For the hunter, the pointing dog is an extension of the gun. But a pointer doesn't come out of the womb knowing how to hold a point on a pheasant. They must be trained. And you cannot train a bird dog with a tennis ball. You need the scent of the bird. Quailz.com offers Premium Quail Wings and Training Kits to bridge the gap between the backyard and the field.

The Olfactory Science

A dog's nose is capable of detecting parts per trillion. Synthetic "quail scent" in a bottle captures the chemical signature, but it lacks the complexity of the real animal.

• Real Wings: Our wings are dehydrated to be shelf-stable but retain the natural oils of the skin and feathers. This teaches the dog to track the specific scent of the game bird, distinguishing it from "trash birds" (like songbirds) in the field.

Training Drills with Quailz Wings

1. The Wing-on-a-String: For puppies, attach a Quailz wing to a flirt pole. Drag it along the ground to stimulate the visual chase and point. The feather texture teaches the puppy what the bird feels like in the mouth.

2. Blind Retrieves: Hide the wing in tall cover. The dog must use its nose, not its eyes, to locate it. This builds confidence and focus.

3. Soft Mouth Training: Plastic dummies are hard. A real wing is delicate. Training with wings teaches the dog to hold the bird gently, preventing them from crushing the meat during retrieval.

Sourcing Matters

Using wild wings can be dangerous due to parasites or disease. Quailz.com wings are sourced from our monitored, healthy flocks and processed safely, ensuring you aren't introducing pathogens to your kennel.

Train as you hunt. Equip your gun dog with the authentic tools they need to succeed.
