Waterproof and Buoyant: Ideal for water-based training exercises, the Avery EZ Bird Pintail floats, allowing dogs to practice water retrieves, which is crucial for hunting scenarios involving ducks in wetlands or lakes.
VGrip Technology: The body of the training dummy features VGrip Technology, a textured pattern that allows your dog to pick it up and grip it securely, even in wet or muddy conditions. This helps train your dog for effective and gentle retrievals, minimizing slipping.
Free-Swinging Soft Head: The dummy’s soft, free-swinging head adds realism, simulating the natural movement of a downed duck. This encourages dogs to adjust their grip during retrieval, preparing them for real hunting situations.

Basic Retrieval on Land: Begin training on solid ground by throwing the dummy short distances, encouraging your dog to fetch and return it. Use commands such as “fetch” or “retrieve” to reinforce good behavior.

Grip Training with VGrip Technology: As your dog retrieves the dummy, encourage proper mouth placement using the VGrip Technology. The textured surface ensures a secure grip, even in wet conditions, training your dog to carry the bird gently and avoid dropping it.
Advanced Retrieval: Gradually introduce more challenging training environments, such as dense brush, tall grass, or marshy wetlands, to replicate real hunting conditions. This helps your dog become proficient in a variety of terrains and scenarios.
Maintenance: After each training session, rinse the dummy with clean water to remove dirt and debris. Dry thoroughly before storing to extend the life of the product. The puncture-proof PVC material ensures durability but keeping it clean will help maintain its functionality over time.
