Hey everyone! I thought it was time for a little re-introduction. 😊

I’m Danielle, the owner and operator of Wiggle Butts Design Labs. I started this business with one BIG goal in mind: to fill a gap in the North American market for stable conditioning equipment, helping our dogs stay strong and healthy. As a Mechanical Engineer, it’s been quite an adventure to combine my love for design with the messy, beautiful learning curve of being a first-time business owner!

Since launching in early 2022, I’ve learned so many lessons about what it takes to run a product-based business. It’s been a rewarding journey, and I’m grateful for every step of it. Thank you all for your support—I’m excited to keep sharing new products, ideas, and a little peek behind the scenes!

Since they are so versatile, Sit Platforms are one of the most commonly used props in canine conditioning!

They are perfect for cleaning up sloppy sits, restricting both length and width to keep your dog’s paws in a defined space. This prevents slouching, hyperextension, and lateral hip displacement.

Adding extra elevation makes the platform a more distinct target, and doing so with our Modular Feet can replace the need for a rubber bowl or plyo box.

You can also angle them with our modular feet, shifting your dog’s center of gravity to target specific muscle groups, relieve pressure on sensitive joints, or provide a more advanced target. 🎯

As with all our platforms, Sit Platforms are stackable, allowing you to fully customize the elevation or create target zones for more complex exercises.

How do you use yours? Let us know! 👇

Balance Bars, also known as stacking bars, are a specialized type of paw target that restricts how far forward or backward your dog’s paws can be placed without limiting width. 📏

They are primarily used to create target zones for the front and/or rear paws. Because they are separate, you can freely adjust the distance between them, making them ideal for conformation stacking, posture improvement, and stretching exercises.

Balance Bars are also excellent for exercises that require parallel paw placement, as their narrow shape prevents the paws from staggering.🐾

Like all of our platforms, Balance Bars are stackable, meaning they can be placed on top of another platform to add a target zone or underneath to add elevation.

Do you use balance bars?

Standing Platforms are an essential addition to your conditioning routine. They provide a foundational target that restricts paw width without limiting length, helping promote proper posture and skeletal alignment during exercises.

Adding elevation by stacking or using our Modular Feet makes the platform a more distinct target, which can better communicate where your dog’s paws should be. 🐾

Angling the platform shifts your dog’s center of gravity, targeting specific muscle groups and/or reducing strain on sensitive joints. This allows you to utilize the standing platform for more advanced targeting exercises like sidestepping.

You can also place the platform on an unstable base, like our "teeter" setup, allowing you to introduce an unstable base with a stable surface.

How do you use your Standing Platform? Let us know! 👇

What's the difference between Precision Paw Targets and Paw Target Zones? 🤔

Precision Paw Targets are designed for single-paw accuracy and controlled placement. They are ideal for fine-tuning movements in precise exercises and building proprioceptive awareness in individual limbs.

Paw Target Zones match the width of Sit or Standing platforms and can, therefore, be stacked onto them for stable elevation. They provide a larger, more general target area, making them great for foundational work and progressive training as dogs advance from general to more precise placements.

What do you use your paw targets for?

Need help finding the right size for our Balance Bars & Paw Targets? We’ve got you covered! 👍

The easiest way to measure your dog’s paw is by creating a tracing. Start by having your dog stand on a piece of paper, ensuring their foot is firmly planted to avoid inaccurate measurements.

Next, trace the full outline of the paw, then measure the length and width at the widest points of the tracing. To ensure accuracy, repeat these measurements for each foot and take the largest measurements. 📐

As always, reach out to us with any questions.

If you are looking to build your own platforms, check out this guide by Sit Stay Squat for the rundown on how to get started!

Want to DIY but don't want to sacrifice grip and durability? 🤔

Check out our DIY Rubber kits! Our rubber is non-slip, gentle on the paws, and super durable.

A single platform is my most used piece of canine fitness equipment, and can be used for a large variety of canine fitness exercises. To get the most benefit, platforms should be sized to the individual dog. Learn more about platform sizing in this blog post!

Questions about sizing for our Sit & Stand Platforms?

We are here to help! 📏

To measure your dog's width, place them in the down position and measure the distance between the hocks. If your pup has the wiggles, you can also measure the distance between the upper thigh bones.

For measuring length, place your dog in the down position and measure the distance from the tip of the front paw to the back of the hock.

Repeat these measurements a few times to ensure they are accurate, and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us! 🤎
