Avery, EZ Bird Mallard, Flasher
Successful retriever training starts in a controlled environment and transitions to real-world performance in the field. The Avery EZ Bird Mallard Flasher is designed to bridge that gap by helping your dog develop confident marking and retrieving skills that translate directly to hunting situations.
Built for effective yard work, this black and white retriever training dummy features raised VGrip tooth-locks that promote a secure, correct hold on every retrieve. The integrated long-throw knob allows for easy, accurate placement of marks during training drills.
What sets the Mallard Flasher apart is its built-in strobe effect, which enhances visibility and helps your dog lock onto the mark more quickly and accurately. This added visual cue is especially valuable when working young dogs learning to mark.

During yard sessions and field drills, this training tool supports repeatable mark-and-retrieve patterns that mirror field conditions. In practice, the visual strobe helps a handler draw a dog's attention to the fetch area, reducing hesitation in windy or cluttered environments. The floating head and foam filling provide buoyant behavior that favors consistent pickup and controlled retrieves. Scent can be refreshed as needed to maintain cueing without altering the setup. After use, rinse away dirt and let the dummy air dry in a ventilated area to preserve the PVC exterior. Inspect for wear as part of routine maintenance, and store dry between sessions. The setup supports upland training and waterfowl retrieval practice while aligning with field-trial readiness and breed-specific working needs.
