How to use: Simply hold the 8 - inch braided paracord and throw the dummy as far as you can. Encourage your dog to retrieve it from the water or land. This is a great way to exercise your dog and improve its hunting and dock navigating skills. Attention: Make sure the area where you're using the dummy is safe, without any sharp objects that could damage it. Also, don't let your dog chew on the paracord too hard. Maintenance: After each use, rinse the dummy with clean water to remove any dirt or debris. Let it dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place. This will help keep it in good condition for a long time.
