My puppy and I first used the place boards at dog training and they have been dragged out to be used inside and outside, in all weathers. My dog seemed to really like it and so I decided to purchase one so we can work on things at home. The communication was fab, really personal, delivery was very quick and well organised. I hope that my dog and I will have lots of fun using place boards and I fully expect that it will last a long time as it is really sturdy and well made. Fully recommended- well done!

Board is excellent quality & arrived next day Dispite only paying for normal deliver, nice & thanks. My wife will be using the board for our Flatcoats training, we show our dogs & have had Flatcoats for 30+ years. First time we have used Anglian Dog Works and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Quality of materials used is great, very sturdy and well built box. Flooring is non slip, but also not slowing dog down in changing positions. Only improvement I would make is making it lighter to carry around and adding one extra handle on the front of the box for ease of moving around (I am personally not bothered about the branding, but some people will be)

Purchased a feeding box, couldn’t be happier with this training tool. Our Belgian shepherd loves it and is improving his scent work and also tracking training.
Customer service is 5 star

Absolutely thrilled with the quality of the finish of our new place board. It looks and feels like it’s going to last a very long time. We’ve bought it ready to start ESS puppy training. Appreciated the personal thank you message inside the box too.
Highly recommend

Looks lovely and well built. I also love that I got my dogs name engraved on it!

I haven't starting using it yet, but I can say that the build quality is excellent whilst also being lightweight, so easy to carry around. Can't wait to get started!

I recently purchased one of your feeding (dopamine) boxes, and I wanted to say how impressed I am with the overall quality. The materials feel excellent, and the workmanship is first-class. It’s clearly a well-thought-out, durable product, and I’m very happy with it.

I’m currently in the process of transitioning my dog onto the box, and that’s going well. The only small issue I encountered was the depth of the box. For my Border Collie (a medium-sized dog), he could not reach the bottom. I can see it being absolutely ideal for larger breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, or Dobermans.

That said, it was easy enough to solve. I used 20mm EVA foam sheets, available from Amazon.co.uk, cut to size and layered inside the box to raise the floor. If cut accurately, they fit snugly so no food falls between the inserts and the box walls. The foam is quite firm, and it also produces a clear sound when a piece of kibble is dropped in, which helps the dog locate it.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to consider offering two or three insert options to adjust the depth. This would make the box more versatile and suitable for a wider range of breeds, such as Border Collies, Cocker Spaniels, Labradors, and others.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the purchase. Thank you for producing such a high-quality training tool, as I have experienced with all the products I have bought from you—it’s clearly been made with care and attention to detail.

The Place Board works really well in getting my dog to understand that this is a starting point. He realises that he will get his reward treat if he goes there without asking. It’s a sturdy piece of equipment too.

I ordered a place board last year for my WCS, and it is so well made. I loved it so much, I decided to order another 3 for my training classes. Everyone comments on how great they are! Thank you very much. Zoe

Our 5 month old Cocker Spaniel Puppy Winnie has taken brilliantly to her new Place Board. The Place Board arrived well packaged with a personal message which was a lovely touch. The quality is superb & great value!
I am currently encouraging Winnie to go to her board to sit & stay & leave the Place Board with a treat reward during each repetition. She is very enthusiastic! I can highly recommend Anglian Dog Works for their great products 😊

Great home made product, arrived faster than I expected with a beautiful message from Emma and Matt.
I got the board to add to the training materials I had for my working cocker spaniel. He loves it and took to it within the first day! Always love to support a small family business

We've been part of the Agility club for over 2 years. Started when my rescue dog was 7 and we're still going strong now. The club is very friendly and supportive so we always have a great time!

I’m using these with my young Border Collie, Stalker, and I’ve been genuinely impressed with the quality and how useful they are in structured training.

The position box in particular has been excellent for teaching clarity in position work. I’m using it to help prevent creeping, improve straight sits, and build a much cleaner understanding of where he should be in relation to me. It gives the dog a very clear visual and physical reference, which makes a noticeable difference, especially with a driven dog who wants to anticipate.

The balance bars are equally impressive. They’re solid, well-made, and provide a stable platform for developing rear-end awareness, coordination, and overall body control. I’ve found them especially useful for improving Stalker’s engagement and focus, as well as helping him become more aware of his foot placement.

Both products are extremely high quality — you can tell they’ve been properly thought through and built to last, not just thrown together. They feel professional-grade and suitable for anyone serious about their dog training, whether for obedience, working dog foundations, or general fitness work.

Overall, first-class equipment that I would highly recommend.

Emma provides brilliant 1:1 training, and is totally flexible and plans the sessions to meet your dog’s training goals. I wanted to work on weaves, so Emma designed a session where we could practice weave entry and start to build my dog’s confidence with running through the weave channel. She gave me points to focus on at home, and was patient and kept everything at my dog’s pace. Highly recommend.
