The Hex Bumper is designed to solve the problems of traditional round training bumpers while holding up to the demands of professional retriever trainers. Its six flat sides and raised V-Grips give dogs a more secure grip, making it perfect for soft-mouthed retrievers. The firmer construction also helps reduce chomping, encouraging cleaner retrieves.
Unlike round bumpers, the Hex Bumper’s valveless design never takes on water, making it ideal for both land and water training. Built with superior materials, this bumper is long-lasting, durable, and ready for daily use. A throw rope is included for easy handling during training sessions.
Innovative Hex Design: Six flat sides with V-Grips provide superior hold.
Reduces Chomping: Firmer feel encourages proper mouth habits.
Valveless Construction: Never fills with water, perfect for water retrieves.
Durable Build: Built to handle heavy use by professional trainers.
Versatile Training Tool: Works for both small and large dogs.
Throw Rope Included: For easy tossing and controlled training sessions.
2" x 10" – Great for training larger dogs, but light enough for small dogs.
3" x 10" – Heavier option for advanced retriever training.
White: Most common; visible against most backgrounds.
Orange: Ideal for blind retrieves, since dogs can’t distinguish it from the background.
Flasher: Alternating panels create a “strobe” effect for mark training.
The Hex Bumper is the perfect training dummy for hunters, trainers, and competitive retriever handlers who want a reliable, long-lasting bumper that builds better retrieving habits.
