@sportingdoggoods: Same dummy every session? You might be holding your dog back 😅🐾 Mixing up your dummies = a more confident + reliable gundog. Different sizes, weights, textures… even adding scent 👉 it all matters. Real retrieves aren’t predictable, so training shouldn’t be either. Here’s why you should mix up what dummies your train with: •Builds confidence with new retrieves • Improves hold • Stops pattern training • Keeps things fun & engaging We noticed with our young mix breed Hope. That she wouldn’t pick anything unless it was canvas or fur! This was because we only used those kind of dummies. We managed to train her to pick the bumper style dummies and dokkens 🙌🏼 Train for the real world, not just the training field 💪 #gundogtraining #workingdogs #retrievertraining #fieldwork #dogtrainingtip
