Great training tool, but not a dog toy.
My dogs and I are very fortunate to have a cottage on a lake. We love being in and around water all summer. Who doesn't? Ducks and geese also love being around water. Ducks and geese also love to poop. For some reason my dogs love duck and geese poop. They hoover it up. YUK! I thought this was a mildly disgusting but also fairly harmless pastime for my canine companions until they both caught intestinal parasites. Intestinal parasites lead to explosive diarrhea. Goodbye harmless pastime.<br /><br />I am not a duck hunter, but I would like my dogs to chase ducks and geese! This takes some training as they (a German Shepherd Dog and Border Terrier) love to chase four legged creatures but are often less than interested in 2 legged creatures with wings.<br /><br />The HuntEmUp Ultimate Duck Dog Training Dummy is a great tool for training. My dogs love to chase and retrieve anything thrown into the water on a hot day, or any day for that matter. This imitation duck is realistic in size and feel as advertised, but it definitely requires supervision. If left to her own devices, my GSD would destroy it fairly quickly and I'm sure my terrier would love to do the same thing. This is not a chew toy. Also, the rope, advertised as "premium" is great for throwing but would not last long in the mouth of any dog worth his or her chewing salt.<br /><br />If your goals are training, water exercise, retrieval and hunting water foul, I think this is a great tool.<br /><br />It's definitely not for unsupervised play.
