TBI Pro-Style stake out with swivel & chain

Pros

Perfect Stake
November 3, 2023
I now have two of these that stay in the truck with a small sledge. They're long enough (the regular 30-in. version anyway) to hold in any ground I've tried so far, including grass, rocky soil, sandy soil, and packed dirt/gravel at a campground. The chain is a good length to allow some movement to get comfortable but not long enough to get the dog wrapped up. The dogs figure the situation out pretty quickly and are able to settle in. This gives another option besides the kennel in the truck when there's no shade in the parking lot, and is also great for tying out to rest the dogs during breaks hunting. Much better and more versatile than tying a dog to a trailer hitch and then tripping over the leash. One piece of advice - unclip the chain before pounding the stake in. If not, you'll ruin the snap clip on the post side. I forgot this (twice...) and now just have the chain fixed to the stake's swivel with a quick link. This works fine.

Outstanding Product and Service
October 5, 2023
Quality materials, heavy duty, swivels and clasps work as advertised. I use it for training and during Hunt tests. The chains are a perfect length for teaching dog that they need to stay and be calm in a small but safe and shaded location while waiting their turn to go to the line. After using just 2 days during training sessions then going to a test both of my dogs were calm and well rested for the weekend test. Big improvement on their attitude and performance compared to being in the kennel while waiting.
Pros
  • Well built, sturdy. Works as advertised.
Cons
  • None

First Time Stake Out User

Extremely happy with this purchase, it was my first time using a tie out stake. My puppy took to the process and product easily. The comfort of seeing the dogs range on the stake and knowledge that she was secure lessen my anxiety. I would high recommend this product to anyone for either hunting or home use.
Pros
  • Easy ordering, quick delivery, quality product
Cons
  • None

Awesome for Goats
August 10, 2023
I had to look for a swivel stake for my goats, and they’re dairy breed so not the typical small under 100 pounds size. They are a minimum of 120 pounds weight and even though my husband has tried to use his concrete stakes to tie our goats up with, they would either pull them out of the ground or they were able to pull the chain off the stake. So far these are a favorite and have not had issues. I only did 4 stars due to the chains being so short, but husband was able to switch the chains around easily. If I could, I’d give a 4.5 stars out of 5. We love these stakes for them so far.
Pros
  • Perfect stake for heavy animals that almost constantly pulls
Cons
  • Short chain

Saw this stake out at a NAVHDA event a few weeks ago, and others like it. I like the owner feedback I got and blaze orange color.
Pros
  • Solid product with a nice color to go along.

Great Value for the Money
July 27, 2023
Purchased 4. All arrived undamaged and quick. Initially we didn't put the 1st into the ground far enough and my dog bent it at the bottom while using it as a back tie for bitework. (Operater error) They are all in the ground 3/4 of the way and at a angle. They work better than expected. Super happy, I'll be purchasing more.

Best Stake Out on the market, hands down.
September 9, 2022
I've used a lot of different stake-outs over the last 25 years and absolutely nothing holds up the way the TBI Pro-Style Stake Out does. If you want something that's going to last a long time, it's worth every penny.
Pros
  • Made of solid steel that won't bend and is easy to hammer into the ground and pull out. The chain and swivel is solid and durable and will handle large dogs with ease.
Cons
  • None

This is extremely heavy-duty and well built. The chain and clasp are also well built and easy to use. In hard ground, make sure to carry a large hammer to secure.

Exactly what it needs to be!
April 12, 2022
The update of a dual angle cut at the bottom is a great addition to the earlier models I have purchased. Now I can get it to drive straight into the ground. The chain and clasps are quality and will last. I travel/live full time in a trailer with 4 pointing dogs and having a space for them outside and contained is a must.
Pros
  • Dual beveled cute stake for easily putting it in the ground.
  • Chain is the length as described and don't bind on them selves
Cons
  • wondered about maybe switching from chain to nylon/plastic coated wire.

A better stake out doesn't exist
February 5, 2022
This simple design goes back decades to the guys that wrote the books on training. The chain is perfect length, swivels everywhere it's supposed, and you can pound it into just about anything with your 5lb hammer. Some future civilization, thousands of years from now, will study this stakeout and hopefully determine that this mobile training tool was where dogs got over their anxieties and learned to "sit with themselves," were fed in front of motels, and napped under shade trees. To me, it's just as important as any collar, lead, or launcher.
Pros
  • Perfect chain length
  • Indestructible
  • Simple design but with lots of thought
Cons
  • Need to remember your hammer

Stake Out review
December 21, 2021
Stake Outs work great for my dogs. I use them hunting, at feeding time, and while traveling.
Pros

Cons

Good for 3 dogs
November 10, 2021
I bought it because I have 3 dogs. It’s good for when I use the dogs at camp. I have 2 labs and a German shorthair. I use labs for duck hunting and don’t use the stake outs. But when I take all the dogs upland hunting/camping it’s nice to keep them moving while we are camping. When we travel 12+ hours it’s nice to stake each one to have enough time to use the bathroom while we stop.
Pros
  • Works well during trips and camping
Cons
  • None

Our friends were right
August 5, 2021
We ordered 4 stake outs and 2 whistles. They came immediately. Only issue one whistle fell out. Contacted them just to let them know but not an expensive item so not worried about a replacement. Nope that’s not how this company does business, they sent a new one. Very pleased with their customer service and the items. Will be using them again in the future. Thank you Earl and Krista Fowls

These things are awesome I bought two to use with my cable gang, turning my 3 dog gang into a five! Shipping was very fast!
Pros
  • No tangle, no mess!
Cons
  • Not really a con but way longer then I thought! Probably a good thing but a small hammer!

Perfect
April 25, 2021
Exactly what you want in a stake out. Strong, easily to pack and easily taken out of the ground. I switched the snaps to beefier ones only bc my lab is a moose. You will need a lump hammer to put it in the ground properly.
Pros
  • Rugged, easy to use, easy to pack.
Cons
  • Just a little advice. Put blue loctite on the threaded links otherwise they will come undone.

Stake-out with chain.
April 13, 2021
Stake with rotating head works well and is well made. The chain; on the other hand, was junk and I replaced it after the first day. The galvanized coating was so rough that it tore my hand while attaching a young dog. The other hard ware was good quality. They should not have gone with the cheap chain..
Pros
  • Mostly good stuff.
Cons
  • The chain had to go.

Great Stake!
November 3, 2020
This stake is very versatile because it is long enough to handle a chain gang and has the built in swivel for single dog use. Without the wide head it is easy to store, as well.
Pros
  • Versatility, durability (only bought this one as a replacement for a stolen one), and ease of use.

Great stake, great price!
September 4, 2020
Got two of these for staking dogs out at tests, training days, camping, etc. Already used them more then 12 days (test season is upon us) and I am quite pleased. The stake is great and well designed. The paint is looking rough after (literally) breaking rocks from Kenai to Delta Junction, AK and back but that is to be expected; no fault there. The chain, links and snaps didn't really pan out. There are brass swivel snaps on both ends and it's a rough galvanization on the chain. The second time I had a dog on one (at a NAVHDA test) he came walking up to me 30 minutes later dragging the chain. Clearly whatever horsing around he did un-snapped the brass snap link from the stake. If I was in a different part of the grounds, who knows where he could have ended up. I recommend swapping the stake side swivel snap for the quick link with some blue L.T. I ended up getting stainless quick links, 3 feet of stainless chain and reusing the brass swivel snap on the dog end for a perfect set up for our uses. Super thrilled with the stake-out and recommend 100%!
Pros
  • Stake is perfect. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Cons
  • Chain is just ok, and I don't recommend using the swivel snap on the stake-out side of the chain. Easy fix as delivered by simply removing it and using the provided quick link.
