Description
The Avery Sporting Dog EZ-Bird Flasher Teal is one of the top training tools designed for dog owners, professional trainers, and hunters alike. This versatile training dummy offers a near-realistic experience for dogs being trained to retrieve waterfowl, upland birds, and other game in various hunting scenarios. With its life-like construction, durable design, and ease of use, this product will ensure your dog is well-prepared for actual hunts, whether on land or in water.
Key Features:
Anatomically Correct Bodies:
The EZ-Bird Flasher Teal features an anatomically accurate design, replicating the size and shape of a teal bird. This is essential for preparing dogs for real-life hunts as it familiarizes them with the dimensions and feel of an actual bird. By using this training dummy, dogs can develop muscle memory and the proper technique they will need in the field.
Realistic Paint Schemes:
The dummy’s realistic paint scheme mimics the vibrant and distinguishing colors of a teal bird, increasing its visibility during training. This realistic design helps dogs identify and track the bird more efficiently, improving their marking ability and retrieval success during both short and long-distance retrieves. Additionally, the variety of shapes and colors offered by Avery ensures that your dog remains engaged and motivated during training sessions.
VGrip Pattern for Easy Grip:
One of the standout features of the Avery EZ-Bird Flasher Teal is its VGrip pattern on the body. This textured surface allows your dog to get a secure grip on the dummy without difficulty. The soft, floating head combined with the VGrip pattern ensures your dog can comfortably retrieve and carry the dummy without puncturing or damaging it. This feature reinforces the correct holding technique, reducing the likelihood of your dog damaging the bird during an actual hunt.
Punctureproof PVC Skin:
Durability is at the heart of the Avery EZ-Bird Flasher Teal’s design. Constructed from punctureproof PVC material, this training dummy can withstand repeated retrieves, rough handling, and chewing. Its tough exterior makes it resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that it remains functional even after extensive use in demanding training environments. Whether it’s dropped in mud, dragged through brush, or retrieved from water, the EZ-Bird is built to last through all scenarios.
Floating Design for Water-Based Training:
This dummy is perfect for water-based training exercises, thanks to its buoyant design. Its floating body and head stay above water, allowing your dog to easily locate and retrieve it from lakes, ponds, or marshes. This makes the Avery EZ-Bird Flasher Teal particularly valuable for waterfowl hunting dogs, as it closely simulates real hunting conditions. Water retrieves are essential for preparing dogs for hunts, and the EZ-Bird’s design ensures your dog can handle retrieving from aquatic environments with ease.
LongThrow Knob and Rope:
The EZ-Bird Flasher Teal comes equipped with a double-knotted, slip-proof rope, and a LongThrow knob, which allows trainers to throw the dummy over long distances. This feature is critical for training dogs in marking and retrieving birds from afar, simulating the conditions of an actual hunt where birds might fall hundreds of yards away. The LongThrow knob allows for precise and accurate throws, making it easier for trainers to control the trajectory and distance of the dummy, ensuring a consistent training experience.
