Dokken Ruffed Grouse Dead Fowl – Training Dummy for Retrievers

Meet the Dokken Ruffed Grouse Dead Fowl Dead Fowl training dummy, designed to guide dogs toward proper hold and carry during retrieves. Built to mimic real game in feel and appearance, this trainer helps reinforce natural instincts while keeping practice controlled and productive.

Constructed with two durable ends and a soft, scent-injectable body, it stands up to repeated carries and mouth handling.
