Carhartt Pet Training Tool, Dog Retrieving Bumper, Rugged Nylon Duck Canvas Training Bumper Designed for Retrieval Training, Hunter Orange, Small

Your dog lives to retrieve, so what better way to build that instinct into a reliable skill than with the Carhartt Training Retrieving Bumper. Unlike a ball or a stick, this bumper is shaped and weighted to simulate the dimensions and weight of an actual bird. Training your retriever to carry correctly, hold firmly without crushing, and deliver to hand the way a working gundog needs to perform in the field. The 1680-denier polyester exterior is bonded and reinforced for outstanding durability through session after session of hard use, and double stitching with strong nylon thread at every stress point means the bumper holds together through the kind of enthusiastic retrieving that working dogs put into every single throw. The sand-weighted base gives every throw momentum, distance, and a consistent arc so you can place the bumper exactly where you need your dog to go, while the two-ply nylon webbing handle provides a comfortable, secure grip for overhand, underhand, and long-cast throws across a field or into the water. Hunter Orange is the standard high-visibility training color that lets you track where the bumper lands in tall grass, heavy cover, and low-light field conditions so you can direct your dog without losing the throw. The rubber Carhartt label adds a branded grip point for the dog and helps build consistent carry recognition. This bumper is designed as a supervised retrieval training tool. Use it for throw-and-fetch training sessions rather than unsupervised chewing. Available in small (14.5" length, 5 oz) and large (18" length, 9 oz). Carhartt has been building workwear-grade gear since 1889. This bumper is built to the same standard for dogs that earn their rest by doing exactly what they were bred to do.

• YOUR DOG LIVES TO RETRIEVE TRAIN THEM RIGHT | A tennis ball trains a dog to chase and drop. This retrieving bumper is shaped and weighted to encourage a proper hold on an actual bird. Training your retriever to carry correctly, hold firmly, and deliver to hand the way a working gundog needs to. Built for Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Spaniels, Pointers, and any breed with retrieving in its blood.
• 1680-DENIER BONDED POLYESTER BUILT FOR COUNTLESS THROWS | The exterior is 1680-denier polyester fabric bonded and reinforced for outstanding durability through session after session of hard use. Double stitching with strong nylon thread at every stress point means the bumper holds together through the enthusiastic retrieving that working dogs put into every single throw. Built to outlast the training schedule, not just the first few outings.
• SAND-WEIGHTED BASE AND TWO-PLY WEBBING HANDLE | Throw farther and more accurately. The sand-weighted base gives every throw momentum, distance, and a consistent arc so you can place the bumper where the dog needs to go to build confidence and skill. The two-ply nylon webbing handle gives a secure, comfortable grip whether you are throwing overhand, underhand, or spinning for a long cast across a field or into the water.
• EASY TO TRACK IN COVER AND LOW LIGHT | Hunter Orange is the standard high-visibility field color for retrieval training because it allows the handler to track where the bumper lands in tall grass, heavy cover, and low-light conditions. A bumper you can see is a bumper you can direct your dog toward. The rubber Carhartt label adds a branded grip point and helps the dog learn the bumper's profile for a clean, consistent carry.
• BUILT FOR RETRIEVING USE WITH SUPERVISION AS A TRAINING TOOL | This bumper is a retrieval training tool designed for throw-and-fetch sessions under your direction, not an unsupervised chew toy. Use it at the training field, the park, or the water as a behavioral aid and a confidence-building tool for dogs at any stage of their retrieval education. A practical gift for bird hunters, retriever owners, and anyone training a dog with a natural instinct to fetch. Father's Day, birthdays, the holidays.
