Animation Shelf... it's on the second row in there... unless you have "icons only"... then it's just near the end of the only row of icons there is.

I can't find a tutorial over them for the life of me, however. I was trying to figure out how to use them, since I was supposed to do a "nail constraint" in a tutorial that I was attempting to do.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say dummy object, but if you want the object in the scene but not renedered in the scene.
Select the object, and turn off 'Primary Visibility' in it's attributes.
