The Original Clone Dead Bird Dummy range by Dog & Field are realistic full body dummies with a head, wings and tail to help train your dog to pick up, carry and deliver shot game properly.
These dummies bridge the gap between dummy training and using real game. They come in three sizes and gamebird feather patterns including snipe, partridge and pheasant. By using more life-like dummies when training your gundog it prepares them for the more difficult bird retrieves that they will encounter on a shoot day. The more accomplished that your dog is the more shot game that will be retrieved by it, and therefore more game will end up in the gamebag before eventually finding its way into the food chain.
The Original Clone Dead Bird Dummy range has been designed specifically to stimulate your gundog’s three primary hunting senses – sight, smell and touch:
Sight – The realistic looking gundog training dummies features a true to life body size and shape. They have the added realism of featuring a head, wings and tail, which mimics a shot gamebird whether being retrieved from the ground as a static retrieve or used as a visual mark falling from the sky,
Smell – Your gundog’s nose is its number one tool when helping it find game. Due to this Dog & Field have used carefully selected fabrics to ensure maximum scent retention. By simply putting the dummy in your gamebag or training vest familiar scents will be carried to help your dog’s recognition of the retrieve. Carrying the dummy where game scent has been or is present adds the finishing touch of realism to the Original Clone Dead Bird Dummy,
Touch – When making the transition from canvas to feather, dogs can often find the feeling of the head, wings and tails a real issue. These dummies offer you and your dog the opportunity to train in a low pressure environment to overcome the issues of correct pick up, carry and delivery. During product testing Dog & Field found that dogs had to think about their mouth placement and soon developed the skills during training to overcome the added dilemma of flapping wings, a floppy head and tail feathers, thereby helping to prepare them for the real thing when in the field.
The high definition photographic canvas print of real-life gamebird feather patterns are designed specifically with the dog and hander in mind.
