Why Use a Dead Fowl Trainer

Unlike conventional canvas dummies, the Dokken Partridge Dead Fowl Trainer mimics the natural feel of feathered game. The soft, scent-injectable body can be scented for game association, while the hard, free-swinging head disciplines unwanted shaking and teaches your dog to pick up in the correct centre-body position. This helps build better delivery habits and reduces the development of poor mouth manners early in training.

It is particularly effective for:

• Transitioning from basic dummies to game-like retrieves
• Refining delivery to hand
• Water retrieve training and blind retrieves
• Steadiness and holding drills
