Chain Gangs

Let your bird dog watch and wait his turn to retrieve with the use of a heavy-duty chain gang. The chain gang keeps a number of dogs organized, so you can work with one dog while the others watch. It also helps teach young dogs an association with the collar and lead - the pull of the chain being similar to the pull of the lead. Dogs on the chain can watch a lead dog train and work birds from a short distance away. After a few times watching the lead dog, the chained dogs will be ready for their turn to do the same. It works like a charm for dogs that are tentative or hardheaded. Choose from a 10-Section Chain, or a 4-Section Chain, each a valuable tool for dog field training. Chains are made of heavy-gauge link, with sections spaced 6 ft apart, with the dropper chain measuring 1.5 ft. Dropper includes a heavy-duty brass, swivel-style collar clip for attaching to dog's collar. Anchoring stakes must be purchased separately.

A chain gang is particularly useful for dogs that have little interest in birds or in training in general. By chaining them out with dogs that are eager for birds or eager to do the work and then letting them watch as dogs that are loose in the field are trained, the enthusiastic dogs on the chain tend to get the ones with little interest fired up. Many will even lunge and jump while watching the lead dogs work.
