Most training dummies are built to be thrown. This one is built to be heavy.

The DogBone 3 lb Heavy Dummy was designed for one purpose — to introduce real weight into your dog's training program before he ever faces it in the field. At 11 inches by 4.5 inches and weighing 3 pounds, it replicates the size and feel of a big duck, a large pheasant, or is the stepping stone to work up to our 6 lb Heavy Dummy, which replicates the weight and size of a large candian goose.

For versatile gundog trainers working toward larger game, it's the first step in a weight progression that builds confidence, strength, and commitment on the pick-up.

If your dog has only ever retrieved a standard dummy, the first time he runs to a big bird is not the moment you want him figuring out how to handle weight. Train it in first.

Built the DogBone Way

The same poly firehose casing used across our entire dummy lineup — woven for durability, built to hold up through years of hard training. Filled with gravel for consistent, realistic weight. Handmade in Green Bay, Wisconsin and backed by our lifetime guarantee.

Note: The Heavy Dummy is a land training tool. Due to its gravel fill, it does not float. For water retrieve work, pair it with the DogBone Large Firehose Dummy.
