Description
The Avery HexaBumper 3″ Flasher Retriever Dog Training Bumper is specifically designed to provide optimal performance during retriever training by addressing common issues associated with round bumpers. Its innovative 6-sided design not only makes it easier for dogs to grip, but it also promotes a soft mouth thanks to its firm construction, discouraging dogs from biting down too hard. This training bumper is suitable for dogs that are progressing in their training, especially larger puppies or adult dogs learning to handle bigger objects.
The HexaBumper is available in two sizes—2-inch and 3-inch diameters—with the 3-inch version being ideal for larger dogs or those advancing to more challenging training sessions. The Flasher version features a black-and-white color combination, making it highly visible in varying environments. The bumper’s leak-proof design ensures that it remains watertight, making it durable enough for both land and water retrieves.
Key Features:
Six-sided design: The unique hexagonal shape provides better grip and control for dogs, making it easier to handle during retrieves. The design also discourages a hard mouth, promoting softer bites.
Firm construction: The bumper is built to be firm, encouraging dogs to hold it gently without biting down too hard. This helps develop better control during retrieval tasks.
Raised VGrips: Each side of the bumper features raised VGrips, which improve the dog’s grip and enhance its ability to hold onto the bumper securely. These grips provide a reliable hold, even in wet or slippery conditions.
Leak-proof and durable: The bumper is designed without valves, making it completely leak-proof. This ensures that it won’t take on water, extending the product’s lifespan, even in water-based retrieves.
High visibility Flasher color: The black-and-white alternating pattern of the Flasher model makes it highly visible against different backgrounds, ensuring dogs can easily spot it during training sessions in various environments.
Floating throw rope: A 10-inch floating throw rope is included, allowing for longer throws, which can challenge and improve your dog’s retrieving abilities over distance.
