Extra Select Gun Dog Training Dummy, 0.5 lb, Green

Good item

We bought this to introduce our dog to looking for bringing back the dummy, starting in and around the house, then the garden, then out in the woods. Its important to remember its a training aid, not a toy, but if you have that in mind its a great bit of kit. Our dog took a bit of getting used to carrying it due to the weight, but now he loves it.

Product overview: I bought this training dummy for gun dog style fetch and retrieval practice with my dog. The 0.5 lb weight is aimed at younger dogs, beginners, or general retrieval training without being too heavy. First impressions: The dummy arrived ready to use with no setup needed. It feels lightweight but not flimsy, with a decent balance that makes it suitable for throwing and carrying. The material seems reasonably durable at first glance. Performance: So far it’s worked well for fetch and retrieval training. The weight feels about right — light enough for easy carrying but still substantial enough for proper retrieve practice. My dog took to it quickly and it’s easy to throw consistently. It appears durable so far, although only longer-term use will show how well it holds up to repeated biting and outdoor use. Pros: -Good size and weight for retrieval training -Ready to use straight away -Easy to throw and carry -Feels reasonably durable so far Cons: -Long-term durability still remains to be seen -Lightweight design may not suit larger or more advanced dogs Value for money: Seems like good value for a basic training dummy, especially if you want something simple and effective for everyday retrieve practice. Verdict: A solid starter or general-purpose gun dog training dummy. Lightweight without feeling too light, easy for dogs to retrieve, and works well for fetch training. Positive first impressions overall.

I needed a training dummy for training my cocker spaniel got this from amazon at a reasonable price. Very strong and durable and a lot cheaper than gun shops charge but just as good. 👍👍👍

Size is good. Haven't used it alot yet so not sure how it will hold up

As described, good for training, good quality. But sadly my partner left the dog to play with it, and he shredded it in 3 minutes so no long term review!

Handy pocket sized gundog training dummy. Both for puppies in training or adult dogs out on a daily walk.

Brought for my lab instead of a ball they didn’t last long and were not left alone with them ,they didn’t chew them but stuffing came out within 2 weeks
