Fenriz Dummy - Orange for retrieving and hunting training

Fenriz Dummy - Orange - If you are looking for a dog dummy that simply does the job, then the Fenriz by Procyon Dummy in orange is a strong choice. The dummy is designed for retrieving training, and it is also ideal for those who train for hunting or work with more targeted retriever training. Classic setup, solid quality, and a color that is easy to spot in the terrain. Period.

This dummy is designed for repetitions. Many repetitions. It is sewn from heavy canvas, has a rope for longer throws, and is filled with plastic granules so it can float. This means you can use it both on land and in water, without having to baby it.

Why it makes sense in training

Floats in water
The plastic granule filling allows the dummy to float. This is quite essential if you are training water retrieving or want to build confidence in the dog around water work.

Cord for longer throws
The cord makes it easier to achieve longer throws. This creates more realistic retrieving situations, and you can vary the difficulty without changing your entire training plan.

Heavy canvas, built to last
Canvas is a traditional favorite in dummy training because it holds up to teeth, pulling, and moisture better than many "cheap" fabrics. This one is made to be used, not just to sit nicely in a basket.

Produced in Europe
If you care about animal welfare and more responsible choices, then European production is a plus. Shorter transport, better control, and often a higher standard.

Which weight should you choose, 250 g or 500 g

This is where many go wrong. So here it is, straight out of the bag:

250 g
Good for puppies, young dogs, smaller breeds, and for fine technical training. Also great if you train many repetitions and want to spare the dog's neck and shoulders.

500 g
Better for medium to large dogs, and for those who want to train a more realistic grip, carry, and calm delivery. The extra weight can provide a more stable retrieve, especially in wind and tall grass.

My take: If in doubt, and the dog is adult and robust, then 500 g is typically the most versatile. If you are building a foundation and want to keep it light and easy, then start with 250 g.

How to use the dummy smarter, not harder

To get the most out of dummy training, it's not about throwing far every time. It's about structure:

1) Start with short, easy successes
Short distance, clear reward, calm delivery. This is how you build a dog that loves the task and understands it.

2) Train delivery as a habit
Reward calmness at your side. Not a fight for the dummy. That's old-school retriever logic, and it still works.

3) Change environment
Grass, forest floor, sand, shallow water. Variation makes the dog flexible and future-proofs your training.

4) Keep it safe
Dummy training is active training. Always use the dummy under supervision, and stop if the dog starts tearing it apart.

Durability and maintenance

Canvas is robust, but all equipment lasts longer with simple habits:

• Rinse the dummy after use in saltwater or mud
• Let it air dry, not on a direct radiator
• Store in a dry and cool place
• Check seams and cord regularly, especially if you throw hard and often

Who is it suitable for

This Fenriz dummy is a match for:

• Retriever training and retrieving at all levels
• Hunting training, where you want something that can withstand terrain
• Water retrieving, because it floats
