Hello and thank you for your interest in my targets! I am Melanie Felix and my full-time dog trainer.

For many years I have wanted ONE practical, versatile and scalable target in training ...
The idea of what a perfect soil target should look like for me came from my own training.
Above all, my soil target should be easy and quick to shrink!
To be able to be perfectly adapted for every dog size.
Thanks to the cooperation with IES GmbH ...
I only drive 15 minutes to the company in Braak, here with us in Schleswig-Holstein (northern Germany by Hamburg).
... it went really fast ..
Here you can see the first mold from the 3D printer.
... until I had my first prototype in my hands!
It was a great feeling!
Now it got serious ... the first tools were built.
And a few weeks later, the first production started
in March 2020
It is very important to me that the material is absolutely non-toxic for our dogs.
The TPE material used is also made in Germany!
In terms of quality, too, the target can only withstand our high demands in training so well.
After making ...
Every part is checked ...
... and assembled by hand.
Made in Germany
Lui takes care that nothing gets lost ..;)
There is no packaging or other garbage!
The boxes are used again and again.
I pick up the finished targets and store them.
This means that there are no additional transport routes for which additional shipping material would be required, which would then be superfluous again.
The sticks are post-processed for you.
So the ground target is not only ideal for any distance work ...
... but in combination with the stick ...
..also as an independent nasal target!
The stick is over 120 cm long and so versatile in training.
I hope you have as much fun with our targets as we do!
