HIGGINS REMOTE RELEASER pat. pend.
Article and videos of Releaser
The ultimate training aid! Let the bird do the training. These releasers don't launch the bird, they silently release him. Just work your dog into the area and remotely open the releaser. The lid slowly opens. Won't scare the bird. The bird is free to go if he feels pressured by the dog. A great, natural way to train. No more dizzied, tired or sleepy birds. Improves your timing too. With the Higgins Remote Releaser, just get in the area, open the releaser and get your focus back on the dog. The bird will do the rest. Great for stop to flush and steady to flush training too.
- Heavy duty construction, made in the USA
- Laser cut steel, optimal airflow
- Can be used with any launcher transmitter/receiver system (Dogtra, DT Systems, Innotek, Tri-tronics, Retriever Specialists)

The 45 minute interview with Bill West is here too.

Pinch Collars and Checkcords
Pinch Collar- The original and still the best. These are the pinch collars designed by Bill West. High quality, center cut leather with blunt, brass harness rivets on the inside. Won't hurt your dog but gets his attention.
Price: $35.00
Checkcords- These checkcords are custom made of 1/2" solid core rope. Easy on your hands, wont pick up debris and won't tangle in the brush. Heavy duty brass rope clamp and a large brass bull snap. Because the hasp on the snap pulls out to release, brush and weeds won't open it when your dog drags it. 12' long. Just right. Easy to manage.
Price: $18.00

Avatar Dog Training/Hunting Vest
I've tried every vest out there and this is the best by far. Designed for use by active dog trainers and hunters, the"Avatar" includes two full sized zippered bird compartments with 3 large pockets each and a large zippered game bag in back. Constructed of 1000 denier water and blood proof Cordura nylon fabric, this vest is worn comfortably by the user with highly adjustable shoulder straps and front closure. Pocket closures are best quality nylon zippers and solid brass snaps. Everything works one-handed easily, by left or right handers, with or without gloves. Heavy duty mesh panels on the 3 secure, zippered compartments assure plenty of air for live birds or quick cooling of killed game. Will carry Marshall receivers, or other popular receivers and antennas, in the back game bag compartment. Very popular with serious wing shooters, "Avatar" comes in hunter orange with shot shell loops in the front compartments. Made in the USA.
Sizing Guidelines:
Small: Under 110 lbs.
Medium: 110 to 180 lbs.
Large: 180 to 240 lbs.
X-Large: Over 240 lbs.
Price: $130.00
