What do you need to successfully train your dog? Other than Tri-tronics electronic collars and SportDOG training collars, one of the hunting dog supplies you’ll need is the dog training bumper. The ideal one for training your retriever is one that is made to last for repetitive use, and flexible, soft plastic.

Hallmark Dog Training Bumpers

Dog training bumpers come in a variety of styles and sizes to meet the needs of anyone training a retriever. Hallmark makes a variety of superb quality training bumpers including those made of plastic or foam. When selecting your bumpers you have an option of solid plastic, canvas covered or feather holding. Each offers a durable, realistic feeling, non toxic way to help you train your dog on retrieval. One of the added features of these bumpers is your ability to hold the scent of a duck – this can make training your dog that much easier.

Whatever kind of training bumper you get, make sure they’re:

A) Superb construction
B) Durable materials
C) Safe, non-toxic materials

When training a puppy, you may want to use the plastic training bumpers. They are more cost-effective than other models and come in a wide range of brighter colors. This allows for easy detection by both you and your dog when you’re out training with your hunting dog.

Dog training dummies

For easier, better training, you should look for training dummies that will not sink when thrown in water. You can use foam-bodied dummies in conjunction with others to effectively train your dog to retrieve when you’re hunting out on the field. To clear up any confusion, bumpers and dummies are the same thing, although the words are different. Both terms are used to refer to training tools used to simulate fowl for purposes of training your dog to retrieve, hunt, and bring game back to you. You can also turn tto Dokken for a great line of dummies that can be used for all types of training for hunting dogs.

How to use dog training bumpers and dog training dummies

To get the most out of these useful tools, it’s recommended that you use them with scent. Duck and goose scents are readily available in most hunting supply stores. The scent is usually injected into the dummies (bumpers) and is a valuable added tool for successfully training your retriever.
