Jake, try a dummy with a strip of material hooked to it (you can buy dummies like that). Also, try rolling up a shoe replacement insole (foam and gel insole), making 2 total. They bounce (action) and are lite. My pup loves them.

My GSP is almost 4 months old and I've been working on retrieving with him for a few weeks now. He has done fairly well, but he loses interest in the bumper pretty easily. I'm using a plain canvas bumper, should I try tying a wing to it as well or maybe just keep the sessions short? I usually work him for about 5-10 min before something else catches his attention

Thank you for this video lol. I am new to training hunting dogs and we have a 15 week old puppy. Always wondered why there was a loop on the bumper HAHA! I see now.
