Weak seams- but great customer service
UPDATE: I called the company because the dummies come with a 1-yr warranty. Their customer service was excellent. They said its unacceptable and unusual for their dummies to come apart that quickly. They sent two replacement dummies even though only 1 of the two I ordered here had ripped. In the future, I’d be more inclined to order directly from the company.Original review: The dummy arrived on Dec 29 and the seam split on Jan 7. We have a bird hunting dog, so we use the 2 dummies we purchased on a daily basis for training. We toss, he retrieves, and barring his learning curve of how to carry it properly, he never plays with it or chews on it. (He’s 3 now, so he knows how to carry it properly with the occasional playful toss in the air when his puppyness bubbles up. He’s quickly corrected and does it right.) He carries it to us, drops on command (never any tugging), and never has access to it unless he’s training. Other dummies we’ve had from this company have lasted for years with that type of use. I’ve stitched it with high quality thread, but 10 days of use as it was intended before needing a repair is not acceptable.

Great training bumper
It’s a great size for puppy and younger dog training when starting out. The canvas is durable and I haven’t had any issues after a few months. Great product and value, would recommend.

Lasted 20 minutes, but my animals are ANIMALS!!!
The puppy weight is great, color is awesome! I bought this size and a bigger one for later. I have 2 puppies, one malinois and one labrabull, both 4 months. The cord was done immediately upon retrieval (Iâm assuming the lab/bull) and was brought back cordless, found chewed in half. I still use it, but Iâm really unimpressed with the fabric and stitching. I guess I expected this to be more durable for puppies.Being fair, these dogs are young, insane chewers and things get ruined instantly. We live in a wooded area and I cannot always keep up with them before finding them. This is a training tool and not a chew toy despite their telling me itâs the opposite. I think Iâll wait before I open the bigger one.So in my opinion, if you have not so insane dogs, I think these will be great and Iâm looking forward to using the larger one when I can get these jerks under better control, as they only are bringing back 50% of the time, spending the other trying to destroy it in privacy. Maybe they hate me? Off to spend $$$$ to save my sanity.

Great Duck Dummie
My dog is not a hunting dog but is 100% Retriever. The dummy weighs almost 15 oz so it works the dog when he retrieves. The product is made from cotton canvas and holds up fairly well. It traps dirt but I hand wash every use. The rope is about 16″ long and is useful to throw the dummy. After three months of work, the dummy has only one string loose and there are no cuts on the exterior. Overall, this is a fun training tool.

Disappointing Quality – Not Worth the Money
I purchased the SportDOG Brand Canvas Dummies for my dog, expecting a durable training tool. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. After just a few uses, the stitching came out in numerous places, causing the sand inside to spill out completely. Itâs essentially a cheap dog toy that falls apart far too quickly. Save your money and invest in a higher-quality alternative. This one just doesnât hold up.

Do not last.
My dog loves chasing these. I like the weight, and size. However, the eyelet lets go and becomes loose, within the first week. Has to be cut off or it will cut you throwing it, or cut the dogs mouth.The canvas usually rips at the top or the sand blows out of the bottom. Iâve bought 5-6 of these. Donât last longer than a month.Searching for a stronger product.

A Top-Notch Training Tool for Hunting Dogs
The SportDOG Brand Canvas Dummies are a top-notch training tool for hunting dogs. Their durable construction, realistic design, and versatility make them an essential addition to any training regimen. If youâre looking for a reliable and effective way to train your hunting dog, these dummies are an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

There are some reviews stating they were chewed apart. Bumpers are for supervised training. They are not chew toys. If used for their proper purpose they will last for decades.

This training dummy has a nice mass for throwing and retrieving and seems well built. I have used them for training adult retrievers and they last quite well. I got two other dummies from an internationally known outdoor store but they didnât last long. This one is better.

Itâs a good quality canvas bumper. But itâs not a jumbo sized bumper. Great for puppies and teaching to hold when retrieving
Amazon Customer –
Nice and heavy to teach the dog the true weight of a medium-sized bird. The canvas can withstand falls on any surface, as well as any mouthing from the dog. The thick long cord allows for a wide swing and long distance.

Aunque no está hecho de un material resistente, por el precio me parece justa la compra.
