One elevated paw-shaped platform. Dogs step, leap and balance across them, and because you choose the layout, the difficulty is entirely up to you.

Steps can be set in a line, a zigzag, or a circle, at whatever heights and spacings you want. That flexibility is the point — the same components make an easy course for a puppy or a genuine challenge for a trained dog.

Surfaces are textured so paws do not slip, and the edges are rolled rather than cut.

At a glance

BEST FOR: Adding to an existing set, or filling a gap in a course you already have.

Buying from scratch, the Set of 3 at $1,360 or Set of 5 at $2,264 works out better than singles — three singles cost $1,362.
