LCS Better Stake Out
This Item is not available for expedited shipping or LCS Saver due to the weight of the package.
With a longer chain and stronger snaps than the rest, the LCS Better Stake Out is the best one dog stake-out on the market. Tested at field trials, hunt tests, hunting camps and back yards across the country to contain your dog safely in a specified location. This 30 inch long and 3/4 inch diameter cold rolled steel dog stake-out is made to hold, especially in loose and sandy soil even with strong dogs. The blaze orange powder coating is scratch resistant. Your dog will have plenty of room to move on the tangle-proof arm that rotates 360 degrees with 40 inches of heavy duty welded link chain. The Italian brass snaps can take years of tugging without fail. The loop on the rotating arm serves as a handle for easy removal from the ground when it is time to pack up.
Need a dog stake-out for hard and rocky soil? Try the LCS Better Stake-Out Small.
If you don’t like chain, we recommend our LCS EZ clean Stake-Out cable. This is a polyurethane coated high strength cable that is perfect for smaller dogs and is easy to clean. 3 foot total length.

Great Stake Out | |
Probably one of the better stakes out there. Unfortunately they only last about a year at best for me. After repeated pounding in the ground the weld eventually breaks and the stake needs replacing. | ||

Great for even large dogs! | |
I used this stake out on my 135 pound German Shepard. I was worried about him pulling it out when I left him alone since he is still a puppy. After using it for 15 minutes the other night, I am very confident that he will not be able to pull it out. He did several large pulls and it did not budge at all. | ||

Sized for a Lab, not my English Springer Spaniel | |
Its a well made product and sturdy, without question. But, its heavy, long and probably just too much horse for my little ESS. I returned it for the smaller version after watching my trainer use the smaller version on Boykins and my ESS, and it held them in place over several hours. | ||

Have bought many! | |
THis is the best stake-out there is, bar none. Chain doesnt get tangled, and the length makes it great for soft soil and/or large dogs. I have bought too many to count for a hunting-dog string and am now purchasing three more to give to my Texas nephews for Christmas. They each have dogs and camp a lot, stumbling over leashes tied to picnic tables. This is such a better solution, whether or not you have bird dogs or are a hunter. I took a Rhodesian Ridgeback I was dog-sitting to a field trial recently; she had never been on a stake but took to it really quick. Like a crate with no walls.. | ||

Stake Out Success | |
Worked great with the 36 cable. I also learned a trick to run the stake out thru the middle of a bundt pan and you have a water bowl dogs cant tip over thanks Brian!. | ||

Lasts forever | |
I bought a LCS Better Stake Out about 6 years ago. It is as strong and dependable today as it was 6 years ago. Great price for something that lasts forever. | ||

Effective. Works well. Only problem is, depending on the soil, it is sometimes difficult to remove from the ground. | ||

Should have a few in every dog rig... | |
Steel, powder coated, brass snaps and US made. I like both sizes for setters, the smaller ones ideal for small stature or more experienced senior dogs that know the routine. The big ones are great for boneheads or young dogs that wouldnt otherwise be able to contain themselves. These are built to last. | ||

Performed as Expected | |
Many years of use and a little abuse with an 8 # sledge in and out of all types of soil throughout the country and always held dogs tight and safe. Keep an eye on the chain snaps as that is a place things can break, hence the reason for the four stars as opposed to five. | ||

Good strong stake out, easy to use, good value | |
I have 2 of these large stake outs. I leave one in the yard to stake the dog there and I take the other one along on the road when I have the dog with me. You need a good sturdy hammer to pound it in to hard soil but it stays where you put it, even if the stake is in clay and the dog is trying the stake. I have not used the stake in sand or rock. I see a lot of these around on training and test days, plenty of people trust this stake to secure their dog. These are sturdy, built to last, simple to use, and a very good value in my opinion. | ||

It just works | |
A lot of times we buy things that are not as good as they looked online. Not the case with this stake out! I had made my own by wielding some pieces, so I new what I didnt work. I was hopeful the LCS design would address the flaws in my homemade solution. 1. drives in without feeling like your tearing up your shoulder 2. pulls out without feeling you hurting your back 3. spins freely, so you dont come back to a dog who wrapped himself around the stake 4. solid - I dont think the head 5/8 or 3/4 round stock will mushroom from repeated driving into ground | ||

LCS Better Stake Out | |
Overall a great product. There are only two areas for improvement. The first is that the welds on the stake that hold the U-shaped section where the ring and chain attach have broken on 2 of the 5 stakes I own. The breaks occurred on the bottom weld on both stakes. These are relatively new stakes and have not been subjected to abuse. Also, the chain supplied is too long. I understand that dogs should never be left unattended while on the stake. However, the length supplied is long enough to allow a dog to roll on the chain and be caught in a half hitch. This is a potentially dangerous situation since most dogs will continue to pull harder and harder against the chain to get loose. I cut the chain supplied on each stake in half to avoid this problem. This gives the dog plenty of room to move around the stake and greatly reduces the potential for injury to the dog. | ||

Stake out | |
The lcs stake out is a good value for the price. I run retrievers and have several stake outs out at a time. The swivel and big loop make it convienent to stake and pull out. I like a longer chain so I replace with a 6 foot section of link and reuse the LCS hardware. | ||

Stake out chain | |
I have three of these, two with the 18 stake and one of the longer ones. The short ones are easy for the dogs to pull out of our soft wet winter soil -- even for my 30+ pound springers. I advise the longer stake if you have Labrador or other good sized dogs. I had the weld break on the D loop on one of the smaller stakes and had to have it welded, other than that defect, I am happy with the units. I should probably purchase another long stake for winter weather. | ||

LCS Stake Out | |
The LCS Better Stake Out is a quality product second to none. There are many stake out tools on the market, but none that compare to the Better Stake Out in quality and value. Im confident it will be the last stake out product you purchase! | ||

Poor Welds on Stake Out loop | |
I really like the stake out but the welds on the loop broke right away- the weld bead was just sitting there no penetration. Great concept, just had to fix the welds | ||

energetic shepherd | |
We went through several spiral stakes that our german shepherd puppy would pull right out of the ground. We purchased this stake for at our campsite & LOVE it! She is no way pulling this one out of the ground & the swivel is great! | ||

I love this Steak Out | |
I love this Stake Out, Its tough, rugged and The top swivel is very free floating so your dog wont wrap the chain around the stake. I have a 100 pound Lab and he has yet to pull the LCS Better Stake Out, out of the ground. Thumbs up on this one | ||
