Why the KLIMB Belongs in Every Summer Routine

As temperatures rise and routines relax, summer opens the door to more time with our dogs, but it also brings new challenges: overstimulation, disrupted training, visitors, travel, and more. The KLIMB® Training Platform isn’t just for pros, it’s a smart, versatile tool that gives everyday pet parents more control, more fun, and more calm this summer.

This season, help your customers rethink what “training tool” really means, and show them how the KLIMB fits into real-life, warm-weather scenarios.

At Home: A Summer Routine that Actually Sticks

Kids home from school? Hosting backyard BBQs? Trying to juggle your Zoom calls and a high-energy dog? A platform-trained “place” cue gives dogs a job to do when the rest of the house is chaotic.

Retail Messaging Tips:

• Turn your dog’s KLIMB into their summer chill zone

• Use it to stop counter surfing, jumping, or begging during family meals

• Great for kids and dogs: supervised games like “go to your spot” build focus and fun

Why it works: Dogs love consistency. The KLIMB becomes a familiar anchor that makes expectations clear, even when the environment is unpredictable.

On the Go: Your Dog’s Portable Training Station

Whether heading to the lake, a family cabin, or just a weekend road trip, routines go out the window during summer travel. That’s when the KLIMB shines.

Key Benefits to Highlight:

• Lightweight (14 lbs), stackable, and easy to clean

• Legs store underneath for compact travel

• Non-slip surface stays steady on grass, gravel, or decking

Use case suggestions for your customers:

• Bring it along to your Airbnb so your dog knows exactly where to settle

• Use it as a safe space during fireworks or chaotic new settings

• Tired of your dog barking through patio dinners? The KLIMB helps them chill

Quick Training, Big Impact

Even five minutes a day can build better behavior, and the KLIMB makes short sessions simple and effective. Show customers how to integrate micro-training into daily life:

• Morning check-in: A few reps of “place” and “release” before the day starts

• Pre-walk focus: Settle on the KLIMB while clipping the leash or waiting for the door to open

• Enrichment break: Play “touch,” “sit pretty,” or “stand” on the KLIMB between fetch rounds

Retail idea: Bundle the KLIMB with a clicker and treat pouch to offer a “summer starter training kit.”

Mental Stimulation = A Cooler, Calmer Dog

Dogs need more than exercise to stay balanced. The KLIMB gives pet parents an outlet for structured enrichment, even on days when it’s too hot to run or play fetch.

Promote enrichment-focused use:

• Turn the KLIMB into a snuffle station with a towel and treats

• Set it up indoors for rainy-day puzzle toy time

• Encourage place-based impulse control with chews or frozen enrichment

Retail tip: Display signage like, “Too hot to hike? Mental enrichment is just as powerful as physical exercise.”

Helping Your Customers Say Yes to the KLIMB

Position it as a lifestyle tool, not just a “training platform.” Here’s how to support your customers:

If a customer says: “Isn’t this for trainers?”

Try: “Actually, this is one of the easiest tools pet parents can use at home to build better behavior, fast.”

If they ask: “What can I do with it?”

Try: “Use it to teach your dog where to go when guests arrive, for travel, enrichment, and building calm indoors or out.”

If they’re worried: “Do I need special training?”

Try: “Nope! There are free how-to videos online and simple instructions to get started. It’s great for beginners.”

Seasonal Display Ideas for Retailers

• Host a “KLIMB Summer Challenge” with photo entries and a giveaway

• Create a window or endcap display with picnic and vacation themes

• Offer bundle pricing with treat pouches or interactive toys

• Demo the KLIMB at summer sidewalk sales or adoption events

Final Thought

When pet parents understand that the KLIMB can make daily life easier, not just training class more effective, they start to see it as a tool they need, not just one they want.

This summer, let’s help customers bring structure, fun, and peace of mind to the season, one platform at a time.
