Dokken Diver Head DetailDokken Diver Tail Detail




The Dokken's Diver simulates a wounded duck trying to escape by diving. The Dokken's Diver will teach your dog how to circle in the water watching for the duck to resurface.

Begin by reeling a short distance underwater, let the Dokken's Diver surface. When your dog locates the Dokken's Diver give a sharp jerk on the rod to release the dummy. As your dog's confidence grows, increase the number of dives and the distance under water. Your dog will love this practice, and we guarantee you will recover more ducks.

FOR BEST RESULTS: Use a medium to stiff fishing rod, a spinning or bait casting reel. Use no stretch line.

Directions for assembly:

1. Rubber band must be inside foam slot to avoid early release.
2. Knots need to be separated and must be facing hook.
3. Ring must be attached to hook on dummy for casting.
4. Please note assembly when opening so rubber bands can be replaced and product reassembled. Product requires 2 rubber bands for proper operation. If bird releases too easily, tuck knots further into foam slot.

Great idea, may need some improvement
January 19, 2023
My 4 yo black lab male hasn't had much experience with diving birds. He would swim in circles and dunk his head even though the bird popped up a few yards away. Hard to see birds when your head is under water! He stubbornly refused to be handled away from where he "knew" the bird was, so I needed a training solution.

We have only had one session with this, and I sense some progress by the dog when things went right, so 3 stars might be too low. The issue we had is that on 1/3 of the time the decoy wouldn't go under water, even when I stuck the fish rod tip a foot under the surface. It seems like the decoy landed "upside down" and the bevel wouldn't take the decoy under in those instances. We are using a braided non stretch line.
Pros
  • The concept is solid, and when the decoy works the dog has a chance to learn.
Cons
  • So far, it hasn't always gone under and out of sight to allow the dog to learn to look for a cripple to resurface. It may be the rod I am using but it is hard to cast it more than about 15 yards.

This product is so much fun! My dogs love chasing after it and having it dive to teach them about wounded birds is so crucial! Product works perfectly and is well made. Definitely recommend to have for summer training and around waterfowl dogs.
Pros
  • Easy to use and came with great instructions. Well made foam duck dummy with plastic head encourages proper retrieving.
Cons
  • Super addicting to play with

Review for Dokken Diver -- Dives Like a Wounded Duck
July 28, 2016
I rated it only average because I have only begun to use it. It is not diving as much as I hoped and my lab is able to follow it. I was hoping she would lose sight of it and have to reacquire it. But it is useful in that she is forced to follow a wounded duck.

Works great so far. Really does dive and mimic a wounded duck for training!
