Dog Agility Equipment

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 agility equipment for the first time?

A full dog agility course is wonderful to have, but it’s 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 don’t 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.
