Canvas Training Bumpers – Essential Retriever Training Dummies

The Canvas Bumper is a classic, go-to tool for retriever training—perfect for everything from a puppy’s first game of fetch to advanced blind retrieves, long marks, and casting drills in the field or pond. Built with stout 10 oz. canvas over a closed-cell foam body and center-weighted core, these bumpers are durable, well-balanced, and float in water for versatile training on land and water.

Available Sizes

• Puppy (2" x 9") – Lightweight and easy to carry, ideal for young pups learning to fetch. Supervise use to prevent chewing.

• Intermediate (2 ½" x 10") – Great for transitioning young dogs to field training, simulates the size of grouse or chukar.

• Regular (3" x 12") – The standard training bumper, ideal for preparing dogs for NAVHDA Natural Ability Testretrieves, or duck and pheasant hunting.

• Goose (4" x 15") – The largest size, designed for advanced training and practicing goose retrieves.

Color Options

• White: Easy for dogs to see, perfect for beginners.
