Fenriz by Procyon Dummy with fur – 500g
Fenriz by Procyon Dummy with fur 500 gr. - If you want to train retrieving and hunting in a way that more closely resembles "the real world", then the Fenriz by Procyon Dummy with fur 500g is exactly the type of equipment you should reach for. It is made for serious training, but without being cumbersome: it floats, it can be thrown far, and it has an imitation fur part that makes the experience more realistic for the dog.
This is the classic approach to retrieve training: keep it simple, keep it consistent, use equipment that can take a beating. Then slowly build up the difficulty, as has always been done with skilled retrieve dogs. At the same time, this dummy is designed with a more forward-thinking twist: imitation fur instead of real hide, so you get instinct-stimulation without compromising animal welfare.
Why a dummy with fur makes a difference
A regular canvas dummy is great for basic skills, but when you want to get closer to hunting situations, the "fur feel" can be what makes the dog take on the task more naturally.
The imitation fur:
- stimulates the dog's grip and interest
- provides a more natural retrieve feel
- can be an advantage for dogs that otherwise lose focus quickly
And no, it's not real. It's imitation fur, so you avoid animal hides and get a more responsible solution.
Buoyancy: ideal for water retrieving
The dummy is filled with plastic granules, which makes it float. This is a must if you are training by a lake, river, or coastal areas, or just want to do water work for mental and physical activation.
Practical bonus: When the dummy floats, it also becomes easier for the dog to locate and pick up, especially in reeds and small waves.
Throwing line: longer throws, better variation
The throwing line is attached and designed to give you extra length and control. You can:
- throw longer without using unnecessarily much force
- do more varied exercises (distance, directions, distractions)
- keep training effective, even when you train alone
It's old school functionality, and it still works.
Robust canvas: built for use, not decoration
The canvas part is made for outdoor training in all that we Danes realistically train in: moisture, rain, mud and uneven terrain. This is not a "pretty dummy". This is a dummy that is meant to last.
Weight 500g: who is it suitable for
500g is a sweet spot for many dogs, but let's be honest:
Perfect for:
- medium and large dogs
- retrievers and hunting dogs
- dogs that train regularly and can carry weight steadily
Less ideal for:
- small breeds
- puppies or young dogs in development
- dogs with neck/back challenges
If you have a small dog, choose a lighter dummy instead, so you don't end up with poor technique or overload.
How to get the most out of it in training
If you want output, stick to a training structure that has always worked:
1) Start simple
Short throws, calm retrieve, reward "hold" and "give" correctly.
2) Build in distractions
Change surface, wind direction, distance, and partially hide the dummy.
3) Use water as a difficulty level
Start in shallow water close to the edge, and gradually go deeper and further out.
4) Stop while the dog is at its peak
Rather 6 good repetitions than 20 mediocre ones. Your dog learns faster, and you get a happier training partner.
Maintenance: how to make it last longer
- rinse after use in mud/saltwater
- let it air dry (not on direct heat)
- store dry and cool
- regularly check the fur part and seams
These are small habits that mean you don't have to buy new all the time. And it's better for both the budget and sustainability.
