Hi, I’m Eric with Lion Country Supply and I’m here today to talk to you about our Better Stake Outs. If you have been to hunt tests, field trail, or even your friends back yard; you have probably seen these. They are very popular item that we have. They are basically just a stake out for staking your dog out.
We have two different options; they are both made of cold rolled steel. The longer one is thirty-two inches and the shorter one is eighteen inches. They both come with twenty four inch chains and high quality Italian made brass snaps. They also completely swivel 360 degrees, so they are great so your dog is not able to get tangled up around them.
As you can see they also have a durable bright orange powder coating; which is great so that you can see them so you don’t trip over them while they are out in the yard if you have them out and your dog is not on them. The different lengths are great depending on the soil conditions you’re running in. We recommend the longer length if your hunting in sandy areas for example the coast of the Carolinas or maybe Wisconsin; you get a lot better holding power. The shorter one works well if you’re in a clay or rocky soil.
I’m out here with Angie today to show you a little more about our Better Stakeout. Here it is shown with the chain; we also have the EZ Cleanout Cable which makes it a little easier if you’re muddy or dirtier area.
One of the things we often see with the Stakeout is that they are not driven all the way into the ground. It is important that they are driven all the way into the ground so that as the dog moves around the stake, it can freely rotate so they won’t get tangled.
If you have any other questions about our stakeout give us a call or visit us at our website at lcsupply.com.
I have two of the 18″ and one of the longer ones which I use for soft ground. They are great, but the quality control on the welding of the D shaped attachment to the main swivel needs to be upgraded. Both of my 18″ stakes have had to be rewelded. NO I have not hit the stakes with the little sledge hammer, but apparently the vibration from pounding the stakes into hard ground was enough to shatter the weld == insufficient weld penetration. – J. Wiota
Thanks so much for the feedback, that is unfortunate. I’ve mentioned the weld issue with the quality control here and they will keep an eye on it. We value our customers feedback and do have a 30 money back guarantee if you are not completely satifisfied.
I’ve always received prompt and excellent service from Lion Country Supply but I must agree with the comments of J. Wiola above. I have two of the longer stakeouts and just as described by him the welds shatter from the vibrational force of the stake being driven into the ground. In my area finding a welder to repair the D shaped attachment has not been easy and I am left without use of the stakes.
Joseph, we are sorry to hear about your issue with the welds of the Better Stake Out. We hear of this issue from time to time. Did you call into our customer service to see about getting it fixed or replaced? Our Better Stake Out is a favorite product amongst our customers and we stand by the usefulness and quality of this dog stake out.
Thank you.
