The tails on the dummy help make the dummy standout and helps my dog concentrate on marking it

Works great!
June 15, 2024
I like the extra distance I get with this dummy as I am always training by myself.
Pros
  • Seems durable. Streamers make it easier for the dog to see.
Cons
  • None so far.

Loves it
April 16, 2024
This item like all the others I have gotten from gun dog supply it is a great fit to our training needs. He went nuts the second he seen me take it out of the package and it added the long range retrieve to our daily routine. I will definitely be buying more in the future.
Pros
  • Dog loves it and easy to see and adds the longer range needed for training.

Best launcher dummies
November 7, 2023
These are replacements. It took 12 years to wear the originals out.

Phenomenal

These are great especially for younger dog’s learning to mark far! The black and white with the streamer makes it very easy for them to see way out in 100+yd marks
Cons
  • None

Launcher Dummy with Streamers in Use!
April 25, 2023
Worked well for getting my Field Bred English Springer Spaniel to mark longer falls better. The streamers seem to make the dummy easier for him to see.

Good small size launcher dummy
April 27, 2022
Small and colorful. Use to train water retrieving w/o using the bigger and much heavier bird sized dummies. Streamers at end are a nice touch
Pros
  • Small & lightweight, colorful, tail streamers
Cons
  • Material is not very tough, can see it breaking down after getting launched and mouthed a few times.

My young Boykin loves it.
July 7, 2021
My young Boykin loves this dummy. The streamers make it almost look like a real bird. The outer cover is very nice. At 17 weeks, he was fetching it well both on dry land and in the water.
Pros
  • Easy for dogs and humans to see.
  • Floats very well.
  • Great product.
Cons
  • None really.

Less distance than those without streamers
April 14, 2021
I'm not a aircraft engineer but I believe that the streamers cause drag therefore decreasing the distance over those without the streamers. As for my purposes, I do not see the benefit of the streamers compared to he dummies without. That said, they have held up well and after numerous launches the streamers are still intact. They might be more beneficial for a young pup than an older dog.
Pros
  • Well made, holding up through multiple launches.
Cons
  • Less distance than those without streamers.

They launch far
November 9, 2020
They launch far. They are not as durable as I would have hoped. The streamer came off on the 2nd launch into grass. They work well for Mark’s or setting quick blinds.
Pros
  • Distance
Cons
  • Durability

Flies well but black paint coming off right away and I agree with another review could be a bit bigger. I would just get the white on next time.

Very useful
September 4, 2020
This shoots far enough that my dog needs to take a line from me to get it. He has learned to trust me when I send him in a direction.
Pros
  • Doesn't get waterlogged
  • Great distance with the yellow loads

This is a very well made product and I ran a box of blanks thru to the point I need to get more blanks. I expect that will stand the test of time

Flies well, but it's a little small for a soft mouth dog to hang on to. I think it should be a little longer.

Dummy floated high, and my lab was able to locate it while in water despite a stiff breeze causing it to drift.

I like the coating on it. It might hold up better than the one that came with my lucky launcher, but my lucky launcher is still holding up to all the abuse. Still one of my labs favorite dummies to retrieve.

I love the product, when not defective. I spoke with your support people yesterday regarding the two I recently received. Ya'll are sending me two replacements and I am returning the two defective ones to your business, so that the manufacturer can investigate the flaws that affected the other two. Your customer service is beyond compare!

Seems to fit a bit tighter than the originals, but it may be that the originals are well used. Very good quality. I'm very happy with them.

April 26, 2016
Loved it until the top blew out causing the foam to mushroom towards the base after about 50-100 shots. However it still works and still gets good distance. Overall has really helped my young dog to associate a shot with looking up and out for a falling projectile.

For some reason it doesn't shoot off the launcher real good. Only 2 shots out of 4 of them will go about 10 yards. It's really tight around the tube on the launcher!! But when it does do right, it shoots real good!!

Great dummy, I can tell that my dog marks better with the flags on the dummy. Still need to try it in the water to see how it holds up.

The material this is made out of is too soft. I see it being destroyed in less than 100 retrieves. Doesn't fly any further than the more dense plastic one, which is way more durable.

Works great for marks. Shoots quite a bit farther than I expected, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It feels more like a type of foam rather than plastic, but the dog doesn't seem to care, so neither do I.

Haven't use the new product from your store, but I've used them for years. The Lucky Dog Launcher is a good tool to train your retriever.

The white and black flags flutter when launched and get the dogs attention. Does not go as far as the canvass dummy, however, due to increased weight. Still launches a solid 80 yards. Dog prefers these launcher dummies to the handthrown bumpers hands down. Great buy.
