DSSC Training Blind
Aluminum frame. Ballistic nylon cover. Spiked feet for the field, ball feet for the building.
The DSSC Training Blind gives you a trial-style hide you can set up anywhere you train. The lightweight aluminum frame is easy to carry and quick to stand up. The ballistic nylon cover holds its shape and stands up to dogs barking, bumping, and driving into the blind rep after rep. It ships with two sets of feet: spiked feet that anchor into grass outdoors, and ball feet that protect mats and floors indoors. It is built for IGP and American Schutzhund blind work, from first blind searches to the hold and bark.
Save 10% on a Full Set of 6: A trial field runs six blinds. Order six and get 10% off your blinds. Train the full blind search at home, just like trial day. Discount applied automatically at checkout.
Key Features
-
Ballistic nylon cover: Heavy, tightly woven fabric that resists tearing, abrasion, and weather.
-
Lightweight aluminum poles: Strong enough to stay rigid, light enough to carry several blinds across the field. Aluminum will not rust outdoors.
-
Spiked outdoor feet: Steel spikes drive into the ground to keep the blind planted in wind and when a dog makes contact. The flat tab lets you press the spike in with your foot.
-
Ball indoor feet: Rounded rubber feet protect rubber mats, turf, and floors in your club building or training facility.
-
Push-button foot swap: Feet lock onto the poles with a spring button. Switch from outdoor to indoor in seconds with no tools.
-
Open-back design: Gives the helper room to stand inside and work the dog the way a trial blind does.
-
Built-in carry handle: Grab it and move the blind between setups without breaking it down.
-
Two colors: Blue or black, both finished with DSSC branding.

Which Feet To Use
-
Grass and dirt fields: Spiked feet. They anchor the blind so it stays put when the dog hits it.
-
Rubber mats and turf: Ball feet. No punctures, no scratches.
-
Hard floors: Ball feet. Stable footing that will not mark the surface.
Quick Tip: Set up a full row of blinds to train the blind search the way it runs on trial day. Your dog learns to check every blind, not just the one where the helper usually stands. Pair it with a DSSC Trial Sleeve for a complete hold and bark setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sports is this blind built for?
It is built for IGP and American Schutzhund blind work, including the blind search and the hold and bark. It also works for any training that calls for a helper hide.
Is there a discount for buying a full set?
Yes. Order six blinds and save 10%. Six is the number of blinds on a trial field, so a full set lets you train the complete blind search. The discount is applied automatically at checkout. You can mix blue and black.
Does it come with both types of feet?
Yes. Every blind includes spiked feet for outdoor use and ball feet for indoor use.
How do I swap the feet?
Press the spring button on the pole, pull the foot off, and slide the other foot on until the button clicks into place. No tools needed.
Will it stay put when my dog hits it?
Outdoors, the spiked feet anchor the blind into the ground so it holds its position during contact. Indoors, the ball feet give a stable footing on mats and floors.
What is ballistic nylon?
It is a heavy, tightly woven nylon known for abrasion and tear resistance. It holds up to dogs, sun, and rain far better than standard fabric covers.
Can I leave it outside?
The aluminum poles will not rust, and the ballistic nylon cover is weather resistant. Storing the blind out of the elements between sessions will extend the life of the cover.
What colors are available?
Blue and black. Both carry the same construction and DSSC branding.
