Re: scott kennels vs runs on concrete
I have both and like both.
I have poly max flooring in which you can purchase from farmtek which works out great. I am aware of a dog that got severely injured fro the Scott's kennel brand flooring. He still ain't right to this day

I use launchers consistently with my young dogs and I feel they are a great tool. The remote backer on the other hand,I have used and it works but I would much rather go and train with someone to work on backing than use it.

Given the standards of retrieving at our trials, and the low overall "degree of difficulty" I'm not sure I'd brag too much :) I look for dogs with a high degree of biddability, intelligence and trainability, along with ...

They have some horse or goat panels that work well. They come with 4x4 or 2x4 openings. Also they come 4' tall I believe.

flagging
Some dogs will grow out of it. There are lots of different reasons for flagging and is hard to give help without seeing the dog. lack of intensity,to much pressure (especially to young) and other reasons. Dogs that lack drive often flag on pont which goes back to the importantance of good breeding.

He is still young but each dog is different and with care and caution you can train whoa without any problems (very softly). The dog in my avatar started whoa training at about 5 months and has done no apparent harm. He is now 8 months olds pointing a pigeon in that pic.
