The KLIMB™ is a dog training table used to elevate a dog in a “place” that creates a natural barrier without tying down or using a crate. There are many plans available on the Internet to build your own dog training table. Most of the plans involve heavy materials such as plywood, 4×4’s and other metal parts. Some even include tie down bolts or cables to keep the dog on the table. While these make for sturdy training tables, they are not portable or easily stored.
The KLIMB™ was developed to be a sturdy, lightweight, expandable and portable dog training table. It’s lightweight build and expandability makes it a more versatile option than a permanent wood structure. With multiple KLIMB™ platforms, various dog training table configurations can be created and utilized during training: stacks, linked runways, pyramids and many more! Due to its portability, it’s easy to take several units on a trip or that next hunt. Tie downs or other forms of containment are not necessary on the KLIMB™. Once a dog is trained using KLIMB™ platforms, they recognize that it’s their “place,” they’re comfortable and free of distraction no matter where they are set up. The dog will be focused on the trainer for the “release” command. Use of the KLIMB™ platform reinforces training commands every time it is used.
Dog Training Place Board
Trainers have long used a dog training place board or dog cot for “place” training. They are lightweight and easy to transport. A dog training place board is commonly used as a bed or a safe place for the dog to stay. They are also used in many group dog training classes as a way for the dogs to have their own space to help focus on the training task at hand instead of the dog next to them. The KLIMB™ is very useful in these applications but offers a sturdier platform for dogs to sit and lay on unlike a cot, which may sag or deteriorate over time. It also gives dogs a more solid base to jump off and onto.
In addition to being a great “place” and group dog training tool, The KLIMB™ can be stacked and connected in various configurations making it a much more versatile piece of equipment beyond a dog training place board. When stacked and connected in a pyramid, a trainer can help a dog gain confidence climbing up “stairs” and over other obstacles. Other applications with multiple KLIMB™ units include: over-under courses, tunnels and obstacle courses utilizing other equipment such as FitPAWS. http://www.camddwrcanine.co.uk/webshop/search#Start
