Targeting takes your training to the next level by using the dog's natural visual abilities to teach precision behaviors. A target stick is the best tool for perfecting an off-lead heel, teaching "finish", agility movements and object names. This target stick is tough enough to use with dogs of any size. The telescoping sections are made of heavy-duty steel and have locking tabs to prevent it from collapsing in use. This is a professional quality tool - not just a repurposed radio antenna. Like all of Gary WIlkes' products, it is made to last for many years and satisfies his top standards for effectiveness and durability. From the creator of the method.
