The Avery PerfectHold Dummy redefines retriever training with an innovative dumbbell structure featuring enlarged hex-shaped ends. This purposeful design encourages accurate retrieves and soft mouth habits by prompting your dog to pick up the bumper directly from the center rather than chomping the ends.

Built with a firm, durable outer shell and a valveless, leak-proof design, this training tool delivers a realistic bird-like feel and stays completely buoyant during intense water drills. Each dummy includes a floating 10-inch throw rope for effortless long-distance tosses in fields, marshes, and ponds.
