SportDOG Canvas Dummies are purpose-built for serious hunters and trainers who want to condition their dogs for real fieldwork. Designed to simulate the size, weight, and scent of actual game, these starter hunting dummies provide the control and realism needed to turn drills into field-ready results. Constructed with rugged canvas, each dummy is built to take a beating from high-drive dogs without breaking down after a few sessions. The canvas shell readily holds game scent, turning each throw into a practical scent drill for sharper, more focused retrieval. Whether you’re preparing for upland, waterfowl, or general field use, this game scent absorber ensures dogs associate the scent with successful returns. The dummies are weighted, helping you train on accuracy and distance. This long-range throw dummy design means handlers can replicate real hunting throws with consistency, helping dogs learn how to mark and retrieve on both land and water. Buoyancy allows for floating action during water retrieves. Since 2003, SportDOG has been the trusted name for hunters, trainers, and outdoor dog owners who need gear that works as hard as their dogs do. Every product is built for rugged conditions and tested by real handlers in the field—not in labs. With a no-fluff approach, expert-developed training resources, and U.S.-based customer care, SportDOG delivers the clarity, control, and durability serious users demand. Whether you’re hunting upland game or exploring off-leash, SportDOG gives you the confidence to train, contain, and communicate with your dog—no matter where the trail leads.

Customers say

Customers find the training dummy works well for their dogs and appreciate its weight, with one noting it’s easy to throw. The size receives mixed feedback – while some say it’s perfect for puppies learning to retrieve, others find it smaller than expected. Moreover, the durability and build quality show mixed results, with some reporting it lasts up to 6 months with puppy teeth while others say it rips within an hour of use. Additionally, the quality and value for money also get mixed reviews, with some finding it good for the price while others consider it poor quality and not worth the money. However, the sand content is a significant issue, with customers reporting that the sand leaks out.

    Weak seams- but great customer service
    UPDATE: I called the company because the dummies come with a 1-yr warranty. Their customer service was excellent. They said its unacceptable and unusual for their dummies to come apart that quickly. They sent two replacement dummies even though only 1 of the two I ordered here had ripped. In the future, I’d be more inclined to order directly from the company.Original review: The dummy arrived on Dec 29 and the seam split on Jan 7. We have a bird hunting dog, so we use the 2 dummies we purchased on a daily basis for training. We toss, he retrieves, and barring his learning curve of how to carry it properly, he never plays with it or chews on it. (He’s 3 now, so he knows how to carry it properly with the occasional playful toss in the air when his puppyness bubbles up. He’s quickly corrected and does it right.) He carries it to us, drops on command (never any tugging), and never has access to it unless he’s training. Other dummies we’ve had from this company have lasted for years with that type of use. I’ve stitched it with high quality thread, but 10 days of use as it was intended before needing a repair is not acceptable.

    Great training bumper
    It’s a great size for puppy and younger dog training when starting out. The canvas is durable and I haven’t had any issues after a few months. Great product and value, would recommend.

    Great for retrieval practice
    I have purchased these for almost 2 years. When one goes bad I just buy another. I have a 2-year-old energetic dog who loves to retrieve. He is a mixed breed with medium drive and he loves working with these. It is a good toss-and-retrieve toy but also the rope makes it a good tug-of-War toy for you and your dog. My only criticism is it does not hold well in water as long as I’d like. For that reason, we mostly play with this in the yard or at a park. It is bright and easy for him to find when training and I like that I can spray it with a scent for scent practice as well. We will continue to purchase as each one gets worn down too much.

    Do not buy: Garbage product
    Very poorly constructed. Lasted 15 minutes and appears to be packed with sawdust and makes quite a mess once punctured.

    Best retrieval toy I’ve used
    I have a lab. When the weather cooperates, she loves nothing more than to retrieve from the water. This is the only toy that has not fallen apart. Very durable. Everything sewn together, not glued. Heavy duty canvas

    My dog loves it. For water use only
    Got two. First one lasted three 1hr dog park trips. The first trip, the sand bag inside (weighting) buted open after about 10 throws landing on grassy field. 3rd trip another dog tried to play tug with mine and it ripped open in about 3 seconds.However, for use as water retriever toy, it worked great with no damage. For the price and this use. It’s a great productBTW, construction is a medium thickness sewn canvas outside. Inside is a flexible foam tube (looks like pipe insulation). Inside one end of the tube is a thin walled plastic bag with what looks like dirt, bit could be sand.

    Our Puppy’s Favorite Toy!
    Got this when our pup was 5 months old- she’s 8 months now and it’s still her favorite and in great shape! It got her over her fear of water and let her instincts kick in. Great for water or land. She prefers it over balls, rubber or tennis! We’ll definitely be buying again in the future.

    It’s a good quality canvas bumper. But it’s not a jumbo sized bumper. Great for puppies and teaching to hold when retrieving

    There are some reviews stating they were chewed apart. Bumpers are for supervised training. They are not chew toys. If used for their proper purpose they will last for decades.

    Mon chien aime beaucoup!Lorsque le chien mord trop fort, un bruit “pop” se fait entendre donc il est facile de corriger le chien pour éviter qu’il ne mord trop fort. Prendre note qu’il est quand même lourd donc reproduit bien le poids d’un oiseau.
