    Hi,

    Not sure where to post, so thought try here first.

    I have ordered a few books etc. and am looking at dummies. Where I live there is nothing around in the shops, so have to turn to internet.
    I came across the dummies from the Working Dog Company, and wanted to know if anybody has any opinion on these?
    I am a novice in all of this, and there is a lot to choose from.
    Just want to make sure I get the right thing

    Appreciate any assistance.

    Cheers

    I have some of the shaped dummies from there and they're good. I would suggest getting regular shaped dummies too - the WDC ones are very highly prized by my two adults and can send them a bit giddy! They also have stitching that Willow likes to try to unpick, given the chance. If you can, a range of colours is good - blue are generally easy for the dog to see, red are hard for them to see (but easy for us). I buy my regular 1lb ones from Sporting Saint.

    Thanks yes was thinking of different colours. Out of interest which ones did you get from WDC as they have a 2 types. Slightly different in size.
    Will get some regular ones too.

    I just use the partridge ones from WDC. I think they're a good size to start out with that shape of dummy. I have an easy mark black and white one, and a red one.
