Crafted with attention to detail, the Pintail dummy is ideal for improving your dog’s ability to retrieve waterfowl, both on land and in water, while discouraging undesirable behaviors like shaking or improper gripping. Whether you're working with a novice or advanced retriever, the Dokken Dead Dummy Fowl Pintail offers a realistic, durable solution to improve your dog's training.
Key Features:
Teaches Proper Hold and Carry Techniques: One of the standout features of the Dokken Dead Dummy Fowl Pintail is its ability to teach dogs the proper way to pick up and carry a bird. The dummy’s realistic design, with a free-swinging head and feet, encourages the dog to grip the body rather than the head or back end, promoting correct carry habits. This helps prevent shaking, a common issue when dogs pick up birds by the wrong parts.
Soft, Durable Body: The body of the Pintail dummy is made of soft, natural-feel foam, providing a comfortable grip for dogs while also mimicking the feel of a real bird. This durable material ensures the dummy holds up through multiple training sessions without getting damaged or losing its shape, even after extensive use in rough conditions.
Lifelike Look and Feel: With a design that closely resembles a real pintail duck, the Dokken Dead Dummy Fowl Pintail offers a lifelike appearance and feel, which is essential for accurate training. The natural coloring and feather-like textures help dogs familiarize themselves with the sights and sensations of retrieving a real bird in the field, improving their overall training experience.
Free-Swinging Head Discourages Shaking: One of the most important aspects of waterfowl retrieval is teaching dogs to handle the bird properly. The free-swinging head and feet of the Pintail dummy discourage dogs from shaking the bird, which can often cause injury or damage to a real bird. By providing this essential training feature, this dummy ensures that dogs develop good habits that will carry over into real hunting situations.
Scent-Injectable Body: For added realism, the Pintail dummy features a scent-injectable body. Handlers can introduce hunting scents to the foam body, allowing dogs to practice scent detection as part of their retrieval training. This adds an extra layer of authenticity to the training, simulating the challenges of locating and retrieving waterfowl by scent in actual hunting conditions.
Floats Even When Punctured: The Dokken Dead Dummy Fowl Pintail is designed to float, making it perfect for water training. Its buoyant nature allows dogs to practice retrieving in water environments, helping them develop the necessary skills for waterfowl hunting. Even if the dummy is punctured during rigorous use, it continues to float, ensuring it remains functional throughout training sessions.
