{"title":"Bite Sleeves for Dog Training","description":"\u003cp\u003eBite sleeves for protection and IGP training, from soft puppy sleeves to lighter competition sleeves, made by Sporthund, Schweikert and Hans Verbruggen. Puppy and young dog sleeves, such as the Schweikert Grippy jute puppy sleeve and the Sporthund Balance sleeves, have a softer bite surface for a confident first grip; see all of them in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/puppy-bite-sleeves\"\u003epuppy bite sleeves\u003c\/a\u003e. Transition sleeves, including the Knut Fuchs designs in jute or Nylcot, help develop a full, central grip as your dog moves on. For trained dogs there are full arm sleeves such as the Schweikert Jörg and the Sporthund Competition sleeve, half sleeves, and a hidden civil sleeve worn under clothing. Jute sleeve covers extend the life of your sleeve. The range serves sport and working dog handlers, and the brands we carry are used by military, police and prison dog units around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich bite sleeve is right for a puppy or young dog?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with a young-dog sleeve, which has a softer bite surface. Schweikert's Grippy is softly padded jute with a leather-covered handle, and it fits either arm. The Sporthund Balance Long combines a bite pillow with a young-dog sleeve: it has a soft, springy bite surface and an extended bite wedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/schweikert-grippy-jute-puppy-sleeve\"\u003eSchweikert Grippy puppy sleeve\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sporthund-young-dog-protection-bite-sleeve-balance-long\"\u003eSporthund Balance Long sleeve\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/schweikert-ian-puppy-protection-sleeve-with-jute-left-arm\"\u003eSchweikert Ian puppy sleeve\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a left-arm or right-arm sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on the sleeve. Competition sleeves such as the Schweikert Jörg and the Sporthund Competition are made in separate left and right versions, so choose the arm the helper presents. Some training sleeves, such as the Schweikert Grippy and Jari, can be worn on either arm.

Schweikert's Jörg, developed with helper Jörg Schwabe, weighs about 1,300 g. The Sporthund Competition, developed with Sven Viebahn, weighs 1.25 kg, which Sporthund says is 25 to 30% lighter than its standard sleeves. It also has a shorter, softer bite surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sporthund-protection-competition-bite-sleeve\"\u003eSporthund Competition sleeve\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/schweikert-jorg-protection-training-arm-sleeve\"\u003eSchweikert Jörg sleeve\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill any sleeve cover fit my sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Sporthund says standard covers do not fit its Competition sleeve, which needs the matching Competition cover.
