What is dummy training?
Dummy training is a form of dog training in which the four-legged friend learns to find and return a dummy, i.e. an artificial game. This dog sport originally comes from hunting training and is now a popular pastime for dogs and their owners. Dummy training is not just about finding and retrieving the dummy, but also about communication and interaction between humans and dogs. It promotes the mental and physical exercise of the dog and strengthens the bond between dog and owner. Whether beginner or advanced, dummy training offers an exciting challenge for every four-legged friend and owner.
How does food dummy training work?
Retrieving training with a food dummy for dogs, such as the one from Rudelkönig, is based on a simple but effective method. It uses the dog's natural inclination to retrieve and love of treats to create valuable learning moments.
Here are some steps on how you can make food dummy training effective in clear steps:
- Introducing the dummy food: Start by introducing the dummy food to your pet as an interesting object. Let him sniff it and show him that there are treats hidden inside. This will arouse his interest and curiosity.
- First retrieving exercises: Throw the food dummy for dogs a short distance away and encourage your pet to fetch it. As soon as he has it in his mouth, call him back to you. When he returns, reward him with a treat from the dummy. This reinforces the desired behavior.
- Increase the challenge: Gradually increase the distance and difficulty of the retrieving exercises. Hide the food dummy in your garden or home and let your dog search and retrieve the food bag. This encourages his searching and hunting instincts.
- Combination with commands: Integrate commands such as "sit", "down" or "stay" before you throw the food dummy. This helps your dog to develop self-control and pay attention to your instructions.
- Variation in training: Change the type of reward in the food dummy. Dogs love different types of treats and interest remains high.
- Regularity and patience: As with all training, regularity and patience are the keys to success. Practice regularly in short but effective sessions to give your pet the best of food dummy training.
These simple steps make training with the food dummy for four-legged friends not only an effective method for retrieval training, but also an entertaining and bond-building activity for you and your dog.

There are various methods and techniques that can be used in dummy training. These include throwing the dummy, hiding the dummy and searching for the dummy.
