Sporting Saint Rabbit Balls – Our Famous Retrieval Training Tools
Real-Fur Scent & Texture for Focused Retrieve Engagement
The Sporting Saint Rabbit Balls are our famous fur-covered retrieve training balls handcrafted in the UK to combine natural scent, tactile interest and practical training performance. Designed to introduce dogs to real fur feel and smell early in their training, these rabbit balls encourage strong focus, confidence in pick-ups and increased engagement during both foundation and advanced drills.
Available in a range of sizes and suited to a wide variety of dogs, the Rabbit Balls bring a game-relevant texture and scent into retrieve work without the full weight of larger dummy tools. Their natural fur surface helps transition dogs from basic canvas dummies toward more instinctive hunting and retrieve behaviour.
Why Real Fur Matters
Introducing natural fur into training helps bridge the gap between canvas dummies and actual game. The rabbit fur encourages dogs to engage both tactilely and olfactorily, building confidence in pick-ups and drive toward scent-associated retrieve tasks. This can be especially useful for:
-
Encouraging enthusiastic first finds
-
Enhancing locate work and scent engagement
-
Supporting confident, secure carry habits
Natural rabbit fur also provides a sensory cue that many dogs find motivating, making training sessions more rewarding and focused without overwhelming beginners.
