Quick, easy and cheap. Use your picnic table. Drill a hole in one end of your picnic table put an eye bolt through it and your done. It’s a little uncomfortable for you as it’s lower to the ground and the seat is in the way but you should only need it for a week or two so if you can suffer through it’s a cheap way of getting by.
Another way would be to basically build a 2′ wide shelf in your garage about 8′ long with an eyebolt in it. purty basic no real need for plans

March 29, 2007 at 8:42 pm #30376I personally haven’t used a training table but rather do everything related to table work in varying areas around the yard. This idea might sound odd but I think that by changing locations the dog doesn’t get so “situational”.
However I have often thought that if I was going to use a table I would get one of those fold-up 8’ tables from Menards and put a skid proof cover on it. That way it could be put away when not in use.

March 29, 2007 at 11:59 pm #30383I think table work would be considered force fetching. Varying areas really doenst matter cause in the end they know there going to do it no matter what. Controling the situation in this case is best. The table simply alows you to tie the dog down so he/she has limited mobility and you can control what happens. I know some have differnt takes on this but thats mine as long as the job gets done in the end then good to go.

March 30, 2007 at 2:04 pm #30391I have never heard of the training table concept, but I am interested to hear more about it. If it is similar to force fetching, we usually start indoors with the young dogs. I pin them between my leg and a wall or cabinet to prevent all the squirming. I have also used a fence or tree when I am outdoors. Any info on the table concept would be greatly appreciated.

March 30, 2007 at 4:36 pm #30399some people use a table to start to teach a pup to whoa(pointer) and for force fetching. I give you more control over your dog. He is up off the ground and out his elemant. You are work at you level not his. you do not have to been over or be no your knees.

March 30, 2007 at 7:34 pm #30268Yea what he said .
Just alows you to work at your level and control the training sesson. no more squiming between you legs and getting away.
Real easy discription would be have your dog on a table with an eye bolt bolted to the top surface. Take a short lead, tie one end to the eye bolt and clip the other end to the dogs caller. The lead should be no longer than the height of the dog from the table to his/her caller. This method allows you to have a hands and leg free session.

March 31, 2007 at 11:33 pm #30413I only force fetched my current pup and I used a chain link fence and a leash. I put the leash through the fence and pulled it out so only a few inches were left and the dog could not move. It worked great and it was real cheap I also used the same concept with my deck rails. I also liked how I could just sit on my knees right next to him waiting for him to fail. However, I think my neighbors thought I was hurting the little guy at first .
Good luck
