Balance Bars
£18.00
Dog Training Balance Bar
Looking to improve your dog's fitness, balance, and body awareness?
Whether you're working on canine conditioning, building a free stack for the conformation ring, or developing strength through static positions, Balance Bars are the ideal tool.
These narrow, raised foot targets refine your dog’s stance.
Their compact shape restricts the space available between front and rear feet, encouraging your dog to find — and hold — the perfect stance (or stack, as it's known in the show ring).
Also referred to as Stack Blocks, Standing Platforms, Balance Beams, or Foot Targets, these tools support a wide range of goals:
- Building strength and stillness
- Developing proprioception (body awareness)
- Supporting rehabilitation exercises
- Teaching free stacks
- Introducing beginners to dog fitness equipment
Each pair is lightweight yet stable. The non-slip rubber underside grips to the surface you choose to train on.
This includes our Position Box, allowing you to create a modular stacking box dog training setup without the pieces being fixed together.
Why Trainers Love Our Balance Bars
Improves Full-Body Awareness
Balance Bars help dogs become more aware of all four limbs, promoting better alignment and control during training.
Refines Foot Placement
The narrow surface encourages dogs to place their paws with accuracy, helping them find and maintain a clean, balanced stance without unnecessary movement.
Builds Strength Through Stillness
By encouraging your dog to hold a stable position, Balance Bars support the development of postural strength —especially in the core and limbs.
Stable and Secure Underfoot
Each bar features a top layer of blue anti-slip traction tape. Underneath, the recycled rubber base provide grip and stability on a variety of surfaces — so there's no need to fix the bars to a platform or box.
Fits Inside Position Boxes
Exclusively sized to fit inside our Position Boxes, Balance Bars create a modular setup that adds precision and challenge to your stacking or conditioning work.
Durable with a High-Quality Finish
Made from treated timber with smooth, rounded corners, Balance Bars are built to last. They’re easy to handle and move between training setups, making them a practical tool for everyday use indoors or outdoors.
