Board Specification
Materials
- • Stable raised platform
- • Renewable timber frame
- • Recycled sports pitch surface
Design
- • Rectangular design helps encourage straight sits, stands, and retrieves
- • Rounded corners for safety and a quality finish
- • 45-degree mitréd corner joints*
* This means the corners fit together at an angle rather than exposing the end grain of the timber. By reducing exposed end grain, less moisture can penetrate the wood, helping improve durability and weather resistance over time.
Dimensions
- • 60cm x 40cm
- • Platform height: 10cm
How Place Boards Work
What’s rewarded will be repeated.
Place boards help set your dog up for success by making the correct choice easier and clearer.
When the right behaviour is consistently rewarded, the dog is more likely to repeat it in the future.
As training progresses, challenges are added, and eventually the place board is faded out altogether.
The repetitions completed during foundation training make it more likely that your dog will succeed when cued to do that behaviour in the future.
Building Positive Associations
Foundation training builds positive associations with being on the unique texture. The texture of the place board surface provides a tactile contrast to the surrounding ground, making it easier for the dog to recognise when all four paws are in the right place versus the wrong place. For example, when teaching a sit-stay, your dog learns that remaining on the board earns rewards. Stepping off the board or creeping forward does not. Over time, this helps reduce mistakes and increases reliability.
