Dog Brothers Public Forum

I'd really like to hear from everyone, including Crafty Dog  

I've been considering getting a training dummy for the times I don't have access to someone to spar with (which is all too often given my work and travel schedule).  I'm looking for something a bit more interesting than a conventional heavy bag or Wavemaster, as well as preparing me better for sparring.  

I plan to use the dummy in an enclosed indoor space, i.e. bonus room at home.  I hope to pummel it with fists and sticks... with liberal doses of elbows and knees

Has anyone tried the following?  What are your opinions?  Recommendations?

Actually, has anyone seen heavy bags or Wavemasters with spring-loaded arms and legs?  I wonder if such things exist.

Thanks in advance!
