The DT Systems Soft Mouth Trainer + Grip Tech Dummy is a game-changing training aid for hunting dogs. Expertly designed to promote proper mouth alignment via a recessed GRIP-Tech area, this product discourages unwanted head or tail retrieving habits. The central grip zone is a unique feature that supports a closed-mouth carrying position, improving your dog's breathing efficiency during water retrieves. This training bumper also targets hard-mouth retrieving behavior and enhances secure gripping with S-Grip technology. Its waterproof construction, combined with a soft polymer feel and durable molding, ensures longevity and repeated use. The included knotted throw rope extends training retrieves to longer distances, making each session more challenging and effective.
