The Sporthund competition bite sleeve is an IGP / Schutzhund protection sleeve with a shorter, softer bite surface, available for the left or right arm. K9 Store is the exclusive UK distributor of Sporthund.
A shorter, softer bite bar gives the dog a defined target for a full, calm grip, making the grip much easier even for fast dogs.
- Shorter, softer bite surface
- Left or right arm
- Weight: 1.25 kg, 25–30% lighter than Sporthund standard sleeves
- Better helper control in the pressure phase
- Developed with protection helper Sven Viebahn
- Takes its own competition sleeve cover (standard covers don't fit)
- Handmade
For helpers working dogs in IGP / Schutzhund protection training and trial preparation.
Order by 2pm Mon–Fri for same-day dispatch.
Please note: standard covers do not fit the competition sleeve. Please order the matching competition sleeve cover at the same time; it is available in two versions, for the left and right arm.
Please note
This is a handmade product, so small variations in colour and/or dimensions are possible. Technical changes reserved.
Competition rules
- In IGP protection (Phase C) the helper must wear protective clothing: protection trousers, a protection jacket, a sleeve, a cup and, where needed, gloves, plus weatherproof shoes with good grip for the ground.
- The sleeve is carried close and in front of the body and held steady, so the dog gets the best chance of a good grip.
- The helper also works with a padded (soft) stick, which is used in a threatening motion above the sleeve without hitting the dog.
