Elevate your dog training sessions with the HuntEmUp 3 in Canvas Dog Training Bumper Dummy in vibrant orange. This essential training tool is specifically designed for durability, effectiveness, and ease of use, making it a perfect choice for trainers of all levels. Whether you’re an amateur or a seasoned professional, the HuntEmUp bumper is built to withstand the demands of various training scenarios while providing a safe and engaging experience for your dog.
Key Features
Durable Canvas Construction
The HuntEmUp canvas training bumper is made from high-quality, soft canvas that combines durability with comfort. This robust material ensures the bumper can endure repeated use without compromising its shape or performance. The soft texture is gentle on your dog's mouth, promoting a gentle retrieve while discouraging hard mouth behavior.
Optimal Visibility
The bumper comes in a vibrant orange color, which is specifically chosen for running blind retrieves. Dogs cannot distinguish this color, allowing you to create effective training exercises that focus on scent and instinct rather than sight. This feature is essential for teaching your dog to rely on its natural abilities during retrieval tasks.
Braided Throw Rope
Each HuntEmUp bumper is equipped with an attached, braided throw rope, making it easy to achieve longer throws. This rope allows trainers to mark distances accurately, enhancing the training experience by encouraging dogs to practice marking and retrieving from greater distances.
Weighted Design
The center-weighted construction ensures level flotation, making it easy for dogs to track and retrieve the bumper both on land and in water. This design feature enhances the training experience, whether you're working on land retrieves or water-based training.
Multiple Color Options
In addition to the bright orange option, the HuntEmUp bumper is also available in classic white. The white bumper is particularly popular among trainers for its high visibility against various backgrounds. This variety allows you to select the best option based on your training needs and environment.

Usage Instructions
Setup
Preparation for Training: Before each training session, inspect the bumper for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the throw rope is secure and free from frays to guarantee safe use.
Choose Your Location: Select a training area that is appropriate for the type of retrieving exercise you plan to conduct. Whether it’s open land or a water setting, ensure the environment is safe for your dog.
During Training
Throwing: Use the braided throw rope to launch the bumper into your chosen training area. The durable canvas material allows for easy, long-distance throws, enhancing your dog's marking and retrieving skills.
Encourage Retrieval: Allow your dog to track the bumper, rewarding them with praise or treats for successful retrieves. This reinforcement helps solidify positive behaviors and motivates your dog to engage fully in the training exercise.
Maintenance
Cleaning: After each use, rinse the bumper with fresh water to remove dirt and debris. This simple maintenance step helps preserve the bumper’s integrity and keeps it looking new.
Storage: Store the bumper in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential degradation of the canvas material.
