Great Training Device
January 26, 2024
The Cato board is a great training device for any dog sport. I am using it to teach”place” for sending to bumpers, waiting for obedience exercises and just a spot for my 18 month old lab to learn commands and patience😂. It is light weight and sturdy. I wouldn’t mind if they added a handle to the side for easing carrying!

This is a great tool for training your dog, regardless of the type of training. I use it for my retriever work waterfowl. It gives her a specific "place" to come back to work her bird. Once she understood what her place is, it makes it that much more easy to teach directionals.

Not a hunter. But the Cato board is a really sturdy platform for agility and performance training. The board is a really nice target for dogs. Very visible very stable and does not shift. I can use the Cato board with another ramp to practice agility contacts.

My dog took to the place boards as a “target” almost immediately. On retrieves, puppies have a tendency to overrun as a game . With the place board, the new game was to return immediately to her target, to sit, and deliver to hand, and the transformation was almost immediate. The second benefit was the intuitive casting, creating confidence in the puppy.

The rubber top is easy for your dog’s feet to grab onto. I use as incline side balance to increase strength in weak knees in my dog. Al’s have grass top which is good for place.

October 20, 2022
Top quality product, extremely sturdy, and, as always, I got it quick!
I can already tell my dog “Place” and he sits and stays on it until I release him. I can walk around, clean the garage, go in the house, whatever, and he won’t move until released. Get one!

These Cato boards are the best for training.

Love gun dog supply, they always have what I need.
The Cato boards with the rubber surface are great for traction for any of my dogs training..they
dont slip..some people like the grass top one that is their preferance and Gun Dog has those too but I like the rubber..
Nice choice of colors as well..
I just bought another one with the rubber top for a friend in Florida to train her new puppy on..she loved it and she has been training for over 20 years and this is her first one..she loves it..

This Cato Board is the perfect size for my 35-pound Beagle mix. We are working on body placement, among other things. It is easy to keep around for spur-of-the-moment training but fits under my coffee table so it is out of the way. The rubber top is super easy to keep clean and I know my dog isn't going to slip off if he mounts it too quickly. And the shipping through Gun Dog Supply was less than other sites.

I decided to buy through 'Gun Dog Supply' for the following reasons. I could find something less costly on Amazon. And I did look at that site and others. But in terms of sturdiness and faster shipping, I choose Gun Dog Supply and glad that I did!

First time to use own or use a Cato Board. I actually felt it was to short for the down position for my Aussie but my trainer assured me it is correct and will clean up his downs and stands. My Aussie and Border Collie have now learned how to drive back to the board. I will have to order another board so they each have their own!

The Cato Board Place Board is perfect for my rather large Golden to teach many positions and perfect recalls. I ordered the rubber surface and the traction is great for him. It has a decent weight to it so it’s not going to slide around but still light enough for this retired lady to carry it easily.

Great product and quality made. Will last very long time and take use and abuse of dog training. Used the homemade wood and carpet ones for years. My dad ordered a couple of these. Once I seen his, had to order my own once I got back home. Great service and fast shipping as usual with the Snells’s.

I saw this training board at a dog training seminar that I recently attended. I knew I needed to purchase this for training. It is incredibly sturdy so I suspect it will last forever. I have already incorporated it into my training sessions. I would definitely buy it again. I was amazed at how fast it was shipped out.

Easy to move place board
February 27, 2022
When I was looking for a place board I had some outcomes in mind. The first outcome was not to take up much room. The second is easy to move, on the go. The third one was quick to clean. This Cato board was the perfect one to fit all three outcomes.

Cato Place Training Board
February 9, 2022
I wanted to train my Labrador to stay in its place. She is 7 months and weighs 63 pounds. I read many, many reviews of the Cato board before buying it. Many reviews said the buyer wished the boards were larger. I was worried about the size but ordered it anyway. When the Cato board arrived and I opened it, I was really worried it was too small. It has only taken about 3 days of "place" practice to get my big puppy to get on and stay on the Cato board. It works. Like many others though, I wish Cato would make a bigger board.
