Avery HexaBumper 7.62 cm (3 inches) - The professional fetch dummy with maximum grip and durability

The Avery HexaBumper 7.62 cm (3 inches) is designed for serious retrieve training and is used by professional dog trainers worldwide. Its unique hexagonal design, V-Grip technology and floating construction make this dummy ideal for any form of training-from marking work and blind retrieves to conducting in both land and water conditions.

Traditional round dummies can be difficult to grab, especially when they get wet or slimy. The HexaBumper eliminates these problems due to its hexagonal structure, providing optimal grip and less chewing. The result? Better retrieval technique, more control and longer life.

With three color options, an included throw line and extremely rugged material, the Avery HexaBumper is the choice for professional and recreational trainers.

Unique features and benefits

1. Hexagonal (Hexa) design for superior grip

The six flat sides give the dog a much more stable grip than round dummies.
Advantages: less slipping, proper bite development, and greater confidence on land and in water.

2. V-Grip technology for a soft but firm bite

The special V-shaped grip structure:

• promotes a soft mouth

• prevents chewing

• provides consistent grip even when wet

Advantage: ideal for teaching correct retrieving behavior.

3. Leakproof valveless design

Thanks to the valve-less system the dummy remains:

• solid

• floating

• leakproof

• durable

Advantage: significantly longer service life than valve dummies.

4. Colors for every training situation

• White: highly visible → ideal for conducting

• Orange: poor visibility for the dog → perfect for blind retrievers and memory's

• Black/White flasher: high contrast → perfect for marker training

5. Floating lanyard included

The dummy comes with a 10-inch throw cord for accurate and distant casts both on land and in water.
