Dokken Dead Fowl Mini Mallard Duck
The Dokken Dead Fowl Mini Mallard Duck is a miniature version of the well-known and trusted Dokken Dead Fowl Mallard, designed specifically for young puppies and smaller dogs. Whether you're training a young retriever or a smaller breed, this dummy offers the same exceptional realism and durability as its larger counterpart, scaled down for smaller mouths. Perfect for introducing puppies to waterfowl hunting training, the Mini Mallard is an essential tool for teaching proper retrieval skills from an early age. The lifelike look, feel, and floating capabilities make this dummy an excellent choice for training waterfowl retrieving, ensuring your dog develops the skills needed for success in the field.
Key Features:
Teaches Proper Hold and Carry Techniques: The Mini Mallard Duck is designed to teach puppies and smaller dogs how to properly pick up and carry a bird. The soft foam body, paired with the free-swinging hard plastic head and feet, encourages the dog to grip the body of the dummy rather than the head or back end. This prevents unwanted behaviors, like shaking, and ensures that your dog learns proper handling from the beginning of their training.
Soft, Durable Body: Despite its smaller size, the Mini Mallard Duck is made with the same durable, soft natural-feel foam used in the full-sized models. This material allows dogs to get a comfortable grip while simulating the texture of an actual duck. It can endure the wear and tear of multiple training sessions without losing shape or effectiveness.
Lifelike Look and Feel: The Mini Mallard Duck is designed to replicate the appearance and texture of a real mallard duck, offering a lifelike look that helps familiarize your dog with a real bird. The detailed coloring and shape mimic an actual mallard, providing a realistic training experience that prepares puppies for their first experiences with waterfowl in the field.
Free-Swinging Head Discourages Shaking: One of the key features of the Mini Mallard Duck is the free-swinging head and feet. This design feature discourages the dog from shaking the bird, which is an undesirable behavior when retrieving a real bird. It helps develop proper carry techniques, ensuring that your dog does not damage or improperly handle the bird during retrieval.
Scent-Injectable Body: Just like the full-sized versions, the Mini Mallard Duck comes with a scent-injectable body. This feature allows you to introduce hunting scents to the foam body, adding an extra layer of realism to training. By using the scent-injection capability, you can help develop your dog’s scent detection abilities, making them more adept at locating and retrieving waterfowl in real-life hunting situations.
Floats Even When Punctured: The Mini Mallard Duck is designed for water training, making it perfect for use in ponds, lakes, or marshes. It floats just like a real duck, which allows your dog to practice retrieving in water environments. The durability of the material means that the dummy will continue to float even if it is punctured during rough use, making it a reliable tool for training in various water conditions.
