It's important to use both stakes and tethers when you set up the course. See why in the video below.
But there is nothing special about stakes that ship with your kit. You may need wider or longer stakes if your ground is soft or more hardy stakes for harder ground. Use what works best for you - look for them locally or online. Try to find stakes that can be pushed flush with the ground. If they stick up out of the ground, take care that they don't become a hazard to you or your pup as they play.
For the tethers a loop of the line that ships with your kit is easy and works very well - with the added benefit of allowing you to make the tether as long as needed.
