Barrows Training Bumper - Pink

A single pink training bumper. Barrows uses pink for the middle ground: easy for the handler to spot at dawn and dusk and against green cover, less bright to the dog than white, and it holds contrast on snow and sand where a white bumper disappears.

The Barrows bumper is a vinyl dumbbell shape rather than a straight canvas roll. The narrow barrel encourages a dog to carry it across the middle, the round center keeps water out of the mouth on swims and stops it rolling on the bank, and the weighted ends give it a balance Barrows compares to a bird. It measures 11.1 inches long by 2.5 inches wide, weighs 10.5 ounces, floats, and carries a 9.5 inch throw rope. Barrows notes the valveless construction and asks that it be treated as a training tool and not a chew toy.

Pair training sessions with a pouch of our single ingredient freeze dried treats so the reward is ready the moment the repetition is right. More of the range sits in Barrows check cords and bumpers, and this piece is worth reading first: keeping a hunting dog in shape through the off season.
