Better Sporting Dogs Agility Course Backyard Set - 7pc Indoor and Outdoor Agility Training Equipment for Dogs - 3 Jumps - 2 Tunnels with Sandbags - Weave Poles for Dog Obstacle Training

Our one pup had been thru tunnels we had previously so she took to everything in the kit. Our newly adopted dog had no idea what to do but between watching our other girl and some treats he was doing the tunnels in a matter of a few minutes. Let me pass some info on. I see complaints that one of the tunnel is broken down and doesn't stand up etc etc etc so they give this kit a bad review. Please read what you are getting. there is one long tunnel....regular tunnel. The other tunnel is called a blind tunnel by some. It does SAG at one end and that is what it is supposed to do!!!! The is part of what dogs have to do during agility training! For our new fella (with the green bone) he watched our Sasha and was curious but did not go all the way through the blind tunnel. So (as we had taught Sasha previously) once he would do the regular tunnel and took the blind tunnel and knelt down by the floppy side and opened it so he could see me from the other end. Once he saw me and came through once while i kept the floppy part from falling down he came through next time on his own. THe third time I let the floppy part "flop" and he came through like a champ. Just be patient and teach your pup what to do. Agility training takes some time to teach them. the other parts are just fine... Chewie would try and go around the jump (which i held in my hand at first to keep it low) and after seeing a little treat on the other side he never looked back. Love treat patience....the keys. Have fun with this!! You could also perhaps see some videos of agility training to help you help your dog.

Portable, light and easy to carry. Not exactly the toughest but for the price it works great! My dogs are small with the biggest only 28 lbs. My 17lb Jack Russell took right too it, of course she loves doing anything with her Daddy. I like how the jump poles can be just set on it so they fall off easy for the beginner... don't want them to trip and get scared but then can be snapped in place once they are more confident. I'm not sure how long this would last with big dogs but for the easy of setup and portability even if you only get one summer it is a good value....with my little dogs I'm sure they will get a lot of play out of it.

This set is so easy to setup and use, it is awesome. I keep the weave poles and jumps set up all the time and can move them inside in the winter for more fun. Lightweight but sturdy. I have had this over a year now and it is still perfect. I move the tunnel by collapsing it when we are getting a lot of rain and store in the shed. So easy with the storage bags. My dog is now getting ahead of his other agility competitors. A lot of fun.

We weren't expecting much given the price and some negative reviews but we are pleasantly surprised. Our 2 collies have been training at the startup level for maybe 10 sessions original so and after 2 tried they did as well as usual. They even went through the closed end tunnel for the first time without hesitating. The PVC was cut cleanly and all the parts fit together nicely. Even the directions were in English ( as opposed to asianish) with pictures which made the assembly quite clear. And the sand bags were excellent as well. The only jump we have trouble with is the hoop. It's too light and even though the dogs get through, it falls over every time, hence the 4 stared. I would recommend this set for a backyard practice rig, but watch some YouTube videos if you and your dog are newbees.

Its not built for heavy duty use or large dogs (60lbs and under!) But for someone who wants to train their dog in their backyard how to play the basics of agility, this is perfect. Its easy to assemble and very lightweight and portable. I wish they had color coded each individual thing and its pieces, but colored tape is what we used!
