Dokken Dead Fowl Pheasant Dummy

Dokken Dead Fowl Pheasant Dummy

The Dokken Dead Fowl Pheasant Dummy gives you a realistic way to teach a gundog how to properly hold and carry a pheasant. Shaped and coloured like a dead pheasant, it combines a life-like appearance and feel with Dokken’s distinctive hard-ended design.

Dokken developed the original DeadFowl Trainer specifically to address the way dogs hold and carry game birds. Rather than using a conventional cylindrical dummy, the DeadFowl design recreates the shape of a bird, helping the dog practise retrieving something that feels and behaves more like game.

The body uses a soft, durable material with a scent-injectable construction. You can therefore introduce pheasant scent to make training more realistic, while the bird-shaped design gives the dog a familiar form to pick up and carry.

Dokken Dead Fowl Pheasant Dummy Key Features

• Realistic pheasant shape and colouring
• Designed to teach correct hold and carry
• Soft, durable scent-injectable body
• Life-like look and feel
• Hard construction at both ends
• Free-swinging head
• Patented Dokken DeadFowl design

The free-swinging head forms a key part of the Dokken design. When a dog grabs the dummy incorrectly and shakes its head aggressively, the hard head delivers a sharp whack to the dog’s snout. This discourages unwanted head shaking and helps reinforce a more controlled hold.

The hard-ended construction also distinguishes the DeadFowl Trainer from a standard soft retrieving dummy. The body remains soft and durable, while the ends provide the physical characteristics that make the design work as a training aid.

The pheasant shape and colouring make this model particularly relevant when training a dog for pheasant retrieving. Its realistic form gives the dog experience handling the proportions and shape of a game bird rather than a conventional bumper.

Dokken’s patented DeadFowl design has remained the foundation of its bird trainers since the original was developed. For handlers who want to work on correct hold and carry using a purpose-designed game-bird dummy, the Dokken Dead Fowl Pheasant Dummy combines realistic form with a distinctive training mechanism.
