Placeboard

A dog that knows its place is a dog you can trust anywhere. The Sophsdram Placeboard is the go-to training tool for building rock-solid obedience — teaching your dog to go to a defined spot on command and stay there, calm and focused, no matter what's going on around them.

Favoured by professional trainers and working dog handlers, the placeboard creates a clear, consistent boundary your dog can understand. The result? Less chaos, more control — and a dog that genuinely settles.

Why the Placeboard Works

• Teaches a reliable Place command — your dog learns exactly where to go and stay
• Builds impulse control — reduces jumping, bolting, and over-excitement
• Develops confidence — gives your dog a safe, defined space they can call their own
• Non-slip surface — stays put on any floor during active training sessions
• Durable construction — built to handle daily use, indoors and out
• Lightweight & portable — take it to the park, a friend's house, or training class
• Suitable for all breeds and sizes

Ideal For

Obedience training · Impulse control · Gundog work · Settling anxious dogs · Teaching calm behaviour at home or in public

Getting Started

Introduce the board with positive reinforcement — reward your dog for stepping on and staying. Build duration gradually, then add distance and distractions. Most dogs pick it up faster than you'd expect.
