Build Confident Bites with the New Primal Canine Wedge Sleeve
Nov 12th 2025
Ray Allen Manufacturing and Primal Canine have teamed up to release the Bicep Wedge Sleeve, a purpose-built training tool created to help working dog handlers bridge the gap between traditional forearm sleeve work and confident upper-arm targeting. Designed for those dogs advancing toward bicep and triceps bite development, this sleeve is a new addition for serious trainers looking for smooth progression during bite work.
Innovative Collaboration for Real Training Progress
The Bicep Wedge Sleeve began with a collaboration between Mike Jones of Primal Canine and the Ray Allen Manufacturing team. This sleeve is modeled after the size and build of a traditional bite suit sleeve but features a thick, foam wedge integrated directly onto the bicep area. The wedge is engineered to be substantial, never too dense, giving dogs a target they recognize from early wedge work but in a new, more challenging position.
This familiar wedge feeling helps eliminate hesitation that commonly arises when dogs transition from forearm bites to deep bicep grips. It’s a critical step for building both confidence and commitment as the dog works closer to the decoy’s body, especially in advanced training stages.
Designed for Trainers, Built to Last
Available in signature red and black Primal Canine colors, the Bicep Wedge Sleeve was built for real working conditions. The large thumb loop on top ensures handlers can maintain proper sleeve positioning, whether training on a table, back tie, or directly with the dog. The rear handle offers versatility for triceps work and secure control during even the most intense bite sessions.
Constructed from rugged red Syntek with reinforced black trim, this sleeve prioritizes both durability and performance. Whether used for stage three bite work or daily practice, it stands up to repeated use and aggressive training.
Bridging the Bite Work Gap
Moving from forearm sleeves to upper-arm targeting is a challenge in any working dog program. Dogs are often hesitant or lack precision when first learning to bite closer to the body. The Bicep Wedge Sleeve is specifically engineered to tackle this problem, allowing trainers to maintain the deep drive and firm grip that successful bicep work demands.
By providing the familiar shape and pressure of a wedge, handlers can speed up the progression between standard sleeve work and full suit scenarios, reducing confusion for the dog and reinforcing calm, focused bites.
