| Can
I clean off the ink print and labels on the pvc's? |
Absolutely! However it is an ardious
task and takes some time to wipe off.
What is the best cleaning chemical for the pvc's?
Acetone
Can I clean it in my home?
Well, the chemical or Acetone has strong fumes, and it is
recommended to clean in a well ventilated area. The
fumes have been reported to cause headaches, and dizziness
if not carefully handled. We use chemical gloves and
masks in our shop.

| Whats
the difference between cleaned and uncleaned PVC? |
For the uncleaned pvc's, we leave the
company labels, bar codes, black or red print, etc. as it
is on the pvc. Of course, we will wipe off the dirty
parts for you. Cleaning pvc is not easy.
There is no guarantee the ink will be completely wiped
off. Some ink print are emboddied deep inside the
pvc and it is nearly impossible to clean off even with the
finest chemical remover. The best way to remove
the ink is to sand it off, but that will leave rough
marks on the pvc. Cleaning pvc costs more because
the chemical is expensive and time consuming. If you
order cleaned pvc and noticed some prints, don't be dismayed
because your dog wont care about the looks!
Some ink on the uncleanded pvc is invisible on
some products such as teeter base, dogwalk stands, and pause
table. We assemble the inkside of the pvc facing
down or underneath so it looks as if its cleaned.

| Where
can I find out about Dog Agility Clubs and organizations? |
Dog agility trials are becoming more
and more popular the world over. They began in England,
as so many good things, do, but "agility fever"
quickly spread all over the globe. Now there are clubs and
events everywhere that there are dogs.
Some clubs include the Kennel Club (in the
U.K.), the United States Dog Agility Association (USDAA),
the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Agility Association
of Canada (AAC). However, you need not be affiliated with
or even live near a club or training facility to enjoy the
sport of dog agility. Here at Agility by Carlson, we make
the equipment you need to begin engaging in this sport at
home.
Dog Agility Clubs Are Everywhere!
Dogs are intelligent creatures, and they love a challenge.
As the aforementioned kennel clubs are well aware, every
breed has its own strengths and assets, both physically
and intellectually. It's great fun to explore what your
dog can do, and even train for competitions!
Even if you train your dog on your own dog
agility course, and don't wish to be affiliated with any
groups, it's still a good idea to stay in touch with them
via phone or e-mail to stay aware of any events that may
be happening in your area. Dog owners are a great group
of people, and love to share advice and success stories.
Dog agility events are also a great way to get outside and
meet and greet other great pets. Are you read to make

Dog Training Equipment should I buy first? |

obstacles, while still being affordable. Here at Agility
by Carlson, we are out to encourage love of the sport.

is something that can bring people and dogs together in
a spirit of excellence, and we interact with our customers
accordingly.
Some of the dog training equipment we

triple), chutes, barrels, and teeters. Everything you

Can
my dog do Agility? |
Agility events are ideal for dogs, who
embody a unique blend of physical stamina and balance,
as well as an intellectual capacity that continues to
astound spectators at dog agility trials. Dog agility
events really became popular in the early 1980s, and the
movement is still going strong. What makes this sport
so easy to engage in is the fact that you can build your
own course right in your own backyard or local field.
Some dogs, especially the working breeds,
excel at agility events. It's amazing what a Border Collie
or Australian Shepherd can do with weave poles and teeters,
and some dogs can simply fly over triple jumps without
breaking a sweat. However, agility training also tests
the handler, owner, or trainer; you must work closely
and confidently with your dog to create a winning team.
Dog Agility Is Growing in Popularity
At Agility by Carlson, we see dogs of all shapes, sizes,
and breeds (including mixed breeds) come into their own
when presented with a bit of agility training. This really
is the best way to keep you and your dog fit, physically
and mentally. The experience of being out of doors, working
with "Prince," "Rover," or "Rex"
is rewarding, and lets you experience the immense capacity
that dogs have for fun and challenge.
If you have a small back yard, you can
make the most of your space with teeters and weave poles,
which allow the dog to have a challenging course in just
a few cubic meters. For those of you with larger spaces,
jumps are fun, and really help the dog feel the spirit
of success as he or she flies over single, double, and
triple jumps (with delicious treats waiting in your pocket
on the other side, naturally!). It isn't necessary to
have a half-acre or even a lot of money to enjoy this
sport; you simply need a bit of space and a starter kit,
and you are ready to go. "5....4....3....2....1.....Contact!"

Can
I get some Dog Training tips when I purchase equipment? |
Some people hear the phrase "dog
training," and envision hours of tedium, instructing
a canine to "sit!" and "stay!" However,
here at Agility by Carlson, we have a very different view
of the process. We make all of the equipment that dog
owners need to create smart, fun dog agility courses,
so that you can get on the road to agility competition.
Dog training can be a blast, for both
dog and owner. Forget traditional commands, and think
instead of training a competition-fit dog, one that can
leap high jumps in a single bound, and can negotiate teeter-totters
without batting an eyelash. This is the new era of dog
training, and it's a world away from "boring!"
A New Era of Dog Training
Kennels, clubs, breeders, and trainers the world over
are wildly enthusiastic about dog agility events. What
better way to both showcase a breed and the talents of
individual dogs? We all know that our pets are capable
of feeling, thinking, and acting like champs, and now
we can prove it.
At Agility by Carlson, we sell durable,
affordable, and great-looking dog agility equipment. As
soon as your order comes in, we get right to work to craft
you jumps and other obstacles that will keep you and your
dog happy for years to come. Your dog will look and feel
younger, livelier, and happier as he or she has a "playground
of dreams!" Browse our website, help is on
