Bite Sleeves

A person in protective gear trains a German Shepherd dog on a grassy field.

The SoftShell Sleeve SystemTM progressively develops the dog’s athletic ability and maximum bite force.

Development of a dog’s maximum bite force can be accomplished with the SoftShell Sleeve SystemTM – sleeves that work seamlessly together. As the dog advances, the trainer can use the next level sleeve while maintaining the same feel, movement and visualization, time after time.

Developed Here First

This revolutionary, patented SoftShell Sleeve SystemTM allows the trainer to use different sleeves, just as an athlete uses heavy and light weights depending on the objectives for a particular training session. The SoftShell SleevesTM will promote a comfortable, powerful full-mouth grip by encouraging the dog’s natural athletic responses.

All our sleeves are similar in appearance, so dogs cannot anticipate the feel (soft or hard) of the different sleeves before the actual bite.

Our state-of-the-art technology produces sleeves with outstanding quality, consistency and repeatability.

  • Extremely light weight
  • Ergonomic design
  • Durable construction
  • Highest quality materials

Our Cuffs are engineered for a precision fit on all our sleeves.

Our custom-made fabric is a special blend of natural and synthetic materials selected to maximize strength and durability, and to minimize wear on the dog’s teeth.

Help protect your dog’s teeth with proper maintenance and timely replacement of sleeve cuffs.

The Shortie™

The Shortie™ sleeves come in varying levels of “hardness,” each one requiring incrementally more pressure from the dog to compress the sleeve. We can help select the sleeve that is best for you!
