Description
Build steadier, more confident retrieves with the KONG Wild Shieldz Training Dummy. Throw it far, watch it fly true, and let it pop right back to the surface so your dog can spot it and grab it fast. Whether you're prepping a young retriever for hunt tests, sharpening dock diving starts, or just channeling backyard energy into focused fetch, this floating dummy turns every session into productive work.
Key Features
- Triple-coated, sealed exterior: Count on tough, water-ready protection that resists waterlogging and stands up to repeated splash-session retrieves.
- Buoyancy-boosting lower section: Keep the dummy riding high on the surface so your dog gets clean mouth placement on the first grab.
- 8-inch braided paracord rope: Grip, launch, and reset quickly — the rope handle adds throwing distance and keeps you in control at the shoreline.
- Weight-forward feel: Carry momentum for longer, straighter throws and truer flight, even on windy days over open water.
- High-visibility orange and white: Spot the dummy fast in waves, glare, brush, or low light — and help your dog do the same.
- Two size classes: Choose Sm/Md for smaller mouths and new learners, or Md/Lg for bigger fetch fans and working breeds.
How to Use
Start with short tosses on land, reward quick returns, and build distance as confidence grows. Move to ponds, lakes, pools, or the dock to practice marks, lining, and delivery to hand. Mix short sends for beginners with long casts for seasoned swimmers to keep sessions upbeat, and use the rope to launch accurately without straining your arm.
