Description
The Avery HexaBumper Large Orange Retriever Dog Training Bumper is an innovative training tool that is specifically designed to elevate your dog’s retrieving skills. Unlike traditional round bumpers, which often promote a hard mouth and are difficult for dogs to handle, this bumper’s unique six-sided design and firm material encourage a soft mouth and enhance gripping ability. Perfect for trainers and hunting dog owners alike, this bumper is built to withstand rigorous training sessions and help your dog develop precision and control.
This large-sized bumper is ideal for larger dogs or those who have advanced in their training, providing a realistic, challenging experience for learning to handle bigger objects. Additionally, the Avery HexaBumper ensures durability and functionality with a leak-proof, valveless design that won’t take on water during water-based training exercises.
Key Features:
Six-sided design: The unique shape of the bumper promotes a softer mouth and improves your dog’s ability to grip, making it easier for your dog to hold onto the bumper during retrieves.

Raised VGrips: These textured grips provide a better hold for your dog and ensure a reliable and consistent training experience, even in wet or slippery conditions.
Leak-proof design: The valveless construction ensures that no water can enter the bumper, keeping it lightweight and functional even during water retrieves.
Floating throw rope: A 10” floating throw rope is included for long-distance throws, allowing you to easily launch the bumper across land or water during training sessions.
