The eStick is our pick for owners who want to give a dog a lick reward in their hand, in the moment. Load the textured surface with peanut butter, yogurt, wet food or a puree and offer it during a nail trim, a grooming session or a vet visit. It comes in four designs (beehive, ice cream cone, flower and waffle), is made from polypropylene and is listed for small, medium and large dogs.
Why we like it
- A hand-held design lets you control how long the reward lasts.
- Four designs let you choose a favorite and match a set.
- Dishwasher and freezer safe for easy reuse.
Keep in mind
A lick stick is a handler-controlled tool, not a toy to leave with your dog. Stay with your dog, use a spread that suits their diet and watch that they do not chew the stick. It does not replace gradual handling practice or professional help for a dog with strong fear.
Who it’s for
Dogs who need a distraction during grooming and handling, and owners who use hand-held rewards in training.

A reward you hold
Unlike a lick mat that sits on the floor, the eStick stays in your hand. That makes it useful during nail trims, brushing and exams, when you want a dog to stay engaged and still.
Use it for cooperative care
Load the stick with a high-value spread, present it at the start of the procedure and let your dog lick while you work. Pair it with gradual handling practice, and stop if your dog shows stress.
