Designed for Performance in Any Setting

The turf surface offers excellent grip, giving dogs confidence to stay on the board. Unlike slick plastic or wooden alternatives, this textured surface mimics natural terrain. As a result, dogs remain comfortable during longer training sessions. In terms of construction, the boards are moulded from high-impact material that won’t crack, chip, or warp. Built-in drainage channels prevent water from pooling on the surface. Therefore, you can train in damp or wet weather without compromising performance. While many boards slide or tip with movement, our Turf Place Boards feature a NO TIP design. Even large or enthusiastic dogs won’t flip them over. In addition, high-grip rubber feet keep the board stable on smooth surfaces such as tile, concrete, or wood flooring.

Portable, Stackable, and Easy to Store

Mobility is key for trainers who work in different locations. Weighing just 6.5 lbs (with turf) or 7.25 lbs (rubber version), each board is light enough to carry with ease. At 16″ wide, 24″ long, and 3.5″ high, they offer a suitable footprint for all dog breeds. When not in use, boards can be stacked neatly for space-saving storage. This is especially helpful for multi-dog households, training schools, or gundog clubs. Furthermore, the open-air base allows airflow underneath, helping to preserve grass during extended use outdoors.

Adaptable to All Surfaces and Environments

Training on uneven terrain? No problem. These boards remain stable whether placed on rough ground, gravel paths, or manicured lawns. On hard indoor floors, the anti-slip rubber feet ensure complete safety, even during energetic drills. Thanks to their thoughtful design, Cato Place Boards adapt easily to your training environment—indoors, outdoors, on the field, or in the hall.
