Sporting Saint LWDG Tennis Ball Wrap

Training Dummy Wrap Designed with The Ladies Working Dog Group

The Sporting Saint LWDG Tennis Ball Wrap is a fun, high-engagement training accessory created in collaboration with The Ladies Working Dog Group (LWDG) to help dogs pick up dummies with greater enthusiasm and confidence.

Why the Tennis Ball Wrap Matters

Many dogs instinctively chase and retrieve tennis balls, but can be less engaged with standard canvas dummies. The LWDG Tennis Ball Wrap bridges that gap by adding a familiar tennis ball texture and feel to any compatible dummy. This boosts motivation, encourages correct grip, and can be particularly useful for early retrieve training, reluctant retrievers or play-focused sessions where increased stimulus improves response.
