The GAPPAY IPO 3 Wooden Dumbbell (2kg) is designed for IGP / IPO Level 3 obedience retrieve exercises, where dogs must retrieve a regulation-weight dumbbell during competition.
Constructed from solid beechwood, the dumbbell is tasteless and odorless. Trainers prefer beechwood because it helps prevent chewing and encourages dogs to maintain a clean, firm grip during retrieve work.
The IPO 3 dumbbell weighs approximately 2 kg (4.4 lb), which is the official weight used in Level 3 IGP / IPO retrieve exercises. This heavier dumbbell helps develop strength and reliability in advanced obedience training while preparing dogs for trial-level retrieves.
The balanced design allows dogs to pick up, carry, and present the dumbbell correctly, which is essential for scoring well in competition obedience routines.
This dumbbell is commonly used for:
- IGP / IPO Level 3 obedience retrieves
- advanced retrieve training
- building a strong, consistent hold
