KONG Shieldz Wildz Dummy is an ultra-durable training tool, triple coated and sealed to last through epic water retrieval sessions to hone hunting and dock diving skills while satisfying natural instincts with interactive play. The hi-tech coating on the lower portion boosts buoyancy for easy grabbing. These sturdy dummies are heftier than most for durability and longer-distance tosses. Sturdy 8-inch braided paracord helps launch longer tosses for more healthy exercise.
