The Corkscrew Dog Tether is the simple, effective solution for securing your dog outdoors without a fixed anchor point. The spiral stake screws firmly into soft ground — lawn, campsite, field — and the swivel attachment point prevents the tether cable or chain from wrapping around the stake as your dog moves. Compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, it's the kind of kit that earns its place in the car permanently.
- Spiral corkscrew design — screws securely into soft ground; more stable than a straight spike under lateral load
- Anti-tangle swivel attachment — prevents the tether cable or chain wrapping around the stake as the dog moves
- Compact and lightweight — easy to carry in a kit bag, car boot, or rucksack
- Versatile — ideal for camping, gardens, picnics, shoot days, and any outdoor situation where a fixed anchor isn't available
- Compatible with standard tether cables and chains — use with your existing equipment
Suitable for soft ground — not for use in hard, dry, or stony ground. Always supervise tethered dogs.
The Corkscrew Dog Tether is a spiral ground stake that screws into soft ground to provide a secure outdoor tether point for dogs. The swivel attachment prevents the tether cable or chain from tangling as the dog moves. Compact and lightweight for easy transport. Compatible with standard tether cables and chains. £5.20 (was £6.50). Suitable for soft ground only.
Why We Recommend It
The corkscrew tether solves the same problem as the folding spike tether — no fixed anchor point, dog needs to be secured — but with a spiral mechanism that's more stable under the lateral pull of a dog that moves around. The swivel attachment is the detail that matters most in practice: without it, a dog that circles the stake will wrap the cable tighter and tighter until they're immobilised. With it, they can move freely without tangling. At £5.20 it's one of the most affordable pieces of kit in the range.

Bailey Says 🐾
My friends, I have conducted extensive field testing of this tether across multiple campsites, shoot days, and garden situations. My findings are as follows: it goes into the ground reliably, it stays there when I investigate the perimeter of my permitted radius, and — crucially — the swivel means I do not end up in an undignified spiral situation when I have been circling. I have seen other dogs without the swivel. It is not a good look. The corkscrew tether is sensible, practical, and allows me to maintain my dignity while Craig does whatever it is Craig does when I am tethered. I endorse it. 🐾

Professional Insight
Training Academy Tip 💡
Gundog Training Academy Tip
A tethered dog is a dog that's learning to settle and wait — one of the most valuable gundog skills and one that's often overlooked in formal training. Use the corkscrew tether deliberately as a training tool, not just a management convenience.
Introduce the tether at home first in a low-distraction environment. Attach your dog, reward calm behaviour, and build duration gradually. A dog that accepts the tether calmly at home will accept it calmly at a shoot day or training session — a dog that's never been tethered before and is suddenly expected to sit quietly while other dogs work is being set up to fail.
On shoot days, position the tether so your dog can see you but is far enough from the action to stay calm. Every minute on the tether is a minute of impulse control practice — and a dog that can watch other dogs working without barking or lunging is a dog that's developing the steadiness that defines a good gundog.

FAQs
Will it hold a large dog?
The corkscrew tether is designed for supervised use with dogs of all sizes in soft ground. For large or powerful dogs, ensure the spiral is fully buried and the ground is firm enough to hold under lateral load. Always use with a tether cable or chain rated for your dog's size and strength.
Does it work in hard ground?
No — the corkscrew tether is designed for soft ground such as lawn, grass, and soil. In hard, dry, or stony ground it will not screw in fully and will not provide secure anchoring.
What cable or chain do I need?
The tether is compatible with any standard tether cable or chain that clips to a ring. It does not come with a cable — use your existing equipment or purchase a tether cable separately.
Why is the swivel important?
Without a swivel, a dog that circles the stake will progressively wrap the cable tighter until they're immobilised close to the stake. The swivel allows the attachment point to rotate freely as the dog moves, preventing tangling and allowing the dog to move naturally within their tether radius.
