Bird Dogs and Quail Hunting
I highly recommend using an electronic training collar. The training collar is a training tool not a torture device. Therefore, I recommend that your dog be properly introduced to the training collar prior to its use. I like the e-collar with a beeper system. I prefer the e-collar that can control the beeper and e-collar from the transmitter. If you’re going to use beepers and bells, your dog has to be introduced to those devices also.
My wife and I are planning a bird hunt with Mike McGraw of Quality Quail Hunting Preserve.

You can place a beeper on your Pop Up Backing dog in order to teach your dog to honor the sound of a beeper. You can also place a bell on your Pop Up Backing dog; it helps to get your dog’s attention when it Pops Up. I don’t recommend using any of these devices the first time you introduce your dog to the Pop Up Backing dog. After your dog as been worked a few times on the Backing Process you can start adding these devices.
My Pop up backing dog can be activated remotely. If you have a remote controlled bird launcher, you can activate my pop up backing dog with it.
