Dokken Puppy Dead Fowl Trainer
The Dokken Puppy Dead Fowl Trainer is a specially rescaled version of the classic Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer designed for young puppies and early retriever development. At approximately 8 inches (20 cm) in length, it’s perfectly sized to fit small mouths and encourages quick, confident retrieves from the very start of training. Built to the same training principles as the full-size models, this puppy trainer uses a soft foam body with a hard free-swinging head, guiding your pup toward correct carry habits while discouraging shaking and rough mouthing.
Perfect for introducing your young dog to retrieves, the Dokken Puppy Trainer helps build confidence, develop proper hold technique and reinforce positive habits before moving up to standard-sized dead fowl trainers or canvas dummies.

Why Use a Puppy Dead Fowl Trainer
Starting a gundog puppy on the correct tools sets the foundation for reliable retrieving technique later in life. The Dokken Puppy Trainer’s scaled-down size and disciplined design teaches your puppy to pick up and carry the dummy correctly from day one, helping prevent poor habits such as head-shaking or biting the ends. The soft centre invites a natural hold, while the hard head provides instant feedback, encouraging your dog to keep their mouth on the body.
It is particularly effective for:
- Early retrieve confidence building
- Developing correct pick-up and carry habits
- Introducing scent work at a young age
- Preparing puppies for future dead fowl and canvas work
