IGP/IPO Protection Blinds & Schutzhund Blinds for Dog Training

Schutzhund Blinds (IGP/IPO Protection Blinds)

A Schutzhund blind is one of the most important competition equipment used in the protection phase of IGP, IPO, and Schutzhund trials. In training or trial, the blinds are placed on the field, and a helper (decoy) hides inside while the working dog searches for and locates them.

Our range of Schutzhund blinds for sale includes collapsible, telescoping, and non-telescoping models that meet the demands of training clubs, handlers, and competitors. These dog blinds Schutzhund users rely on are built for durability, portability, and official competition use.

Schutzhund Blind Built for Training and Competition

All of our Schutzhund blinds are designed to match IGP and IPO standards. Most stand at the official 8-foot height required for trials, while mini blinds provide a practical, space-saving option for everyday training and smaller setups.

With options like collapsible frames and telescoping poles, dog trainers can select the right blind for both club practice and competition days.

Strong Product Materials That Last

The materials and construction details make a difference in how long your blinds last in the field.

• Heavy-duty reinforced fabric: Marine-grade vinyl and similar weather-resistant fabrics stand up to sun, rain, and constant use. They won’t sag or tear easily.
• Aluminum and steel poles: Aluminum frames resist rust and won’t overheat in the sun, keeping helpers more comfortable. Steel poles give added rigidity in tough conditions.
• Double-stitched seams and reinforced tops: Stress points are reinforced for strength, so the blinds hold their shape and stay reliable through years of training.

These features give you a blind that performs during long practice sessions and official trial events.

Collapsible and Telescoping Frames

Ease of setup and takedown matters when you train your dog often often.

• Collapsible frames fold down quickly into compact sections for transport.
• Telescoping poles adjust and collapse smoothly, reducing setup time on the field.

Both systems fit into included carry bags, making it simple to move equipment between fields or pack for a competition.

Ground Anchoring for Stability

Every Schutzhund blind needs to stay upright against wind and the force of a working dog. That’s why our blinds include:

• Spikes or ground stakes that secure into the soil.
• Anchor steps or reinforced bottoms for extra grip.

Helper-Friendly Product Features

Blinds are designed with both the dog and the helper in mind.

• Viewing peepholes let the decoy see the dog approach without breaking cover.
• Reinforced tops and wide interiors give helpers room to move while staying protected.

Easy Transport and Storage

Every Schutzhund blind comes with its own carry bag. Collapsible and telescoping poles fit neatly with the fabric, creating a portable system that’s easy to haul, load in a vehicle, and store off-season.

For trainers running multiple dogs, portability means less downtime between sessions and more efficient use of the training field.

Single Schutzhund Blinds and Full Sets

You can purchase a single blind for practice or choose a full set of six, the number required for regulation IGP dog protection trials. Mini blinds are also available in sets, offering an economical and lightweight option for everyday drills.

With options from standard 8-foot Sch blinds to compact mini blinds, you can outfit your training field for both practice and trial standards.
