It's important to understand two things. I live on the Canadian Coast of the North Atlantic, and that my pup is a 60 pound, high prey drive, adolescent. The end of my street is the longest sand beach in Nova Scotia, and across the street ,one of Canada's most beautiful rustic trail systems. Breathtaking is an understatement, yet an environment that is equally unforgiving. My priority is for safety equipment ecosystems that have no single points of failure, as a mistake, or weakness breach, can have devastating outcomes. My standards are the highest, and the tag line, " For Dogs Sake" certainly says it all. I have never been more pleased and confident in products than I am with my Gravity Stake and Tie Out. This is a restraint ecosystem, a safety environment fabric that indeed will secure and protect. From the beaches of the North Atlantic, to the cliff side trail systems, to my back yard fires, both I and my canine companion, Penny, have a trusted, restraint combination that provides flexibility for adventure, and the confidence to relax and enjoy some of life's finest moments. 5 Stars really doesn't say it all. Well done to the Saker team. The design is brilliant and life is better with the Gravity Stake and Tie Our in it.
