Are you new to dog agility?
Dog Agility is a fun team sport that you and
your dog can enjoy together. Using dog agility equipment combines advanced off-leash
obedience and obstacle familiarization. To help you browse through our site,
we have 9 main categories of dog agility equipment:
Are you purchasing dog agility equipment
for the first time?
A full dog agility course is wonderful to have,
but its not necessary to begin your home training. First, think of your
backyard size and what it can hold. You may want to get an 8 foot Dog-walk
instead of a standard 12 foot. You may consider 4 single jumps instead of 1
single and a triple jump. Our agility
jumps are made so that you can twist off two of the bottom legs and
place two or three agility jumps close together to practice that triple jump.
Second, when considering the dog agility equipment
you want to purchase, consider the size and speed of your
dog. We use 3/4 PVC
or 1 PVC
for most agility jumps or weave
poles. If your dog is small and light weight, 3/4 will suffice and
you can spread your budget further.
Are you adding to your agility course
at home or club?
You can never have enough dog agility equipment
or jumps. My wife has 20 agility jumps on her course, and still wants more.
If space allows, setup a jump chute using 8 jumps. Leave them in place, separate
from your course training, and practice a few minutes a day. You can practice
straight line exercises, angled jumps, box drills, or circular drills. Or try
adding a tire
jump to your pinwheel excercise.
Or is it time to make your big Contact purchase?
Select one Contact
equipment obstacle that will fit into your space. If you live close
enough to us you can come pick it up. If you dont live close enough for a pickup,
we also make hardware kits, jump
cups, and weave
spikes to help you get started building your own dog agility obstacles.
