How to Build Your Own Dog Stick Library

A Dog Stick Library is a stick dispenser for dogs. Sticks hang on pegs, and your dog walks up and pulls one off all by themselves. Think Little Free Library, but for sticks.

The free Barkshop DIY Club tutorial walks you through building your own, one step at a time. Here's what it will cover.

  1. Materials and tools

    Everything you'll need from the hardware store, plus the tools we use, so you can get it all in one trip.

  2. Cutting and assembling the frame

    How to cut each piece and put your Dog Stick Library together, step by step.

  3. Placing the pegs

    Where to put the pegs so dogs can grab a stick on their own.

  4. Sanding and weatherproofing

    How to smooth every edge and finish the wood so it holds up outdoors.

  5. Adding the lettering

    How to paint the Dog Stick Library lettering, freehand or with a stencil.

  6. Setting it up in your yard
