Why the 1lb Canvas Dummy is a Staple
Across nearly two decades, this dummy has become a fundamental part of structured gundog training. Its weight mirrors that of natural falls encountered in the field, helping dogs learn to read flight lines, maintain focus over distance and deliver with confidence to hand.
The 1lb weight also supports stamina building, back-line marking work and memory retrieves without encouraging early fatigue or sloppy mechanics. Handlers appreciate its versatility — it bridges initial progressive work and more demanding drills with ease.
