Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer, Mallard
The Dokken Mallard dog training dummy is made hard on both ends with a soft, durable, scent-injectable body. This allows you to easily add liquid scent or scent wax to the dummy, providing a real-life hunting experience for your dog. The scent-enabled design allows your dog to get used to the smell of the birds they will be hunting, making their training sessions incredibly realistic.
One of the unique features of this training dummy is the hard, free-swinging head. This design discourages aggressive head shaking by delivering a sharp wrap to the snout of the dog whenever it shakes its head too aggressively. This feature is part of Dokken's patented design and forms the foundation of all Dokken's Dead Fowl Trainers.
The Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer, Mallard is more than just a training dummy, it is a tool for success. Train hard, leave nothing to chance and let your dog master bird retrieval with the Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer, Mallard by Dokken Dog Supply, Inc.
Durable construction supports repeated retrieves in field trials and rough upland conditions, while maintaining realistic handling during waterfowl training. Handlers can introduce scent cues by injecting liquid scent or wax into the body to mirror the odor of birds encountered in the field, which helps dogs associate scent with retrieves. The head design remains a key safety feature, reducing head shaking by delivering a controlled wrap during enthusiastic grabs, protecting the dog's snout and improving training discipline. For care, rinse off mud after sessions and let the dummy air-dry away from direct heat to preserve both material integrity and scent loading. Inspect seams and the head assembly regularly to catch wear before it affects performance. Store in a cool, dry place between uses to maintain scent accuracy and material condition. Returning it to a dry, shaded storage area after sessions helps maintain performance.
