My Golden loves it
January 5, 2023
We had purchased a Cordura throw for our Golden 3 years ago from Gun Dog, and he loved it. In fact he loved it to death! This Camo dummy is a replacement for his original, and as soon as I took it out of the box he was thrilled. It is one of his favorite items to retrieve, and brings it to us constantly. Thanks Gun Dog for giving us a quality item that will hold up for several years.
Pros
  • Reasonably priced.
  • Great quality.
  • Long lasting.

Canvas Dummy
October 11, 2022
Very durable, the weight of this product makes it very easy to throw with some distance. My dog loves it!!
Pros

My thoughts:
July 5, 2022
I ordered some training dummy's and I got exactly what I wanted. However, I know if it wasn't, or something was wrong it would be taken care of. Buying on internet can be risky in this day, and I can do business here with full confidence, good service, and safe.
Pros
  • Good service and confidence.
  • These dummies are tough and are sized and weighted to fit the training.
  • Have a nice selection of products and of good quality.

Tie an Extra Knot in the Rope
June 14, 2022
Great dummies. Had a few ropes fly off after the factory knots tightened up and slipped through the hole. Otherwise great dummies.
Pros
  • Great quality
Cons
  • Knots shrink after a dozen throws, allows rope to slip through hole. Easy fix.

Worked well initially
March 21, 2022
The product worked as needed initially… until my dog tore the material in two days and the internal sand fell out. Without the weight of the sand, the product could no longer be tossed away at any real distance. I won’t be buying again due to the lack of durability.
Pros
  • Good looking, does it?s job when not broken.
Cons
  • Broke within two days of use.

Very nice bumpers
March 8, 2022
I’ve always used white rubber bumpers. I didn’t realize how different size/color bumpers would impact my dog. I’m glad I purchased these because it allows me to throw different size, weight and color to keep retrieving interesting.

A good dummy.
February 1, 2022
Good dummy! Well made, holds scent well, and best of all, it's made in America not china! I've decided I will not buy anything further that is made in china!

August 18, 2021
Love this dummy. Blends into the terrain so my dog has to really seek it out.
Pros
  • Good size, weight, and color.
Cons
  • Not good if you need the dummy to stand out to your dog visually.
By Sue

excellent quality
August 18, 2021
I have bought several of these dummies for work with my gundog. He loves the feel of canvas and the size prevents him from picking up 2 or 3 at once (which he can do with plastic dummies).
Pros
  • Sturdy, good rope for throwing, nice size and weight
Cons
  • None
By Adam

Great Product
July 30, 2021
I have several dozen of these. They’re very durable and have a nice weight to them. I use these a lot for anything from pile work, casting drills, marking concepts, blind retrieves and more. So they get a lot of use around here. Excellent product.
Pros
  • Durable, great size, can add scent easily, very versatile, natural feel.
Cons
  • They're canvas style dummy. So they do require minor care. If they're wet you need to store them in a dry environment so they don't rot or mildew.

The Very Best

I have tried many different brands over the years and this is by far the best throwing dummy I have ever used.

Cons

Two thumbs up

Works as intended. Expect good wear looks well made. I used a flame to melt the knots on the rope so they stay knotted. Thanks

Nice weight
February 3, 2021
I recently purchased 6 of these training dummies to work with my Lab. I was having some issues with delivery of the rubber bumpers. She has been holding these bumpers much better and delivering to hand. I chose these bumpers based on cost and added weight. They throw well and seem to be holding up well.
Pros
  • Cost per unit.
  • Durable
  • Weight
  • Comes with throw rope
Cons
  • None yet

3" Black/ white weighted condura bumper
January 22, 2021
During the winter I switch to canvas bumper. I like the black/ white bumpers to show contrast.
Pros
  • They throw a long distance. The black/white stand out on the cloudy days with snow on the ground.
  • The price is reasonable for the great bumper you receive.
Cons
  • I need to buy more.

Perfect Fit!
September 23, 2020
Bought the 2" and 3" orange bumper; my boy prefers the 3". We use it for therapy swimming and general exercise. Well made and dries quickly.
Pros
  • Perfect size for my CBR
  • Dries quickly
  • Toss rope included with the bumper
  • Seems to be well made which should lead to a long life (if we don't lose it)
  • Orange color is for me - my favorite!
Cons
  • None

Good quality dummy for training. Maybe a little big and heavy for my 6month old lab, but she can grow into it. I will definitely pick up more if needed.

Review for 3" White Weighted Canvas Throw Dummy with Feather Strap by RRT
September 26, 2016
Chessies are notoriously tough dogs and are very rough on equipment and handlers. This works so much better than just strapping a wing to the typical dummy. It gives the dog the feel and taste of real feathers, and they learn to hold on to the bird and not crush it. I have two and they are the only ones I use. I wish I thought of this design.

Review for 3" Black/White Weighted Cordura Throw Dummy by RRT
August 26, 2016
I use canvas bumpers primarily for cold weather training when plastic bumpers become too hard and uncomfortable. Sure, a decent retriever will still fetch a rock hard bumper, but I like to enhance the experience by changing to canvas for working in sub-freezing temperatures. These bumpers are a great size, shape and weight, and seem very well made. I haven't used them yet because of the above mentioned intended purpose.

I am not a trainer but this is what I was looking for as far as durability, texture, and pliability. My dog is five and is incredibly intelligent and she gets very excited when I take it out to work with her. I wish I had seen the dove trainer and would have got that first, had I seen it. She is doing fine with this. It's what I was looking for when I bought it. Price is fair, shipping quick. Good deal.

November 13, 2015
The dummy is great. Her adult teeth have just come in, so this was a good 'teething' gum toy for the last few weeks. Lightweight, durable fabric, and endurable fabric! Good mouthing toy as well. Excellent replacement for tennis balls and other toys not good for teeth. Best thing is it is so safe for her to chew, nothing breaks off. Excellent!

It could be a little heavier for further throwing distance, and the throw rope is too small diameter. The rope is so small even with the knots in it. Will pull through the eyelet. I ended up making my own rope which is larger diameter.

My lab's best friend.......this canvas dummy is awesome for training your retriever for upland or duckshooting. The size, weight and canvas material give the K9 a good feel for hunting situations. Canvas can be douzed with pheasant or other scents. Only drawback is no good on water retrieves.
