One of our newest products is quickly becoming one of our best sellers. It's the Tip Up.

Made from rolled steel and expanded metal, this bird releaser is impervious to any and all weather conditions. The expanded metal allows for the bird scent to easily escape and entice your good dog. And while eager young dogs may get to the releaser before you do, its design will more often than not keep them from gaining access to the bird itself. Finally, we've added colorful tape to the end so that it's more easily found after a long day of training afield.

Our trusty bird planter heads out into the field with birds and Tip-Ups in tow:

Now the handler lets her dog out to hunt. After point is established, she steps on the end of the Tip-Up to silently release the bird:

If you're not at the stage where you can rely on the steadiness of your dog, you can have your training partner on the other end of the check cord while you give the whoa command.

If you're training by yourself, use Your Third Hand or the Whoa Stake to give you all the help you need to Make Your Good Dog Better!
