Abstract:

A dog training device and method for training a dog to retrieve a downed fowl. The training device includes a head and a body. The head is moveably connected to the body such that the head moves similar to the way the head of an injured fowl moves. Depending on the configuration, this connection can allow the head to move up and down relative to the body, or it can allow the head to move in all directions. The training device also includes a rope or other device such that a trainer can throw the device into the air for the dog to track and retrieve.
