The 6 Best Duck retrieving Dummies (2023 reviews)

The dokken great training tool is the best feature-rich dummy on the market today. This is the perfect training tool to bridge the gap between bumpers and real birds when training a gundog. It's firm, squeezable but durable foam with plastic legs. The body of the dummy is made of closed cell foam that can handle penetration by a needle (for injecting scent), but it would likely remove chunks of foam when the arrow was removed. The injection of scent in the blue dots on the duck makes adding scent reaally easy. The mourning dove is available and it's shown under the color selection.

They do have the injection scents for this decoy and they greatly enhance the training for the dogs. If you are into training your dog for retrieving in water or land, this is a fantastic training aide.
