PLASTIC DUMBBELLS – are turned from one solid piece of high density polyethylene for that indestructible training tool. Plastic dumbbells are AKC approved for use in the ring. Plastic dumbbells come in a variety of options.

• Standard (exactly like the wood one).

• High Profile (HP – available in all size plastic dumbbells): Thinner diameter bars are available for our plastic dumbbells, providing higher clearance and easier mouth grip. This feature is particularly helpful for the herding and toy breeds.

• High Angle (HA – available in sizes 6 cm – 9 cm):
A shallow taper on the ends of this dumbbell (straighter sides – almost no taper at all) provides for a good snug fit for the long narrow nosed dogs (Belgians, Bassets, German Shepherds, Collies, Shelties, Borzois), also providing easier balance because of the shorter overall length. This style is generally not appropriate for average square muzzled dogs such as sporting dogs, as the ends will interfere with their vision.

• Low Angle (LA – available in sizes 4 cm – 5cm): A lower angle on these dumbbell ends provides a snug fit for the flat or pug nosed dogs while keeping ends away from eyes and cheekbones. Also good for large eyed dogs (e.g. Pug, Cavalier, Boston Terrier, Shitzu, Pekinese).

• Knurled Bar (K): This is a textured finish on the bar of any plastic dumbbell for a better grip.

There is an additional $2.00 charge for the Knurled Bar feature.
