Description
Give your retriever a target they can't miss. The KONG Wild Shieldz Training Dummy Swirl pairs the same rugged, water-ready build as the classic Wild Shieldz dummy with an eye-catching swirl pattern that stands out against water, sky, and brush. Train water-loving dogs for dock diving or hunting work while channeling natural fetch instincts into focused, rewarding sessions.
Key Features
- High-visibility swirl pattern: Help your dog mark the fall and track the dummy quickly on the surface, even in chop or glare.
- Triple-coated, sealed exterior: Resist waterlogging and hold up to repeated retrieves, splashy grabs, and rough carries.
- Buoyant design: Keep the dummy riding high on the water so your dog gets a clean, confident mouth hold on the first try.
- 8-inch braided paracord rope: Launch longer, straighter throws with less arm strain, and reset the next retrieve fast.
- Weight-forward performance: Add momentum for truer flight and better marks on windy days over open water.
- Sized for athletes: The Md/Lg size class fits bigger fetch fans, sporting breeds, and working retrievers.
How to Use
Begin with short tosses and reward quick, clean returns. As your dog gains confidence, stretch the distance at the pond, pool, or dock to build marks, lining, and delivery to hand. Use it to prep young dogs for hunt tests, keep seasoned swimmers sharp in the off-season, or simply burn energy with purposeful fetch that beats backyard boredom.

Rinse with fresh water after chlorine, salt, or muddy field sessions and let it air-dry before storage. Supervise play — this is a training and fetch tool, not a chew toy — and replace it if worn to keep sessions safe and fun.
