Firedog Lite dummy with short handle small baby blue

The Firedog Lite Dummy is designed for versatility and ease, making it an excellent choice for both winter and year-round training. Featuring a special lightweight filling, this dummy excels in snow, staying on top rather than sinking, while its bright orange handle ensures high visibility even in wintry conditions.

The unique lightweight design offers several advantages:

1. Winter training: Ideal for snowy environments, the dummy's light weight prevents it from sinking deep into snow, making it easier for your dog to locate and retrieve. The orange rope or strap makes it highly visible against white landscapes.

2. Puppy and young dog training: Perfect for introducing puppies to standard training dummies. Its light weight allows young dogs to build their retrieving confidence early without being overwhelmed by heavier dummies. The FIREDOG Lite Dummy, designed in standard form, helps puppies learn to grip the dummy in the middle from the beginning, encouraging proper retrieving habits. This design also reduces the chance of pups playing with the dummy, ensuring more focused training sessions.

3. Convenience for handlers: Designed for those who want to carry more dummies without the bulk, these lightweight dummies make transportation a breeze. Whether you're using a dummy vest or a bag, you'll appreciate the reduced load - especially female handlers or children on longer training sessions.

4. Water training: Thanks to its buoyancy, this dummy floats higher in the water, making it easier for dogs to see and retrieve during water-based training exercises.
