Description
The Avery HexaBumper Large White Retriever Dog Training Bumper Dummy is designed to optimize your dog’s training by addressing the issues commonly associated with traditional round bumpers. The six-sided design of this bumper ensures that dogs are able to easily grip and handle it, while also promoting a soft mouth through its firm, durable construction. This bumper is ideal for training retrievers, especially those who have advanced beyond basic training or are learning to handle larger objects.
This training dummy is particularly suited for larger dogs or puppies that have progressed in their training. The Avery HexaBumper comes in two sizes—2-inch and 3-inch diameters—offering the flexibility to cater to different levels of training and dog sizes. With its rugged, leak-proof design, the bumper is durable enough for water retrieves, while its raised VGrips help your dog maintain a firm yet gentle hold.
Key Features:
Six-sided design: The unique hexagonal shape helps your dog maintain a secure grip during retrieves and discourages a hard mouth, which is often an issue with round bumpers.
Firm construction: The bumper is designed to discourage dogs from biting down too hard, promoting a soft, controlled mouth during training sessions.
Raised VGrips: Each of the six sides of the bumper features raised VGrips to enhance your dog’s ability to hold onto it. These textured grips provide a reliable, secure grip even in wet conditions.
Leak-proof design: The bumper’s valveless construction ensures that it remains water-tight, making it suitable for both land and water-based training exercises.
Floating throw rope: The included 10-inch floating throw rope allows for long-distance throws, making it easier to challenge your dog with extended retrieves across fields or water.

What’s Included:
1 Avery HexaBumper Large White Retriever Dog Training Bumper: The six-sided bumper is built for long-lasting durability during rigorous training exercises, both on land and in water.
1 10-inch Floating Throw Rope: This attached floating rope makes launching the bumper over long distances easier and allows for precise retrieval drills.
Usage Instruction:
Begin training with land-based retrieves: Start by using the attached floating throw rope to throw the bumper over longer distances. The six-sided shape and raised VGrips make it easier for your dog to pick up and carry, ensuring a controlled, soft mouth grip.
Introduce water-based retrieves: Thanks to its leak-proof design, this bumper is perfect for water retrieves as well. Simply throw the bumper into water, and its durable construction will keep it afloat, providing realistic scenarios for training.
Build “Back” and “Over” piles: For more advanced training, create “Back” and “Over” piles by using multiple bumpers. Keep the bumpers stored in white buckets and use the bucket to mark the pile during early handling drills.
Improve your dog’s precision and control: The raised VGrips and firm material discourage your dog from biting down hard, helping develop a soft mouth and better handling skills. The 10-inch throw rope can be used to launch the bumper over greater distances, testing your dog’s speed, precision, and retrieving abilities.
Regular maintenance: After each training session, rinse the bumper with clean water to remove dirt or debris. Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its durability and ensure it lasts through many training sessions.
The Avery HexaBumper Large White Retriever Dog Training Bumper Dummy is an excellent tool for those training retrievers, particularly those working on advanced retrieving skills or handling larger objects. Its six-sided design and raised VGrips make it easier for dogs to grip, while the firm construction ensures a soft mouth during training.
