Using the KLIMB In A Shelter Environment

Hi. My name is Jess and I’m with Blue-9 Pet Products and today we’re going to talk about the KLIMB Dog Training Platform, its key benefits, use cases and how to apply it in your shelter. So, join me and my friend Vino back here for a couple of the key benefits of the KLIMB.

Welcome back. Here’s your introduction to the KLIMB. So, it’s a place table, with storage right underneath. These legs will unscrew and could be stored right underneath the KLIMB for easy storage, easy cleaning, and they stack really nicely out of the way.

A couple other of the really fun features with the KLIMBs being able to be unscrewed and stored underneath is that you can actually screw them on the top of the KLIMB as well. So this KLIMB, we’ve got upside down. What’s the reason I like to use this upside down? It makes a great slow feed bowl which is awesome enrichment for dogs that might be spending more time in the shelter than you would like them to. Should we give it a go?

Whoo! Good job, bud.

So, a little dog, it’s a platform and an elevated slow feed bowl where his cookies are all in the nooks and crannies of the leg storage and he’s having a great time foraging, looking for those cookies for him.

Good job. Good job. Once they’re done with their slow feed bowl, I want to take this KLIMB and make it a play structure for the dogs to have a little bit of a tunnel and get some height.

So, I’m going to take the KLIMB that has already got the leg in, to connect it right here on top. We will move this one out of the way. Vino, come play. Yes. Good job. Good boy. Come! All right. Come. Go! Go! Yes! Good job.

So as you can see, it went from our slow feed bowl to a platform right into a playground and enrichment equipment for our dogs to play on. Let’s talk about some other use cases for the KLIMB.

One of my favorite uses for the KLIMB in a shelter environment is using it as a leashing station while we’re taking our dogs out of their runs. Take a look.

Vino, climb. Yes, good boy. Very good job. Vino, can you sit? Yes, good job. Handshake. Very good.

Another great use for the KLIMB is using it as a step to get in and out of your grooming tub or as your grooming tables all on their own. Come on. Yes. Good job. Good boy.

Yeah. Yeah! Good job. Good boy. Sit. Good job. Good boy. All done.

You’ve seen just a handful of the ways the KLIMB is an awesome tool to have in your shelter or rescue facility, from leashing stations to steps in and out of the tubs, to your playground equipment, to your slow feed bowls, to your elevated beds and your kennel runs. The KLIMB is such a versatile multiuse tool. Another one of the best aspects of the KLIMB is being able to use it to train your dogs to have a place to call their own, especially during those critical meet-and-greets. A first impression goes a long way to potential adopters and if your dogs are hanging out on their KLIMB, collected with their focus to just get a new home, they’re going to have an increase in adoptions and a better overall experience in your shelter.

So, if you’re looking for how the KLIMB can help increase your shelter operations, get your dogs adopted faster and with long-term results, reach out to us today.
