Standard wooden retrieve dumbbell for dogs that have mastered the basic grip and are ready for full load. Hardwood resists strong pressure, and the shape of the bar guides the dog to a calm and correct hold without mouthing – essential for fetch training and IGP trial preparation.

Tip from Ritega
If you are just starting out with fetch training or have a puppy or small breed, this weight might be too much at first – try a lighter 125–150 g variant instead and switch to 650 g once your dog holds the dumbbell reliably and calmly. For beginners, we also recommend plastic dumbbells for better grip and hold training.
Recommended combinations
- Clicker – for precise timing and marking of the correct grip during training
- Lighter plastic dumbbell 125–150 g – for puppy training before transitioning to this weight
Not suitable as a freely accessible chew toy without supervision – uncontrolled chewing may damage the dog's teeth as well as the dumbbell itself.
Maintenance: Wipe with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely. Do not leave outside in rain or wet grass for extended periods, and regularly inspect the wood for splinters or cracks.
