Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer, Gambel's Quail
The Dokken Gambel's Quail retrieving dummy is an excellent training tool that mimics the size and feel of the species, making it ideal for young dogs and retrieving breeds with small mouths. It's designed to be hard on both ends with a soft, durable body that can be easily injected with liquid scent or scent wax for a more authentic training session.
The unique feature of this product is its hard, free-swinging head that delivers a sharp wrap to the snout of the dog if it shakes its head aggressively. This is an innovative method developed by Tom Dokken to teach dogs how to properly hold and carry game birds.
Dokken's DeadFowl Trainers are founded on this patented design, which has been proven to effectively discipline unwanted aggressive behavior and enhance the dog's hunting skills. Train rigorously with the Dokken Dead Fowl Trainer, Gambel's Quail and leave nothing to chance in preparing your dog for real hunting scenarios!
Its design supports consistent conditioning during field sessions by providing realistic mass and handling cues that mirror a live bird without exposure to field hazards. The free-swinging head delivers immediate feedback when a dog grips or shakes, helping handlers train a controlled carry and reduce head-shake behavior. Scent-augmented drills are straightforward: liquid scent or scent wax can be applied to simulate scent trails and odor cues in upland environments. The Gambel's Quail form targets breeds with smaller mouths and younger dogs, smoothing early-handling progress and minimizing tolerance issues during retrieves. Regular practice under varied terrain mirrors field trials and hunting conditions, reinforcing grip, balance, and respect for the game bird. After training, wipe the body and store it dry to preserve the soft, durable surface for future sessions. For field training, this tool supports practical, repeatable retrieves across upland and waterfowl work.
