Heavy Weight Retrieve Training Dummy for Balance & Strength

The Sporting Saint Goose & Hare Dummy is a specialised training tool handcrafted in the UK and designed to teach dogs how to lift and balance larger, heavy weights correctly. Unlike standard canvas dummies, this model is weighted at both ends with a softer central section, encouraging dogs to engage their shoulders and jaw properly when lifting and carrying bulkier loads.

Due to its heavier design, this dummy is not for everyday marking work but serves a valuable role in conditioning strength, balance and handling mechanics — particularly for dogs progressing through foundation training towards more realistic game retrieves.

Key Features

• Weighted at both ends with a soft fill middle section to promote balanced lifting and carry
• Approx. 6 lb (2.7 kg) load to challenge strength and stamina
• Durable canvas construction built for repeated training use
• Designed to help develop correct body mechanics under load
• Handcrafted in the UK with consistent build quality

Why This Style of Dummy Matters

Heavy dual-weighted dummies like this teach dogs to pick up large, unwieldy items with proper balance — a skill that translates to real world game retrieval such as hare or goose. By engaging the dog’s muscles and encouraging correct mouth and body posture, this tool supports the development of strength, steadiness and confidence when handling heavier retrieves.
