Archerest 2 Pack Dead Dove Dummies for Waterfowl Training & Retriever Fetch

Overview

Meet Archerest's 2 Pack Dead Dove Dummy Bumpers—designed for retrievers and serious waterfowl trainers who train outdoors and indoors. The twin set lets you rotate drills, track progress, and keep a reliable fetch partner ready for action. Each bumper floats, resists wear, and suits repeated throws during sessions at the pond, on the field, or in the backyard.

Realistic design that supports authentic training

The dummies feature a dead-dove aesthetic with a drooping head and vivid colors to resemble real game. A textured body and ribbed grip help your dog latch on confidently, promoting controlled carries and mouth placement during practice.

Key benefits

• Realistic appearance cues natural hunting behaviors without stressing the dog.
• Ribbed body and textured surface encourage secure grip and calm mouth handling.
• Floating design supports water retrieves and reduces the worry of sinking after throws.
• Durable EVA construction paired with a nylon throw rope provides soft-touch durability.
• Knob-end rope enables smooth, long-distance launches for efficient drills.
• Versatile use for waterfowl field training, gun-dog practice, or indoor/backyard play.

Durable, versatile, and ready for action

Built for regular training, the bumpers blend a soft exterior with a robust core. They float without waterlogging, making waterwork feasible in ponds, streams, or pools. The included rope is designed for repeated throws, while the knobby tip supports a steady grip for longer casts.

Training scenarios you can explore

• Water retrieves: buoyant returns on wet terrain to build steadiness.
• Distance retrieves: improve accuracy from yard or field drills.
• Basic retrieves: reinforce sit-stay and fetch with a game-like scent cue.
• Indoor/backyard play: keep a high-energy dog engaged when outdoor space is limited.

How to use

Introduce the dummies gradually, reward soft mouth contact, and encourage calm carries. Use the buoyant float for water sessions and the rope for controlled launches. Rotate drills and adjust throw distance to suit your dog’s skill level.
