Product Description
Seynaeve (located in Belgium) is one of the top manufacturer in the world of protection dog equipment. Their level 5 Synthetic Soft Sleeve is used in bite development of dogs that will eventually be trained with body bite suites. This sleeve was designed to represent an arm of a Body Bite Suit..
The foundation of bite training is done in small incremental steps. It begins with our young dogs playing tug with a normal soft rag. When they show us they like the work we gradually increase the equipment we play tug with. We will graduate to leather rags, soft tugs, hard tugs, different types and styles of bite wedges, various soft puppy sleeves that lead to this level 5 sleeve and finally onto a bite suite.
Here is something new trainers need to wrap their mind around. “We train the dog we have in front of us. We don’t skip training steps, even though that dog in front of us flies through a training step, or even several training steps. We do this because many dogs hit a wall at some point during foundation training – we have to have the ability to back the training up to a point the dog feels comfortable and then work there for a while befor movong forward again.”

Write a ReviewDefinitely a true “ level 5” sleeve. Nice tight weave. Good size and reinforced target area. Great arm coverage and even when used to present biceps without a gauntlet, it’s bearable. Pull tab is strong webbing and sewn in right.
End of the day, if you get lost in an avalanche, you could turn this inside out and use it as an indicator with its hunter safety orange lining.
Seriously though. My strongest biter loves it. He’s a larger Mal at around 75-80 lbs and he punches in hard and fast. He seems to like the feel and the fact that he can still feel an Arm.
I’m impressed.
Thing about Leerburg, whether it’s sourcing material and hardware for their own equipment to sourcing gear and equipment from others, they always have a superior idea of what quality is. I e not found any that compare. Especially with the consistency. I’m almost never disappointed. I’m glad that Leerburg sources these sleeves because navigating and ordering from Seymaeve themselves isn’t convenient.
You won’t be disappointed with this soft sleeve.
