Under the FCI-IGP 2025 rules the helper wears protection trousers, a protection jacket, a sleeve, a cup and, if needed, gloves, with weatherproof shoes that grip. The sleeve is carried close and in front of the body and held steady, and the helper uses a padded (soft) stick, swung above the sleeve without hitting the dog.

Trainers often start with the dog close to the blind and the helper in plain view, then build distance and the search pattern over time. A stable, full-height blind gives the dog a clear picture of where the helper will be. Clubs usually set several blinds around the field, so the dog learns to check each one in turn. Because this blind splits in two, it is easier to move between field layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder by 2pm Mon–Fri for same-day dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sporthund","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56091702329675,"sku":"7355011","price":259.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/8734\/9323\/files\/Sporthund_Protection_Blind_for_Schutzhund_IGP_IPO_Dog_Sport_Blue.webp?v=1767868970"},{"product_id":"hans-verbruggen-dog-training-bicep-sleeve-protection-training","title":"Hans Verbruggen Dog Training Bicep Sleeve Protection Training","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hans Verbruggen bicep sleeve is a hand-sewn bite sleeve for protection training and bite work with young and adult dogs, in four soft-to-hard combinations of nylon and jute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing the sleeve and cover separately lets you match the feel to your dog: start soft with nylon on nylon, then move to jute on jute as the grip gets harder and fuller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-sewn construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft: nylon sleeve with nylon cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: nylon sleeve with jute cover, or jute sleeve with nylon cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard: jute sleeve with jute cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssorted colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Belgian dog training professional Hans Verbruggen, who has over 15 years of experience in the NePoPo® training method, it's made for protection training and ring sports such as Mondioring, PSA and Belgian Ring.
