Non-Slip Settle Mat: Grip backing
Non-Slip Settle Mat: The Grip-Backed Training Tool
Does your dog slide when the surface underneath isn't solid? The Non-Slip Settle Mat pairs the same recycled ECOPAK™ top your dog already knows with a grip-backed base built to grip. On a boat deck, a paddleboard, a car seat, or a slick training floor, this mat stays put instead of sliding out from under a sit or a stay. Need help on training?

Non-Slip Grip Backing
Handcrafted in USA
33% Recycled Materials
Built to Stay Put, Wherever "Place" Needs to Hold
The Non-Slip Settle Mat is for the surfaces where a regular mat slides, floats away, or bunches up under a dog that's working. Same settle cue, same mat, a base that grips.
Boats, Canoes & Paddleboards
A grip bottom that holds its position on a wet, moving deck, so your dog has a defined spot even when the surface underneath isn't. Channel stitching keeps the top layer flat on an incline instead of bunching up.
Car Seats & Trunks
Stays in place under braking and turns instead of sliding across the seat or cargo area, so the "place" cue holds for the whole drive.
Agility & Target Training
A stable base for stationing and target work on gym floors, mats, and other slick training surfaces where footing matters as much as the cue.
Indoor Training on Hard Floors
Tile, hardwood, and laminate don't hold a standard mat in place once a dog shifts their weight. This one stays where you put it.
Service Dog & Public Access Training
A consistent, stable place command for handlers working duration and distraction proofing on whatever flooring a public space happens to have.
- Place/settle cue practice during public access test prep
- A stable base for task work breaks in waiting rooms, exam rooms, and appointments
- Consistent footing for SDIT (service dog in training) handlers building duration
