There isn't another protection blind package on the market quite like this one. Every detail of the 8' USA Collapsible IGP Protection Blind has been thoughtfully designed by trainers who use this equipment every day. This complete set includes six professional-quality collapsible protection blinds built for IGP, IPO, Schutzhund, obedience, and other working dog training disciplines, making it the perfect choice for clubs, organizations, and competition fields.
Like all of our protection blinds, each blind is proudly handcrafted in the USA using heavy-duty marine-grade exterior fabric—not inexpensive vinyl, canvas, or tarp material. We have blinds that have remained on our training field through harsh northern winters since 2002, and they're still in service today. That's the level of durability we build into every blind.
The patriotic red, white, blue, and black color scheme proudly features embroidered "USA" appliqués on both sides of every blind, creating a professional and distinctive appearance across your entire training field.
Designed with the helper in mind, each blind includes two interior Air Mesh stick pockets that keep a bamboo stick, schlagstock, or whip within easy reach. The breathable fiberglass Air Mesh allows wet equipment to dry while making it easy to see what's stored inside.
We also widened the base of each blind by 14 inches over a standard protection blind, providing more room for helpers of all sizes to step comfortably in and out during training. Two reinforced fiberglass mesh viewing windows extend diagonally toward the rear of each blind, accommodating different helper heights while eliminating blind spots when watching for the incoming dog.
The lightweight collapsible pole system extends to a full 8-foot working height and telescopes down to approximately 4 feet for compact storage and transport. A locking pin system allows for quick, tool-free setup, while our exclusive four-layer reinforced hood keeps each blind securely positioned on the poles year after year—it won't slide down as the blind ages.
For outdoor training, the removable spike and loop anchoring system keeps each blind securely in place without permanently attached spikes that can damage your vehicle. Rubber end caps allow the blinds to stand securely on indoor training surfaces, making them ideal for year-round use.
Each blind folds neatly and stores in its own weather-resistant carry bag with shoulder strap and exterior spike storage, making transportation and storage remarkably convenient. You can literally carry all six blinds at one time.
Whether you're outfitting a new training club, replacing aging equipment, or preparing for your next trial, this six-blind package delivers the durability, innovation, and professional appearance serious working dog organizations demand.
Approximate blind weight: 8 lbs. each.
