AUSCAMOTEK Ausamotek Duck Dummy for Hunting Dog Training

This dummy is built really well and has a very realistic look and feel that makes training sessions much more effective. The weight is just right for throwing long distances, and it holds up great even after repeated use. My retriever took to it immediately and it’s been a great way to simulate real hunting scenarios. The material is durable, easy to clean, and doesn’t tear up easily even with a strong-mouthed dog. It’s an excellent tool for anyone serious about training their dog for waterfowl retrieval. Highly recommend for durability, realism, and effectiveness in the field.

There are many reviews that recommend the effectiveness of this dummy as a training tool. I really like that the geometry of the body, head, and throwing handle teaches the pup how to pick up a bird. We mostly train with bumpers, and our golden pup picks them up a lot of different ways (like a cigar, for one) and tends to play around with the throwing line on the retrieve. She only comfortably picks these dummies up by the body. These are well balanced and easy to throw!

We have used it heavily in training the Lab pup. The balance of the dummy mimics a live duck. It throws well into the water. After 2 months of use it still floats but the rope slipped and had to be glued. It is possible with such heavy use it was not possible to hold up. I still think for the price the training dummy was worth every penny. I have ordered a new one. Our Lab loves it.

Puppy loves this toy, it’s slightly soft so she able to pull pieces off if she really wants to

Fabulous item. I actually order one a year. Very durable
