Gun Dog Dummies & Launchers

A good gun dog is made long before the first drive of the season. Our range of gun dog dummies and launchers gives you the tools to build steady, reliable retrieves at home, in the field and on the training ground. Whether you are starting a young dog or sharpening an experienced worker, the right gun dog dummy brings structure to every session and confidence to every shoot day.

Why Training With Gun Dog Dummies Works

Dummies have been part of gun dog work for generations. They let you teach a clean pick-up, a soft mouth and a tidy delivery to hand without the need for game. Our gun dog training dummies come in a range of weights, sizes and finishes, so you can match the dummy to your dog's age and stage. Lighter canvas dummies suit young dogs and early lessons, while heavier dummies help a working dog prepare for the weight of a bird. Bright colours make a dummy easy for you to spot, and natural tones test your dog's nose rather than its eyes.

Gun Dog Dummy Launchers for Distance and Marking

A gun dog dummy launcher adds height, distance and noise to your training, recreating the feel of a real shoot day. Launchers help your dog learn to mark a fall at range, stay steady to the sound of a shot and wait for the command before going. They are a practical step up for handlers preparing a dog for driven days, rough shooting or picking up, and they bring variety to sessions that might otherwise become routine.

Built for Rugged Environments

Training rarely happens in perfect weather. Every gun dog training dummy in our collection is chosen for durable construction that stands up to wet grass, thick cover, water retrieves and repeated use. Hard-wearing covers, strong stitching and secure throwing toggles mean your kit keeps working through the seasons, ready for training sessions and shooting days alike.
