Dokken Miniature Mallard Dead Fowl – Puppy Training Dummy for Retrieves

Meet the Dokken Miniature Mallard Dead Fowl, a compact training companion designed with puppies in mind. This tiny duck uses a thoughtful, hands-on design to help early training focus on the proper hold and carry during retrieves. While size may be smaller, the approach remains deliberate and effective, giving your pup a familiar feel as they practice. The same patented concept behind Dokken’s larger ducks is brought into this miniature version, offering consistency as your dog grows and advances in training.

Designed to be a practical stepping stone, this dummy can be used in a variety of real-life scenarios, from backyard sessions to park training. Its life-like feel and balanced weight help simulate a real retrieve without overwhelming a young dog, making it a versatile addition to your routine. The scent-injectable capability adds an extra dimension to cue-based training, allowing you to introduce odor variety and varied retrieval contexts without switching tools. For puppies, the smaller size makes handling and grip easier, reducing the stress of early sessions while still delivering meaningful practice.
