No, my little dog dug it out of the ground on his own. I'm not sure how they do it, but he was dragging it around one time.
If your dog isn't a chewer, this might be a good option. to gnaw on the leases made of cloth Because my dog is a chewer, he needs cable to be able to watch it.
The stake is made of flimsy metal that will most likely break before it has a chance to rust; mine broke after only a few moves in a month. Although it is labeled as heavy duty, it is not.
It might. I'd sink my teeth into the sand, but I'm afraid it would come out. We bury it in the grass, but if our dog pulls on it hard enough, it will eventually escape. If you leave your dog unattended, I wouldn't count on it to keep them safe. We only use it to sit in the park and keep an eye on things.

Update: My 45-pound Belgian malanoise broke the spike in half after about a month. In sand. . I can't imagine anyone with a larger dog using this to secure their pet and then having it run away. br>I'm going to buy something else because I don't trust it with my other, larger dog. br>br>I'm on the fence about this one. br>I have a 55-pound labrador retriever, and this worked perfectly. br>However, I have a 45-pound Belgian malanoise who is an expert escape artist and troublemaker, having ripped this item from the ground three times and bent it. br>br>If you have a well-behaved dog, this is ideal; however, those who have dogs who are prone to misbehaving will find this inconvenient. I'd go with something else.
I purchased two of these in case I wanted to place them in different locations for when I'm outside with my dog. When I attempted to screw in the first one, the top piece snapped and twisted away, as if it were made of plastic rather than metal. I wondered if it was me, the ground, or if I had a bad one. So I took the second one and went to a different location, one that had recently been watered so the ground wasn't as hard, and it snapped about halfway through. It didn't seem like there was much force involved; I was just doing it with my hands. I'm disappointed because I waited for these in the hopes that they would assist me, but they have left me in the same situation as last week, with no yard solution that allows my dog more freedom. You get what you pay for, and in this case, I paid for these plus I'll have to pay for another set at a local store, which will be more expensive but hopefully of higher quality.
The product's tag specifies that it is only suitable for dogs weighing up to 60 pounds. I received an email from customer service. The customer service representative was extremely pleasant, and he promptly issued a refund. I explained, however, that returning a $7 item was not worth the trouble. I simply asked that the product description be updated to reflect the manufacturer's specifications.
This was purchased to secure my Bullmastiff puppy's collar. He's a big dog, weighing 103 pounds. This isn't what you'd call "heavy duty. " My dog bent it and broke the ring to which the chain is attached after 30 minutes of use. This is most likely suitable for small dogs weighing up to 40 pounds, but not for larger dogs.
My 60-pound Lab mix snapped the clip right off the stake, despite the fact that the description said it would hold a dog up to 100 pounds. Thankfully, he did not flee. With the lead dragged behind him, he rushed to the front door. It could've turned out a lot worse. br>I was able to slide back over the stake using the loop that the clip was hooked to for the time being, but I don't want someone with a dog bigger than mine to use this thinking their dog won't break it because if my dog, who is a good 40 pounds LESS than this thing says it can hold, can break it, then anything bigger will absolutely break it, and they might not just come back in. This could have been a flook, as I understand it. I simply want other pet owners to be aware of this.
The product is good, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have a dog with a lot of power. My pit bull is a one-year-old 48-pound medium-sized pit bull, and after I dug it down as far as I could, she pulled it out of the ground with her second tug. This could work with a larger number of smaller dogs, but it did not work for me. I gave it three stars because I know the product works, but it doesn't work for my dog.
My 35 pound puppy/dog can't get it out of the yard, and she likes to air jump, pull, and play rough because she's 14 months old - A cross between a shepard and a cavalier or a spaniel. The last one only broke because the lawn service ran over it and mangled it; of course, I don't believe it broke their mower, so I won't ask them to replace it. lol.
When you have multiple dogs, the handle that is convenient for you to pull in and out becomes an issue when your pets are outside; my dogs completely wrap their leads around their own and the other stake handles. They can no longer go 30 feet but only about 5 feet because it has become a giant knot. I reduced the number of steaks to one and it helped a little, but the open triangle design still makes it easy for them to tangle their leads. Their knots are constantly undone by me. br>br>I will say that this one stake can hold back my 40lb and 20lb dogs from pulling when they see a squirrel or groundhog, so it is reasonably sturdy, but it does fall to an angle when tugged every time I straighten it out. If you have more powerful dogs, this could be a problem. br>br>I'd buy it again, but I think a stake that doesn't allow pets to become tangled is preferable.
