stimulation make it well suited for any dog from sensitive to stubborn. I have used it on some heard-headed labs (levels 3 and 4) and  a sweet/soft Springer (levels 1 and 2) with good results.

The newer version, the Classic 70, has even more versatility with six levels of continuous and six levels of momentary stimulation and is expandable to three dogs. Over the years my Field 70 has been the most dependable and durable piece of training equipment that I own. View additional details about the new Tritronics Classic 70 here.

Better Stake Out

Reviewed by: Amy Bravis – LCS Warehouse

The Lion Country Supply Better Stake Out is a great way to tie out your dog. The stake out has a swiveling top that rotates as your dog moves so the chain won’t get tangled from the dog walking in circles. I use one at my home and keep one in my vehicle for trips to family and friends houses.

The Better Stake Out is available only from Lion Country Supply.

With the exploding popularity of The Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System, many users are looking for accessories that will make their Astro even more powerful in the woods.

You install the memory card into your Astro and connect it to your computer. Once your computer recognizes the Astro, you install and run the MapSource software and select what areas you want to send to the Astro.

This is an excellent accessory and we strongly recommend it for anyone who uses the Garmin Astro.
