Rubberized Surfaces

Rubberized surfaces offer a safe climbing surface for dogs' claws to grip, without the loud 'scrabbling' of a sand-treated contact surface. It's becoming increasingly common at trials as clubs resurface their contacts for safety and speed. Rubber surfaces are taking contacts by storm!

Should you do it? We suggest you use rubber surfaces if you are serious about competing and concerned your dog might encounter rubber surfaces at trials, or concerned with your dogs' safety in performance. If you are still unsure, you can coat half your equipment (half the a-frame, half the dogwalk, teeter, etc) and surface the other half later if you wish with ContactACoat.

We are proud to offer Contact-A-Coat kits! These kits include everything you need to resurface your used or new equipment. You will receive colored rubber pellets, resin and detailed application instructions. The color-infused rubber chips will adhere to any surface, and there is no need to repaint. Contact-A-Coat will retain its superior grip in any conditions, for even the fastest dogs! We provide blue and yellow chips for A-frames, dogwalks, and teeters, and yellow for the Table.
