Dokken’s Dead Fowl Pheasant Trainer

The Dokken’s Dead Fowl Pheasant Trainer is a specialised gundog training dummy crafted to closely mimic the size, weight, feel and balance of a real pheasant.

Why Use a Dead Fowl Trainer

Unlike standard canvas dummies, the Dokken Pheasant Dead Fowl Trainer faithfully imitates the feel of feathered game. The combination of a soft, scent-absorbent body with hard, wobble-disciplined end pieces trains your dog to pick up and carry the bird correctly without developing aggressive shaking or poor mouth habits.

It is particularly effective for:

• Transitioning from canvas or basic dummies to realistic game-style retrieves
• Refining delivery to hand and hold consistency
• Water retrieve training
• Blind retrieves and steadiness drills
• Pre-season conditioning and confidence-building
