It sounds like you are using a TRAINING dummy (bumper) as a chew toy -- am I correct ?
This is a BIG NO-NO ! !
Doing normal retrieves with the bumper you describe should never be chewed on -- during training or after (as a toy).
There are training aids (bumpers) and there are chew toys -- and never the twain shall meet.
The best chew toy (NOT used for training) is probably the KONG.
