Re: New Dummies [quote author=Karen link=topic=2092.msg18363#msg18363 date=1374591096] They are available via Amazon in the US -DTSystems, Soft Mouth Trainer, 2x2x10.8 inches, sound about right Heidrun? [/quote] Karen, I have got one of those. It is a very similar principle to the Hex bumpers. The only downside with the Soft Mouth Trainers is that mine didn't come with a rope or toggle attached for throwing. I hope the company has changed that by now.
Re: New Dummies [/quote] If he didn't already have a tail you could stick one on him and call him a fox?...... ;D [/quote] There is hard evidence from "who is training who vid" - it was Murffi, not super clever clogs Caddie (lovely though she is), who tried something different...

[/quote] Thanks Heidrun - if no rope or toggle, we can deal with that. Will let you know how we get on in a few weeks.
Re: New Dummies [quote author=heidrun link=topic=2092.msg18330#msg18330 date=1374584151] Rachael, these dummies are especially designed for the dogs to carry them without mouthing them or rolling them or biting down on them like you will sometimes see with canvas dummies and especially with tennis balls. One company even calls them Soft Mouth Trainers. I like the way I can throw them, much further than a normal dummy, the fact that they can also be used in water, they won't sink and I also like the colours. The black and white ones are very visible to the dogs when they spin through the air and make marking a bit easier I think. And the orange one is easy to spot for me which helps with a dog like Murffi who blends into the undergrowth. It helps me to see if he has actually picked the dummy or needs direction. [/quote] Thanks, Heidrun!
