Want to teach our dog the skill of retrieving? The best tool in a retriever trainer’s training bag is the bumper. Bumpers come in many styles, shapes, colors, and materials. The most frequent question we get from customers is “What type of bumper do I need?” This largely depends on what type of training, how you plan on using the bumper, and even the time of year.

When considering the purchase of a bed for your canine friend, you may find yourself overwhelmed with the choices on the market. Dogs sleep or lounge up to 20 hours per day, mostly occurring at puppy and senior stages when dogs either exert more energy or tire out more quickly. Choosing the right bedding for your dog is essential.

Sleeping on the floor can result in pain and inflammation in pressure points, such as hips and elbows, that can eventually cause calluses and even sores (especially on elbows) after repeated getting up and down from a hard surface.

In our opinion, this is the best brush on the market for removing dead hair from your dogs. It is one of the more pricey brushes on the market, but it...

Heat exhaustion, or heat stroke, is a state of Hyperthermia, which is an elevated core body temperature that exceeds the normal range. This occurs when heat generation goes beyond the body’s ability to lose heat. Dogs are unable to sweat effectively, unlike humans, because their endocrine sweat glands are located on the pads of their paws. Instead, dogs make an effort to regulate their body temperature by panting. Much like dehydration in dogs, this condition can quickly become life-threatening, as heat exhaustion can cause permanent brain and organ damage if not dealt with promptly. 

Fleas and ticks are one of the many concerns dog owners may have, especially for sporting dogs that are often out hunting or training in the field. These pests infect pets year-round, potentially causing some serious harm if not put in check. It is very important to give your dog preventive treatment to stop fleas and ticks from biting them. Ticks can transmit a wide range of dangerous threats, such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Anaplasmosis while fleas can cause anemia and tapeworms. In the following blog post, I will outline the five typical types of treatments that you can use to help prevent your dogs from flea and tick bites this season.

In the following post we will compare the features of the Garmin Astro 320 to its upgraded replacement the Garmin Astro 430.

My good friend Jason Mowery introduced me to fox hunting at night with electronic game calls when I was a teenager. We used Johnny Stewart electronics with cassette tapes and after a few times out we called in and bagged my first gray fox in the mountains of northern Clearfield County, Pennsylvania with Jason as the caller. Jason's dad was a fox hunter and taught Jason well. At that time in the 1990's Johnny Stewart electronics worked, but were limited. In relative terms the sounds weren't clear and we had to fast forward or rewind to get particular sounds. We didn't know what we were doing but we knew we liked this night sport.
