Steve Says: Tom Dokken's Dead Fowl Trainer may be one of the best tools ever designed for training retrievers. Once my pups get old enough to carry them, I switch over to them for the majority of their work.
While you can't substitute using real ducks, the Dokken Ducks allow you to train with the natural weight and feel of a dead bird all the time. It can make a huge difference in your dog's attitude over time. My labs absolutely love them!

By: Christopher Chibbaro from NJStandard Poodle. Pet. Hunting dog. I like everything about this training tool. It is rugged enough to have survived a few winters of training, it holds scent very well. Most importantly it is large enough so a dog will not bite down hard, thus helping if you have a pup with a strong mouth.5 1467 Dokken duck dummy

Great training tool. a little story: while training one day, a friend's labrador decided to retrieve the dummy instead of his normal canvas fetch toy. When he returned, he didn't want to give up the doken and took it into the truck with him where he hid it in the back seat. When someone came around, he would pick up his doken and place it further away from the tail gate as possible until finally he dropped it in his master's seat. He didn't want anyone to take it away from him! The funny part is that his master didn't think he would even like the doken because of the weight.

The water toys I bought, dummies and the Dokken dummy are holding up well, I have to tell you, I am not training water fowl retrievers, I have two lab mixes that are maniacs and one got hurt on a stick, (bad throat injury, she's OK now) so at swim time no more sticks! The dummies are a perfect substitute and are very durable. The Dokken dummy still floats, but "Puppy" took a big hunk out of it. I guess hunting retrievers don't get that rough.
I would recommend your products to anyone who has dogs that llike to swim and retrieve....

The foam body has a few scuffs, and minimal tooth marks (thank god for a non-hard-mouth dog). My only two gripes thus far are that it would have been nice if these came with the throw ball (similar to how GDS provides a throw rope with all their plastic bumpers), and also that the body gets dirt and grass stained very easily. Aside from those two relatively minor issues, this is a pretty good product for keeping your dog trained on size and weight of a real bird, when real birds are hard to come by.

By: Ray O'BrienChesapeake. Hunting dog. Great for dry training... water training is not advised with this product, as the material absorbs alot of water and becomes water-logged. This makes throwing much harder and also makes the dokken bird smell after a couple weeks of water work. Overall I would purchase this again for dry training, but never again for water training. I have found the avery ATB is a much better all around choice as it does not take in water and can be used on dry land as well. It does lack legs and the throwing rope may not hold up quite as well as a dokken rope but the dokken itself wont outlast its own rope.

Dokken's Deadfowl Trainer Duck/Mallard D-100
One of the best tools ever designed for training retrievers.
 
Deadfowl training dummy bodies are made of a soft natural-feel foam with free swinging hard plastic duck head / feet with a natural dead bird weight.
Dokken Dead Fowl Mallards encourage your retriever to make a proper pick up and hold while discouraging your water dog from shaking ducks.
Dokkens Dead Fowl Trainers float in water even when punctured
Retriever training scents may be injected directly into the duck's foam body for added realism.
For water training, Dokkens Mallard Dead Fowl Trainer has no equal when it comes to life-like appearance. You may choose the more visible (whiter) ducks: Pin Tail Deadfowl, Blue Bill Deadfowl trainer, or Red Head Dokken models for younger, less experienced dogs. Look at the less visible (darker) Dokken Mallard (d-100) or Black Duck Dead Fowl training models for the more experienced dogs.
A Pheasant Deadfowl Trainer is available for training upland dogs.
Dead Fowl Trainer Internal Scent System (available separately):
To internally scent your Dead Fowl Trainer: Inject the training scent into the middle of the foam duck body in six different locations using the Dokken's Dead Fowl Scent Injector or a syringe (not provided). The foam body is designed to hold the training scent whether using the dummy in or out of the water. 1/2 to 3/4 ounce of training scent is sufficient.
How to Deodorize Your Dokken Deadfowl Trainer:
Mix 1 qt. 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, a squirt dish soap, and enough warm water to cover your dummy (up to a 1/2 gallon if needed). Soak dummy overnight and rinse off the next day. Set out in the sun to dry.
