Rabbit Dummy Ball

The Precision Training Tool for Drive Development and Scent Work

The Sporting Saint Dummy Ball is a compact, aerodynamic training aid engineered to bridge the gap between play and professional retrieval. Handcrafted in the UK, its weighted, spherical design makes it exceptionally easy to throw, providing a high-visibility target for young dogs just beginning their training journey, or serving as a high-value motivator for dogs needing an extra spark of interest in their work.

For the more advanced gundog, the Dummy Ball is an essential tool for honing “marking” and “hunting out” skills. Its unique shape allows it to “bury” deep into heavy cover, long grass, or hedgerows, forcing the dog to transition from visual marking to intensive scent-work to successfully locate the find.

Why the Ball Design Works

Unlike traditional long dummies, the Dummy Ball’s concentrated weight and shape allow for greater distance and accuracy during the throw. This mimics the unpredictable fall of small game and encourages a fast, clean pick-up. By removing the “handles” of a standard dummy, it promotes a centralised grip and discourages “mouthing,” ensuring your dog develops a firm yet soft carry from the outset.

• Small & Easy to Throw
• Great aid for training and starting young dogs off, or getting a dog interested in picking up dummies!
• Also helps in the training of more advanced dogs as when the dummy ball is thrown in long grass, hedgerows etc, it really buries itself making the dogs hunt for it.
