Favorite Pool Toy
June 10, 2023
I buy two ducks a year, one for each dog. One for the Lab and one for the Springer Spaniel. This is their favorite pool toy and they do not put them down. They get used about 5 days a week and year around.
Pros
  • I like that I can get different sizes for the different dogs. They hold up well.
Cons
  • None

Gun dog review

This trainer duck has been excellent when working with my young dog. He absolutely loves it and will retrieve it all day long.
Pros
  • More realistic then a bumper or tennis ball.

Must Have
May 10, 2023
Great product...we use extensively when training marking skills. Consistent throws out of our Zinger Winger launchers or for that matter when hand thrown. Just really nice change up when your dog needs a little change up or extra excitement to push through tough sessions. Naturally improves dogs mouth habits when retrieving so that is great bonus. Dogs just love them!!!
Pros
  • improved mouth postitioning, helps build confidence in handling birds and ultimaletly nice to change up different items to keep dogs interest high. Work wonderfully in Zinger Winger launchers for training marks. Unbeatable for training water marks, consistent throws and splash that really is huge asset especially with young dogs. Dogs really prefer the Doken's to the harder shelled competetors.
Cons
  • Over time and use they do sometimes absorb water when using on water marks. Simple enough remedy to squeeze out the excess and then set in sun to dry them out but they do absorb water so people should be aware of that.

Great realistic trainer
April 21, 2023
My dog loves this...she likes to carry it around after retrieving it. I can't say how much the addition of scent helped, but she does seem to find it readily in dense cover. She has a tendency to hold cylindrical dummies by the flap on the end where the rope attaches, but she holds this dummy on the main part of the body...the design including the hard head and feet promote that.
Pros
  • Promotes good holding
  • My dog really likes it
Cons
  • Could be slightly larger

Dokken is the gold standard for trainers
April 20, 2023
I am very pleased with my Dokken training ducks. Initially purchased the smaller size for my very young pup. She has grown quickly and is now 4.5 months old and ready for a full size bird. She was a bit puzzled on the first retrieve as the dummy had grown, but quickly figured out the right placement in her mouth and she was so pleased bringing it back!
Pros
  • High quality, well made.
Cons
  • Can't think of any at this time.

River's retrieval
March 22, 2023
Excellent life size looking piece! The detail is excellent. Only suggestion is to add a throwing “knob” at the end of the duck’s rope to more easily thrown.
Pros
  • Detail
  • Life-size
  • Quality
Cons
  • Lack of throwing knob

Very realistic and a lot easier than remembering to take out and thaw ducks!
Pros

Well made and sturdy
December 29, 2021
While we haven’t used these in water yet (ponds and small lakes are frozen over), we are using this duck in the house for the older dogs to get used to the weight and balance of it. So far the dogs love it and will retrieve it.

Great training aid
November 19, 2021
Use these for almost all aspects of dog training.
Pros
  • More realistic than bumpers. Prefer over Avery because they are easier for the dog to hold.
By Greg

Absolutely legit in every way
September 30, 2021
Extremely realistic in every detail from the weight and size, to the way it sits in the water, all the way down to the waterfowl band on the foot. Couldn't be happier. Seems very sturdy and should last a long time.
Pros
  • Realistic in every way
Cons
  • None

Good training duck
August 24, 2021
I got this to train my GSP as a versatile dog. She retrieves toys but she was not sure about this trainer tool at first. After swinging it around to get her excited about it and playing around with it she is retrieving it properly. The duck is a realistic size and shape, and is very durable. I can swing it as hard as I can throw and it just bounces off the ground and does not show more sign of wear than grass smudges. Now she is has little interest in her old toys and just wants this one. I added the duck scent stick to spice it up too.
Pros
  • Durable
  • Good weight
  • Realistic
Cons
  • None

Training Excitement
September 5, 2020
Last year, I began to use Dokkens instead of bumpers in marking setups and drills. Ducks are expensive and both of my retrievers are "amped" when retrieving Dokkens.
Pros
  • They are easy to throw and work well out of wingers. Also, I do no feel the need to use real Mallards quite as often.
Cons
  • I use to loose one or two here and there, but writing my
  • name on them seemed to work for getting returns.

Review for Mallard D-100 -- Dokkens Deadfowl Trainer Duck
October 12, 2018
Great item. Am in the process of training our first hunting Golden Retriever and this is an invaluable tool for teaching hold, land and water retrieves, give, etc. The ball for the end is a must add so you can get some distance when throwing. The solid head and ball help keep the dog from shaking off and getting you all wet at the end of the retrieve as well. Solidly built, great price and quick ship from Steve!!

March 21, 2016
What a great product. If I could own 100 of these and never use another type of retrieving dummy again I would. I love the Dokken whether it's training for hunt tests or waterfowl season. Can't get much closer to a real duck than this, I recommend buying the scent injection kit for added realism.

Review for Mallard D-100 -- Dokkens Deadfowl Trainer Duck
September 8, 2015
When I first started using the Dokken dummies my dog acted like they were the real thing. When I threw the other brands he wasn't excited, but when I threw the Dokken he jumped into another gear. I finally bought all Dokken's, and he is excited about every fetch.

Looks nice when new. Lightweight and easy to throw. After several retrieves gets waterlogged, heavy and difficult to throw. Step on it and water bubbles out.

Review for Mallard D-100 -- Dokkens Deadfowl Trainer Duck
July 27, 2015
Product was as expected. Unfortunately my dog likes to destroy his toys. I got this trainer duck specifically as a toy, and he's already chewed some of the foam rubber off the tail end. I guess I should have expected that. Really like the duck though.
