Train Your Gundog Using All Three Hunting Senses – Sight, Scent & Touch

The Original Clone® Dead Bird Dummy by Dog & Field has been expertly designed to simulate real-life retrieves by targeting your gundog’s three primary hunting senses: Sight, Scent, and Touch. This innovative training dummy bridges the gap between traditional canvas training and real game, giving your dog a more authentic experience that prepares them for the demands of fieldwork.

By introducing your dog to the weight, shape, scent, and feel of actual game birds, you’re building skills and confidence that translate directly to performance on shoot days. The better your dog handles realistic retrieves, the more successful and ethical your day in the field becomes – increasing recovered game and reducing waste.

Sight – Life-Like Shape for Realistic Marking

The Dead Bird Dummy replicates the full body shape and size of shot game, complete with a head, wings, and tail. Whether dropped from height for a visual mark or retrieved from cover, it looks like the real thing, helping dogs accurately track and mark the fall of birds.

Scent – Built to Hold and Transfer Realistic Smells

Scent is your dog’s primary tool for locating game. We’ve used specialist scent-retaining fabrics that absorb and carry familiar field smells. Store your dummy in a game bag or training vest, or place it where live birds have been to build strong scent association and recognition.

Touch – Helps Dogs Transition from Dummy to Feather

Many dogs struggle with retrieving feathered game due to unfamiliar texture and anatomy. The Dead Bird Dummy gives your dog a chance to practice handling heads, wings, and tails in a low-pressure training environment. During product testing, dogs quickly learned correct mouth placement and developed confidence in handling complex retrieves – including the floppy and awkward features of real birds.
