Dokken Mallard Dead Fowl Duck Dummy Product Review
One of the best selling retriever training items in the United States is the Dokken Mallard Dead Fowl trainer, and with good reason. Here, this product will be reviewed.
Product Description
The Dokken DeadFowl Mallard Trainer is the most realistic training dummy on the market.
Dokkens Mallard Dead Fowl trainer
The body is comprised of soft – yet durable – foam that can be injected with scent. The head and feet of the dummy are made from hard plastic, which encourages the dog to only pick up the bird by the body. Additionally, the head is free-swinging, which discourages dogs from violently shaking downed game. If the dog does shake the DeadFowl Mallard, he or she will receive an aversive rap on the nose, thus minimizing this bad behavior.
Other features of the Dokken Mallard Dead Fowl trainer include a realistic weight (1.25 lbs) and length (15’’), as well as coloring that matches that of a real Mallard. This training tool also floats in water, even when punctured.
Who can Benefit Most from the Dokken DeadFowl Mallard?
Anyone training his or her dog to retrieve Mallards will benefit from this product. The DeadFowl Mallard trainer provides unparalleled realism while also teaching important lessons to the dog about how to handle a dead bird.
Who can Benefit Least from the Dokken DeadFowl Mallard?
Only waterfowl hunters who are not training their dogs to retrieve Mallards will not benefit from this product. For these hunters, Teal and Goose DeadFowl Trainers are also available.
What are the Advantages of the Dokken DeadFowl Mallard?
The biggest advantages of this product are the realism in the weight, look, and feel of the dummy, as well as the free-swinging head that is comprised of hard plastic.
