BGT Long‑Throw Dummy Range (250g / Half‑Pound)

White Dummy — For Puppies & Young Dogs

White is the most visible colour in almost all environments. That’s exactly why it’s the starting point.

• High visibility builds confidence
• Helps shape clean, straight lines
• Reduces hunting, reduces confusion
• Perfect for early marking work and first retrieves

White lets young dogs win — and early wins build the foundation for everything that follows.

Green Dummy — For Dogs Transitioning to Realistic Work

Green blends into grass, woodland edges and typical shoot‑day terrain.

• Encourages dogs to use nose rather than sight
• Ideal for memory retrieves
• Builds persistence and problem‑solving
• Bridges the gap between visible marks and true hunting

Green is your “now we’re getting serious” stage.

Orange Dummy — For Handler‑Focused Training

Dogs struggle to see orange — humans don’t. That makes orange a powerful training tool.

• Great for teaching handling cues
• Perfect for blind retrieves
• Allows you to place dummies precisely without the dog visually locking on
• Builds trust in the handler’s direction

Orange is where control, communication and whistle work sharpen up.

Red Dummy — For Experienced, Field‑Ready Dogs

Red is harder for dogs to see at distance and blends into autumn cover.

• Forces reliance on nose and memory
• Excellent for advanced hunting patterns
• Ideal for shoot‑day preparation
• Adds difficulty without overwhelming the dog

Red is the colour of dogs who already know the job — and are now being polished for the field.

Why Colour Progression Matters

Your dummy colours aren’t just aesthetic. They’re a structured training ladder:

• White → confidence, clarity, early success
• Green → realism, nose‑work, memory
• Orange → handling, trust, blind retrieves
• Red → advanced hunting, shoot‑day readiness

Each colour nudges the dog into the next skill set without skipping steps — exactly how you build reliable, steady, field‑ready gundogs.
