The softness simulates the feel of actual game. Unlike wood or hard plastic dummies, which a dog will "mouth" or chew - a bad habit that transfers directly to game birds - these soft dummies condition bird dogs to retrieve game with a "soft mouth." "Bumps" make gripping easier. Dogs are color-blind, seeing only in shades of black and white. For this reason, dummies come in three colors:- WHITE dummies are the most visible, and are used for training young dogs to use their eyes over land or water.
- ORANGE dummies teach dogs to use their nose after reaching the area of a fall. The dummies work well on blind retrieves because they are easy for the handler to see but are virtually invisible to the dog.
- BLACK dummies are used in areas where the background is very light, such as in parts of the Midwest, where there are few forests or large hills and only the bright sky to contrast against a thrown dummy.
The plastic knobby dummies come in two sizes, 2" x 12" at 9 ounces or 3" x 12" at 15 ounces. Both sizes are made with a valve that allows the user to adjust the weight or firmness by adding air or water. Lucky Dog plastic bird dog training dummies are the most durable and versatile on the market,
