The Retriev-R-Trainer, Basic Kit is a comprehensive solution for all your retriever training needs. This kit comes with a robust launcher, a white canvas dummy and 100 medium loads, ensuring you have everything you need to train your dog effectively and efficiently.
The Original RRT Basic Kit is specifically designed to maximize your retriever's performance by propelling dummies further, faster, and with heightened accuracy. This dynamic action not only stimulates your retriever's natural instinct to retrieve but also provides a great way to exercise your gun dog.
Uniquely, the "shot" propelling the dummy is almost simultaneous with the flight of the dummy, making the training experience more realistic and exciting for your dog. The launcher, part of the RRT Basic Kit, is capable of throwing a dummy almost the length of a football field - well over 225 feet. This impressive distance can be easily varied by altering the charge fired and the angle used to launch the dummy.
Safety is a core feature of the RRT Basic Kit. The launcher is safe to use with the specified charges, and its design ensures your hands are never in any danger zone. Since it's not a firearm, no permit or registration is required. The launcher is made from durable metal designed to last for years, and the rubber handle ensures a secure grip for optimal control.
In brief, the Original RRT Basic Kit is the perfect tool for enhancing your retriever's training, offering a safe, fun, and effective method to instill their natural desire to retrieve.
- 1 Launcher
- 1 White canvas dummy
- 100 Medium loads
With consistent session planning and field-ready setup, trainers can structure drills that build mark, handling, and recall under realistic field conditions. Regular cleaning of the metal launcher after damp or muddy sessions helps maintain smooth operation, while wiping the canvas dummy keeps its shape and buoyancy consistent. Dry storage minimizes corrosion risk, and a simple inspection routine before each session helps spot wear on the grip, barrel, or connectors. Use the supplied 100 medium loads to vary launch distance, from short recalls to long-mark retrieves typical of upland or waterfowl work. Adjusting charge and angle lets you reproduce different terrain and cover without changing equipment. The safety-focused design keeps hands away from the release zone, supporting confident training days in open fields or marsh margins. When used in field trials or training sessions, pair the kit with standard recall and line-handling drills to reinforce natural retrieving instincts. This setup remains ready for the next field training day.
