The Field & Fireside Reluctant Retriever Dummy ® is a training aid for dogs who need some encouragement to pick up a dummy. It also helps to encourage dogs to deliver straight to hand rather than running around with the dummy.
The Reluctant Retriever Dummy ® has been designed to have the same look and feel of a traditional canvas dummy, so that dogs get used to picking up and carrying canvas, but it has a small 'pocket' at one end rather than a toggle. This is just big enough to fit small treats or kibble and closes with a velcro fastening.
Meant for use over short distances, the dummy weighs only 120g (approx 1/4 lb) so is easy for dogs of any size to carry. It has been designed without a throwing toggle to encourage dogs to hold the dummy correctly in the middle. It can be used in conjunction with the LWDG Tennis Ball Wrap (small size) for dogs that love to retrieve tennis balls but are not keen on canvas.
The Reluctant Retriever Dummy ® was designed in conjunction with Jo Perrott, founder of the Ladies Working Dog Group, and Claire Denyer, of Family Dog Services, who specialises in working with reluctant retrievers.
