Required DTC Gear: Klimb Dog Training Platform
Nov 26, 2024DTC required dog gear for successful training. You can purchase your dog training platform from my Training Gear I Love page. The link is called Klimb Dog Training Platform by Blue-9 and takes you directly to Amazon so you can pick the color of Klimb platform you want and buy it. The links are embedded with my Amazon store code.
The Klimb training platform is made of tough plastic. The legs screw on and off, so that it folds up and can be easily brought with you to all training sessions at my house or other places we train. At your house this training platform can be set up indoors or outdoors for daily use. One dog per platform, the plastic is easy to wipe clean making it great for outdoor use with our wet muddy winters here in South Puget Sound Washington!
From a training standpoint the platform is used daily in multi-dog homes. Each dog has a platform at my house, and they are trained to go to their place and stay there. It is their personal spot in a shared community space. Used to control your dog’s behavior through trained place social boundary participation. Working service dogs use it to get dressed daily. It elevates the dog upwards to make it easier for us to handle and groom our dogs daily. We also use it for training static obedience positions: called switch of positions: sit-stand-down. Lastly, we use this valuable training gear item for fitness: form, balance and stretches.
A single platform is large enough for one dog to stand, sit and lay down on it. Klimb By Blue K9 is perfect size for training your dog, 24 x 24 inches square and raises the dog up off ground 10-12 inches. If you have a dog that is 30” tall or 30” long (Saint Bernard or Great Danes) you need to buy 2 platforms and push them together. I use zip ties to keep them together.
Please visit shop dog training gear I love page and order your Klimb Dog Training Platform!
Those of you who enjoy DIY projects. Build one from wood. I have made several and use them outdoors at my home dog kennel. I have 3 heights, all are 24 x 24 square. The heights are in reference to your height. Aiming to raise the dog up so his face is in line with your belly button. This improves your comfort so you do not have to over reach or bend down too much. Allowing you to train, socialize, interact, control, bathe, brush or pet your dog for daily use. How you plan to use it also depends on the leg height.
