These launchers are so awesome. We have used them to train a lot of dogs now....going into our 4th season with them, they are holding up so well. We haven't even changed rubbers yet. They have fired MANY a "duck" and they still keep throwing. I'd never buy anything else. Product knowledge and service are fantastic with Zinger. We recommend them always!!

Advantages: Can launch on many angles to get marks close ,far or to either side. Very durable in all weather and really easy to set up and use....easy storage pocket.

Disadvantages: no

I've had three remote field trailers for 3 years. Only problem I had was the servo gears had to be replaced in two units and wire in one unit. Easily repaired and quick to send parts. No problems since.

All units are used about 2 times a week with a group I train with and we run 10-20 dogs, also at our monthly club training sessions when we run 30-45 dogs.

What we have found out is by keeping a person at each station loading birds/bumpers/loads it makes things go real fast. You can run one dog and keep the second dog in the holding blind just like in a test. Launchers are controlled on the line with remote (Dogtra) once everyone gives a thumbs up they're loaded and cleared, hearing protection not an option for loaders.

Advantages: Makes group training fast and just like at hunt tests. Dogs love the bang! Consistent LONG throws.

Disadvantages: Training is required to load, not for novice operators because this is a serious training tool. Only safe operators need apply!

"Received the crate less than 48 hours after ordering it (I expected it to take weeks). It's FANTASTIC!!! My only regret is not ordering one years ago, if I calculate all the crates I've gone through over the years I'd have saved a lot of money investing in a Zinger dog crate.

The flooring, so far so good. From now on the only crates I will use for my dogs are Zinger dog crates."

Met with Rob today to discuss a set up for my vehicle and he was wonderful! Exceptional customer service and very patient as we went through all the things I was looking for.
Looking forward to getting my crate and protecting my cargo.

A great product that I have had the opportunity to test out with many escape artist dogs, with lots of success. I have not had one break out yet :)

I LOVE my Zinger 4000 and so does my MAL.... thank you for making such a great crate.

Love my crate set up for my van. Feeling much more secure about traveling with my dogs now. They are comfortable, well ventilated, quiet, and secure. Customer service was great and I really appreciated the ability to semi-customize my crate set up.

Mine ran $1050. Delivered here in Ontario. The dog loves it, instantly recognized that crate was escape proof from day one. Would love to get another and give away my plastic crates. I have two Malinois males (5 and 3 yrs old). For safety and security these are hard to beat.

"We needed a very good kennel to ship my son's two American Staffordshire Terriers from Canada to Belize. One was a superb escape artist. No kennel had kept her in. The dogs arrived without a problem. The kennels are high quality, light, and very good at not letting the dogs out.

I highly recommend these kennels to anyone needing a kennel, especially if you travel a lot or want a kennel for many years. These are very durable."

Got 3 and they are excellent

Malik the GSD loves the Zinger Escape Artist PR5000 crate. He follows me everywhere and Its a huge piece of mind knowing he is safe and happy in his crate. Well worth the extra cost. The incredible service was great too amazingly friendly staff that answered any questions I had right away

Love our Zinger crate. Can’t put a price on piece of mind during travel

We definitely depend on our zinger crates for our bears! :)

I have been very happy with the quality

They work great in cold weather

Thank you Phil for sending me a new latch! As soon as I took the old latch off of the crate the latch pin fell out of the latch mechanism. It appears that the latch pin holes were drilled a fraction of a millimeter off.

I appreciate the immediate response and professionalism you and your company showed me in getting me a replacement latch asap with no questions asked. I'm very happy with level of customer service I received. Thank you for standing by your product!

Furthermore, I noticed that the new latch I received was thoroughly inspected and well-greased before shipping to ensure the highest quality. The new latch works phenomenally well and I couldn't be happier.

"Rob,

Just needed to tell you how pleased I am with my new crates and can't wait to show them off! I wanted to say how much I appreciated the five star service from you and your wonderful staff. It will be a pleasure to recommend your company to others knowing that they have to look forward to"

"I have an overly energetic German Shepherd puppy who had previously destroyed one wire crate and ripped doors off of two plastic crates. I ordered the Deluxe 5000 Aluminum Crate, it was money well spent, so far it has held up like a champion and my dog has not gotten out and destroyed anything.

Thank you!"

"I can say this about the Zinger Winger crate, IT IS THE BEST INVESTMENT I MADE FOR MY DOG! After numerous other crates that he broke out of, the Zinger Winger crate is durable and "ESCAPE PROOF". Yes, he does chew on the bars, but he stays in it and is comfortable laying in there.

Initially, I thought it would be too small but he fits in there nicely. I am more than pleased with the Zinger Winger crate and will absolutely visit your website and buy from you again. The construction of the crate took about 25 minutes but it was well worth the time and effort. So thank you for making a great product to ensure that my dog is safe.

I have nothing at all bad to say about the product, it is AWESOME!"

Great kit. Carry it in the dog truck in case of emergency repair.

Added hooks to my zingers for greater versatility in throw distance and arc.

works perfect, simple plug n play

Advantages: easy replacement

Disadvantages: none

Really like the case but it seems to rip very easily , packed it carefully for a trip and found small tears in it when unpapacked .

Advantages: Great to protect zinger winger

I am enjoying using the the double zinger wingers with the remotes. It is great for practicing double marks without a gunner or two. For me this means being able to schedule training sessions alone without having to arrange time with the availability of others.

Advantages: There have been some improvements over previous version with the pins that help with preventing part of the unit from closing up and causing injury and the cradle of the remote wire connection as well as clips to hold the legs together during transport are also good improvements.

Disadvantages: One disadvantage is that there is no ability to adjust the range and therefore creating ideal set-ups in the field can be challenging. I suggest that if some additional hooks were added so that then the strength of the pull on the rubbers could be adjusted to increments and hence less range . This is something I am considering adding myself to test out. I intend to drill a series of holes with movable hooks complete with safety pins for range adjustments. Adjusting the angle of the winger legs helps to a point with adjusting range but only marginally.
The winger can be unstable on even slightly uneven ground .Some stakes designed for the unit to be driven in the ground would help.
A carrying handle attached to the unit would help with carrying .The carrying case looks like a lot more effort and the handles do not appear to be well placed for ease of carrying for any distance.
