{"title":"Puppy Bite Sleeves \u0026 Young Dog Sleeves","description":"\u003cp\u003ePuppy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen can a puppy start on a bite sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost puppies start on tugs and soft bite pillows first, then move to a puppy sleeve once they grip confidently.
