Soak dummy overnight and rinse off the next day. Set out in the sun to dry.   Steve Says: Dokken Deadfowl Mallard 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! 
Transcript from Steve's Video: This is a Dokken dead fowl mallard. This is one of my favorite products that we sell. Designed by Tom Dokken, this is the closest you can get to a real duck for your dog to retrieve. Dead fowl trainers are made of a foam that has the weight and the feel of a dead duck. It is designed for your dog to have the correct hold on a bird. The dead fowl trainer has a hard head, has a foam body, has hard feet, and then the throw rope is included and it actually passes through the body. It's the same rope that attaches the head, so real secure. The design with this, because of the foam, you can actually inject scent straight into the body. It's just designed to teach that dog to go for the middle of the bird. You will find, too, that if you have a dog that shakes, if he shakes the head is designed to actually give him a small correction. So it will stop dogs from shaking birds. Just a really neat device.  This is a great tool. It's a great way for your dog to get used to picking up birds. We start dogs on them as young as four or five months with the smaller teal, then we move them up to the mallard. Just a really great product. My dogs absolutely love them. We occasionally run across a dog that once you move over to dead fowl trainers, they don't like to go back to dummies. They only want to pick up these and they want to pick up birds.  Steve Snell

Favorite Pool Toy
June 10, 2023
I buy two ducks a year, one for each dog. One for the Lab and one for the Springer Spaniel. This is their favorite pool toy and they do not put them down. They get used about 5 days a week and year around.

Great realistic trainer
April 21, 2023
My dog loves this...she likes to carry it around after retrieving it. I can't say how much the addition of scent helped, but she does seem to find it readily in dense cover.She has a tendency to hold cylindrical dummies by the flap on the end where the rope attaches, but she holds this dummy on the main part of the body...the design including the hard head and feet promote that.

The Dokken training dummy is my Lab's first choice in dummies to retrieve. It's about the size of a real duck (her true favorite retrieve). When we are heading out to do some retrieves, she always looks at the cabinet where the Dokken is kept.

Dokken Mallard Adds Excitement
April 11, 2025
The Dokken mallard duck has added excitgement for my dog for our training and been a big help in training him to get a proper hold on a larger duck. Being able to inject scent has also been a plus in training to find duck on a blind retrieve.

Must Have
May 10, 2023
Great product...we use extensively when training marking skills. Consistent throws out of our Zinger Winger launchers or for that matter when hand thrown. Just really nice change up when your dog needs a little change up or extra excitement to push through tough sessions. Naturally improves dogs mouth habits when retrieving so that is great bonus. Dogs just love them!!!

Really like these for certain training aspects. Very visable in the air and on the ground and a bit smaller than the mallards and thus launch out of the wingers farther.

Dokken is the gold standard for trainers
April 20, 2023
I am very pleased with my Dokken training ducks. Initially purchased the smaller size for my very young pup. She has grown quickly and is now 4.5 months old and ready for a full size bird. She was a bit puzzled on the first retrieve as the dummy had grown, but quickly figured out the right placement in her mouth and she was so pleased bringing it back!

River's retrieval
March 22, 2023
Excellent life size looking piece! The detail is excellent. Only suggestion is to add a throwing 'knob' at the end of the duck's rope to more easily thrown.

Like the weight and size; Don't like the lack of knob on the rope
January 2, 2023
Like the size, but without a knob on the end of the rope, it's difficult to really throw as far as a bumper.

Excellent Training dummies for real feel and grabbing the correct area for retrieves. I use this bigger size for older dogs and this color for visibility purposes.

While we haven't used these in water yet (ponds and small lakes are frozen over), we are using this duck in the house for the older dogs to get used to the weight and balance of it. So far the dogs love it and will retrieve it.

Extremely realistic in every detail from the weight and size, to the way it sits in the water, all the way down to the waterfowl band on the foot. Couldn't be happier. Seems very sturdy and should last a long time.

Good training duck
August 24, 2021
I got this to train my GSP as a versatile dog. She retrieves toys but she was not sure about this trainer tool at first. After swinging it around to get her excited about it and playing around with it she is retrieving it properly.The duck is a realistic size and shape, and is very durable. I can swing it as hard as I can throw and it just bounces off the ground and does not show more sign of wear than grass smudges.Now she is has little interest in her old toys and just wants this one. I added the duck scent stick to spice it up too.

Good Retrieving Dummy

It was time for my dog to move up to larger retrieving dummy and the dead fowl trainer work great. It is a lot heavier than the normal bumpers.
