The Schweikert Vario IPO / IGP Dumbbell is a beechwood IGP dumbbell with an interchangeable beechwood bar, in 650 g, 1,000 g and 2,000 g, for IGP / Schutzhund obedience.
Swapping the bar lets you change the feel and diameter in the dog's mouth, so you can find what suits your dog and proof the hold on different bars.
