It works exactly like a standard training sleeve — but without the bulky silhouette that tells a dog from across the field exactly where the target is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo sleeves in one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost decoys have to choose between a classic training sleeve and a hidden sleeve. This one bridges the gap. The thin, compressed filling keeps the profile low and clean against the arm, so the picture the dog sees sits much closer to hidden-sleeve work — while you can still run ordinary sleeve sessions with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrench linen outer shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer fabric is French linen, the material dog sport decoys know for a texture that invites a full, committed grip. It gives the sleeve a stable, dependable bite surface and pairs with the dense filling for a tighter fit to the arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThin, dense filling — low profile, realistic picture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe padding is packed hard and built in a thin layer. Nothing puffs out, so there is no obvious bulge broadcasting the target. The dog learns to work against a person rather than a familiar sleeve shape — the exact transition you need before moving into realistic scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you buy — an honest note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a classic hidden sleeve worn tight under a jacket, and it does not sit against the arm the same way. It remains a bite sleeve in every sense. What the low-profile filling gives you is a look and a feel much closer to concealed work — the right middle ground if you want flexibility without carrying two separate pieces of equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFits either arm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same sleeve works on the left or right arm. No second model needed, it can be passed between decoys on the same field, and you can switch sides in training so the dog does not lock onto a single entry angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter material:\u003c\/strong\u003e French linen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilling:\u003c\/strong\u003e thin, highly compressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 cm (23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentral bite area depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 cm (9.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 kg (3.5 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e ambidextrous — left and right arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e standard sleeve work and hidden-sleeve-style scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecoys and handlers ready to move from classic sleeve work toward training that mimics reality. Suited to working and protection dogs that already know sleeve work and are ready for a less predictable picture, and to anyone who wants one piece of equipment covering several types of session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to work it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with familiar work, sleeve fully visible, and only then move to scenarios where it is less obvious. Encourage a full, deep grip in the central bite area, keep the out clean and on command, and store the sleeve somewhere dry and ventilated to protect the linen. Realistic scenario work demands a high level of control — run it with an experienced decoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a real hidden sleeve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot in the full sense. It does not hug the arm the way a classic hidden sleeve does. But the thin, dense filling means nothing puffs out, so it reads like hidden-sleeve work and gives you a feel close to the real thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it as an ordinary bite sleeve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — that is the point. It was designed to cover both classic training and realistic scenarios without swapping equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for left-handed decoys?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
