Puppy Bite Sleeves & Young Dog Sleeves
Puppy bite sleeves and young dog sleeves for starting bite work and protection training. Each one has a softer bite surface than an adult sleeve, so a young dog can take a full, confident grip. The Schweikert Grippy is a softly padded jute puppy sleeve with a leather-covered handle that fits either arm, and the Schweikert Ian is a left-arm puppy sleeve with a felt-padded jute bite area. The Sporthund Balance Long and Balance Round combine a bite pillow and a young-dog bite sausage in the shape of a complete arm. When your dog is ready to move on, the Knut Fuchs transition sleeves in jute or Nylcot help develop a full, central grip.
Frequently asked questions
When can a puppy start on a bite sleeve?
Most puppies start on tugs and soft bite pillows first, then move to a puppy sleeve once they grip confidently. If you are unsure whether your dog is ready, email info@k9store.co.uk and a trainer will reply.
Jute or Nylcot?
Trainer guidance: jute is a natural fibre that feels softer in the mouth, so many handlers use it for puppies and young dogs. Nylcot is a firmer synthetic weave, often used as the dog progresses.
