The Schweikert Reed Stick is an 80 cm cane, the classic reed stick for dog training helpers, made from bamboo cane about 8 mm thick.
Cane is light and flexible, so the helper can carry and use the stick naturally while working on the dog's confidence under stick pressure. The 80 cm length gives good reach while keeping control.

Use it in IGP and protection helper work, for stick introduction and building confidence in young dogs.
How trainers use it
Helpers usually introduce a stick slowly. At first it is simply carried and moved near a dog that is gripping well, so the dog learns that the stick is part of the picture. The sound and movement are then made a little more obvious as the dog stays steady. Light contact, where it is used at all, comes much later, only on the back or shoulders and only from an experienced helper. Good helpers watch the dog closely and step back if its grip or confidence drops.
