Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer - Prairie Chicken
The Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer Prairie Chicken is an essential tool for dog trainers looking to develop realistic and effective retrieving techniques. Designed to closely replicate the feel and appearance of a real prairie chicken, this trainer offers your dog an authentic, lifelike training experience. With its realistic texture, proper weight, and thoughtful design, the Prairie Chicken trainer is perfect for reinforcing natural retrieval behaviors and building your dog's confidence, whether training on land or water.
Key Features:
Realistic Design:
The Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer Prairie Chicken is crafted with a soft, natural-feel foam body that closely mimics the texture of a real bird. This realistic design ensures that your dog can develop proper pickup, carry, and retrieval techniques as it would with a live bird. The attention to detail, including a free-swinging hard plastic head and feet, further enhances the trainer's authenticity, making it ideal for both novice and experienced trainers alike.
Scent-Injectable Foam Body:
To simulate the scent of a real prairie chicken, the foam body of the trainer is scent-injectable, allowing you to add a training scent that encourages your dog to recognize and respond to the natural aroma of the bird. This feature takes your training to the next level by helping your dog connect sight, smell, and retrieval techniques.
Durable Construction:
Built for durability, the Prairie Chicken trainer features a soft, natural-feel foam body that’s gentle on your dog’s teeth but tough enough to withstand repeated use. The hard plastic head and feet are designed to encourage your dog to pick up the trainer and carry it properly, while discouraging any undesirable behavior, such as shaking.
Floats on Water:
Perfect for water-based training sessions, the Prairie Chicken trainer is designed to float, even when punctured. This feature makes it ideal for training your dog to retrieve birds from water, whether in a pond, lake, or other water source. The trainer’s buoyancy ensures that it remains reliable for waterfowl training exercises, adding a layer of realism to the experience.
Hard, Free-Swinging Head Prevents Shaking:
The hard, free-swinging head and feet are designed to mimic the natural movements of a real bird, preventing your dog from shaking the trainer after pickup. This helps reinforce proper retrieval habits, ensuring that your dog learns to handle the bird with care and deliver it as expected.
Realistic Weight:
With a weight of approximately 10 oz, the Prairie Chicken trainer closely matches the weight of a real bird, encouraging your dog to focus on developing proper carrying techniques. This lifelike weight reinforces the correct grip and helps your dog learn to retrieve with the appropriate level of strength and control.
