Fenriz by Procyon Duck Dummy with fur - 250 g
If you want a retrieve dummy that feels more realistic to your dog, but is still lightweight, practical and durable, then the Fenriz by Procyon Duck Dummy with fur 250 g is a great match. It is a classic training dummy built for repetition, and it is especially suitable for those who train retrieve, hunt or just want to give your dog meaningful activation that actually moves something.
The “duck”-inspired shape combined with sewn-on faux fur makes it extra interesting for the dog. It triggers natural instincts without you having to use real fur. And yes — it floats too, so you can take your training to the water.
Why a “duck dummy” provides extra value
Many dogs learn to retrieve faster and better when the dummy resembles something “real.” It’s not about making it fancy — it’s about motivation and correct grip.
The duck shape + fur part can help with:
-
more natural interest in collecting
-
better bearing and fewer "chewing habits"
-
more realistic transition to hunting-related training
At the same time, it is easy enough to build up the technique correctly, especially if you are training a young dog or a smaller breed.
Floats in water with plastic granules
The dummy is filled with plastic granules so it can float. This makes it ideal for:
-
water intake in a lake or stream
-
water safety training
-
varied activation when you want to challenge the dog's focus
It is also a safer solution because you don't have to worry about losing the dummy in the reeds or current if the dog is new to water work.
Line for long casts and better control
The dummy has a string so you can cast far more easily. This gives:
-
more variation in distances
-
better training flow, especially alone
-
less strain on your arm/shoulder
The cord is a simple detail, but in practice it makes your training more effective.
Heavy duty canvas for long durability
Canvas is the old, tried and tested classic in dummy training — because it lasts. Fenriz by Procyon has chosen a strong canvas that can withstand:
-
rain, moisture and mud
-
many repetitions
-
dog teeth and pull
If you want to think sustainably in your dog training, this is one of the most practical ways: buy equipment that lasts longer so you don't have to replace it all the time.
Weight 250 g: who is it suitable for?
250 g is a very useful size, especially for:
Perfect for:
-
smaller dog breeds
-
puppies and young dogs in development
-
technique training (grip, passing, calm)
-
dogs that need to have many repetitions without overloading
If you have a large, strong hunting dog and want to train more “heavy” and realistically, you can later supplement with a 500g version. But as a base, 250g is a really strong place to start.
Training tips that work
1) Start close
Short throw, quick success, calm delivery.
2) Reward the submission
This is where you build a stable retriever — not in how far you can throw.
3) Change environment
The garden, the field, the forest and the water's edge. Variety creates a confident dog.
4) Dry the dummy after water training
Air dry = longer lifespan.
