Kit for the protection phase of IGP and for helper work: bite sleeves, sleeve covers, sticks, scratch pants and blinds. 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. The rules give no dimensions for the sleeve, sleeve cover or stick, so check fit with the maker: Sporthund says standard covers don't fit its competition sleeve, which takes its own competition cover.
In-stock items are listed first. See how to choose a bite sleeve and the IGP equipment checklist.
