GUNNER Dog Training Bumper - Orange Retriever Training Dummy for Water & Field

Elevate Retriever Training with the GUNNER Dog Training Bumper

The GUNNER Dog Training Bumper is a purpose-built tool designed to deepen the bond between you and your dog while developing practical skills like retrieving, scent work, and discovery tasks. It is a dedicated training aid—not a chew toy—meant for mindful practice that supports steady progress during sessions.

Visibility and confidence are core benefits for both beginners and seasoned handlers. The bright orange hue provides high-contrast visibility in a variety of environments and lighting, aiding handlers as they introduce foundational drills and progressively add challenge in hunting or field scenarios.

Durability is built in. Crafted with DuraTrieve, this bumper withstands rigorous outdoor drills, holds up to repeated throws, and remains buoyant in water. It dries quickly and cleans with soap and water, making post-session upkeep straightforward and efficient—an ideal companion for regular training routines and water work alike.

Training comfort and safety come first. The tapered, vented design encourages proper hold positioning and steady airflow, helping your dog stay comfortable during longer sessions. This thoughtful shape supports positive training experiences and reduces strain during intensive practice.

Smart design for scent and versatility

A removable cap reveals an interior cavity that simplifies scent training, allowing your dog to focus on the scent cue without additional tape or clutter. This feature makes it easier to conduct scent-detection drills relevant to bird and waterfowl work, while keeping the session clean and orderly.

The adjustable and removable thermoplastic rubber rope adds versatility for different training methods, including pile work and dock diving. The hex design offers two grip positions, enabling flexible handling and smoother transitions between drills and competition-like scenarios.

Important note: While this bumper is a valuable training tool and retrieval aid for field use, it is not intended as a chew toy. Never leave the bumper unattended with pets or small children, as small parts could pose a choking hazard. Always supervise training to ensure safety.
