Sporting Saint BG True Centre Hold Dummy – ½ lb

Trainer-Led Gundog Training Equipment by Ben Randall

The Sporting Saint BG True Centre Hold Dummy – ½ lb is specialist Gundog Training Equipment developed with Ben Randall to promote a correct, balanced central hold during retrieves. Handcrafted in the UK, this dummy is designed to guide mouth placement so dogs naturally carry with better balance, cleaner presentation and more consistent delivery to hand.

This is not a standard canvas dummy. The True Centre Hold design focuses on correcting common retrieve issues such as end-gripping, twisting in the mouth and uneven carries. It is built for handlers who want measurable improvement in mechanics, whether that is polishing a progressing dog or addressing a persistent hold fault.

Why the True Centre Hold Design Matters

In gundog work, small handling faults can become big performance problems. Dogs that grip too close to the ends can develop unstable carries, rolling dummies and messy delivery to hand. This Ben Randall developed design supports cleaner technique by encouraging a natural centre grip, reinforcing correct muscle memory with repetition.

Used as part of a structured Gundog Training Equipment setup, it helps to:

• Improve carry balance and delivery presentation
• Reduce rolling and repositioning in the mouth
• Build more consistent pick-up habits under pressure
• Support steadier, more polished retrieve mechanics
