The Dog & Field Maxxi Dummy Bag is built for handlers who carry a full training setup rather than one or two retrieves. Its structured 50 × 35 × 10cm canvas body holds up to twenty 1lb dummies, with eight external dummy pockets and room for twelve more internally. A flat zipped top, organised internal storage and padded adjustable strap make it a practical high-capacity choice for busy training days, group sessions and field work.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend the Maxxi for handlers who have outgrown a conventional shoulder bag. Its stated twenty-dummy capacity is genuinely useful, but the real strength is how that space is organised: eight external pockets for immediate access, further internal storage, a divider and a secure zipped compartment for personal items. The flat zipped top is also more practical than a large loose flap when working quickly. At £24.99, it delivers a 40% gross margin from the supplied £14.99 trade cost while remaining well below the £34.99 RRP.
Key Benefits
Carries up to twenty 1lb training dummies
Eight external pockets keep frequently used dummies immediately accessible
Large internal compartment accommodates another twelve dummies
Flat zipped top secures the contents without an inconvenient flap
Internal divider and pockets help separate training kit and personal items
Adjustable padded shoulder strap improves comfort under heavier loads
“Twenty dummies sounds excessive only to dogs who lack ambition. I approve of the outside pockets because they keep the next retrieve close to hand, and the zipped compartment should stop humans losing their keys while concentrating on more important matters — namely, me.” — Bailey 🐾
Perfect For
Handlers carrying a large selection of training dummies
Professional trainers and group training sessions
Long days in the field where organised storage matters
Carrying dummies, game and essential personal items

Place frequently used dummies in the eight external pockets for quick access.
Use the internal compartment for additional dummies, game or bulkier training equipment.
Keep keys, phone and other small valuables in the zipped internal pocket.
Balance the load across the bag rather than placing all heavy items at one end.

Care Guide
Remove loose mud, grass and debris after every outing.
Wipe the canvas with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
Do not store wet dummies or game inside the bag.
Clean the interior promptly after carrying game.
Check the strap, stitching, pockets and zip regularly for wear.
Store completely dry and away from direct heat.
Professional Insight
A large dummy bag earns its keep through organisation, not just capacity. Use the external pockets for the dummies required in the next exercise and keep reserves inside. This avoids repeatedly opening the main compartment and helps a training session flow cleanly. When fully loaded, distribute the weight evenly and adjust the padded strap so the bag remains close to the body rather than swinging as you walk.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Load the outside pockets in the same order as your training plan. If the next exercise uses a rabbit dummy, a marked canvas dummy and then a blind retrieve, arrange them in that sequence before leaving the vehicle. Good bag organisation removes pauses, keeps the dog focused and stops a training session becoming a search for equipment.
ProTrain Principle
Organised equipment keeps training clear, efficient and focused on the dog.
