The GAPPAY IPO 1 Wooden Dumbbell is a professional obedience training tool designed for IGP, IPO, and Schutzhund retrieve exercises. Built to meet regulation weight and dimensions, this dumbbell can be used for both training and trial competition.
Constructed from solid beechwood, the dumbbell is tasteless and odorless. Trainers prefer beechwood because it helps prevent dogs from chewing or developing an inconsistent grip during retrieve training.
The IPO 1 dumbbell weighs approximately 0.65 kg (1.43 lb), which matches the official weight used in IGP/IPO Level 1 obedience retrieve exercises. The balanced shape and smooth hardwood surface encourage dogs to carry the dumbbell correctly while building confidence in formal retrieve work.
This type of dumbbell is commonly used for:
- IGP / IPO obedience training
- competition preparation
- building a correct hold and carry
