    The Avery HexaBumper 6-sided design offers advanced technology that eliminates many disadvantages of round dummies.

    Available as singles or in 6-packs.

    Features:

  • 2" x 10"
  • Approx. 8 ounces
  • VGrips promote soft mouth with superior hold
  • Hexagon shape helps reduce chomping tendency
  • Six flat sides offer dogs easier grip & hold
  • Valveless design will never take on water
  • Size works for training large dogs but is easy for small dogs to retrieve

    Color Options:

  • White is the most common bumper because it is visible on most backgrounds.
  • Orange is for blind retrieves since dogs cannot distinguish it.
  • B/W Flasher is perfect for mark training. Alternating panels create a "strobe" that is visible to dogs on most backgrounds.

    Pro Tips:

      Your dog can't mark what he can't see so be fair to him by selecting the appropriate color bumper for each scenario. Training situations change often and can vary from one mark to the next in the same set up so make sure you have several of each color bumper when you head out for training. This simple rule of thumb will help you maximize your training time and efficiency.

      Round up your bumpers and store them in a bag or bucket at the end of each training session. A bumper that is lying around becomes an invitation to a young dog to chew on. Not only is this negative reinforcement to your dog's mark training, but it is almost sure to get you an expensive and unnecessary trip to your vet's office. If you keep it simple, you'll avoid complications!

  • BLACK/WHITE Avery Regular HexaBumpers

    Steve Says:

    Transcript from Steve's Video:

    This is the Avery HexaBumper. The HexaBumper is a little different from every other bumper on the market in that instead of being round, it is a six-sided dummy. It changes the way the dog grips it just a little bit, which has been real popular with folks. The V-grip design is set up to help the dog hold it in his mouth easier, especially when it's wet and slimy.

    It comes in three different colors -- white, which is easiest for your dogs to see, orange, which is hardest for your dogs to see, mainly used for blind retrieves, and then what's called a flasher, which is a little different. It's a black and white dummy. Little different from most black and white dummies that we've seen. Generally, black and white dummies are half black and half white on this side, where the flasher has black and white sides. It looks a little different when it's going through the air.

    The beauty of a black and white dummy is that it's going to stand out in any background situation. It's going to be easier for the dog to see when it's going through the air. It's going to be easier to see on a dark background or a light background, so they are great for marking.

    All the Avery dummies come with a throw rope already attached, even in different colors. You can get black and white with the black and white. You get white with the white dummy. And then you get black with the orange.

    Comes in two different sizes. The regular size is 2x10. The jumbo size is 3x11. I like a jumbo size because it's a little more natural for a dog. It gets them used to picking up either a duck or a pheasant. So, as they get bigger I'm going to go with a bigger size dummy. It's just a little more getting them used to what they're going to be doing in the field.

    Perfect for throwing in Dock Diving
    July 26, 2022
    My dog and I compete in Dock Diving and use these bumpers. Nice weight, tough, perfect fit for my smaller hands. We have the same bumper from a big dog food company, but they are pink. LOVE THEM!!

    • Perfect size for small dogs and hands
    • Tough for a bitey dog
    • Good price
    Cons

    My dogs Love Avery Bumpers
    April 2, 2021
    I don't have hunting dogs, but that is not the only type of dog that can benefit from this great product. Bogie is the #1 Dock Diving Doberman in NADD for 3 years running, He only jumps for his Avery black and white bumpers. They hold up well to his constant "chomping" and the weight is perfect. My other Dobe does not dock dive but also loves the bumpers. There are many Dock Divers who use these bumpers on the dock.

    Awesome field and training bumper
    March 31, 2021
    I love this bumper. Training puppy at young age no air valve for them to get distracted with. As growing continues to be a valuable tool for training Lab retriever. Northeast ice have not run in water yet, but I do not expect any problems. My dog loves these so much that I will be using this bumper in stead of others for his initial water training.
    Pros
    • No air valve, durable, awesome grips, love it!!
    Cons
    • No air value for changing water conditions but that's what I like about this one.

    My dog loves playing fetch with this toy!
    September 4, 2020
    My 16 week old GSP Agnes just LOVES this toy. She can play fetch with it until she just plops down exhausted! It is great, easy to see and lightweight to throw numerous times. Will get a larger one when she is fully grown.
    Pros
    • Lightweight and easy to see and gives my dog options of picking up by the rope or bumper.
    Cons
    • My dog has already undone one of the knots that keeps the rope attached.

    Love the Hexabumper
    September 3, 2020
    It's great for training and playing with your dogs. It's small enough to fit comfortably in the waistband of your shorts to be brought out as a reward. The white color is easily seen on creeks and on the Sound.

    Dogs love the toy
    April 20, 2023
    My 2 labs love this toy, a little too much. The dogs were very excited to play with it but the rubber is soft and the toy only lasted 20 min before they had the rope off and the rubber torn apart.

    Not great
    October 12, 2022
    Rope is too thick for optional power throw ball. If you dog likes to bite hard this will not float for long. Buy the rhino foam filled one instead
    Pros
    • Small for puppy
    Cons
    • Easily punctured

    By Eddie S.

    These bumpers cracked and broke into on the first day of use.
    April 29, 2022
    These bumpers are prone to cracking and will break into if your dog is an aggressive playe..
    Pros
    • Soft and flexible material, but heavy enough for easy throwing.
    Cons
    • Cracks and break easily (same place).

    These were not actually the ones I thought I was ordering, but that was my mistake. These work great.
    February 18, 2022
    My training friends have gone to a meeting Avery bumper that is larger at the ends than in the center.
    I intended to ordering that, but these were on sale and they are just fine. Go

    Not the quality I was expecting
    February 11, 2022
    The dummies were slightly smaller than what I consider normal size. The ropes are not the best either, They could be a few inches longer and out of a material so that the knots do not come untied. And lastly, I was buying them because one of my dogs is tough on dummies, I thought this product would withstand the punishment but within a couple weeks one of the dummies broke in half.

    Great Product Just One Slight Criticism
    November 23, 2021
    I upgraded to these throwing dummies from the softer type with the valves. I love the feel and the weight of these and my dog has no problem fetching them. I purchased the black and white striped color for better winter visibility as my other set were only white. I don't use these to train for hunting my dog is a pet who loves to play fetch.

    My one and only criticism of these is that, in my opinion, the rope is about 4 inches too short. My other dummies had rope about 12 inches long and these are about 8 which, for me, makes a huge difference in how far you can throw them. Thankfully I purchased extra ropes when I bought my other set so I switched them out and all is well.
    Pros
    • Good construction, easy grip for the dog. Good coloring.
    Cons
    • Rope is too short for good throwing.

    After using several different brands of bumpers I have found that these Avery bumpers are the most versatile bumper. They are weighted correctly to allow for longer and more accurate throws. The rope is of good quality and the size of the bumper is perfect. This is the only bumper I will use moving forward.
