Practice jumps?

Posted : 10/29/2010 4:59:25 PM

I'm looking for a portable set of practice jumps, for Bean. I would like the height to be adjustable (because she is not my only dog, and does compete in two separate sports, with separate jump heights), and lightweight. 4-5 feet is fine, for her, but because she is SO literal, and has been iffy about jumps (OMG IT MIGHT EAT ME!), I think 3 feet will be too small. I need a bar jump, a broad jump, AND a high jump.

Any suggestions? I've seen the J&J ones, in person, and they're nice. They're the only ones I have direct knowledge of. I've not found a lot, by Googling, but sometimes, these things can be evasive!

This place sells the same Practi-Jumps as J&J, but it might be worth it to watch for differences in prices:

Have you checked out Max 200 yet? http://www.max200.com/max_storefront/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=41

They sell wood and PVC, sets and individuals.

Thanks! I haven't seen the Max 200 ones. I wonder if their high jump is any easier to adjust than J&J's?

That I don't know.

Lani has a set of jumps that are really nice, but I don't know if they're from someplace other than J&J (or if she made them herself! lol) Will point her to this thread to ask.

Edit, I think she has these: http://www.clipandgoagility.com/ready-jump-dog-agility/index.htm, which means no broad jump or high jump.

Ohhh! Those are cool! I'm going to call Max 200 on Monday, about how their high jump works, and about the shipping cost. I'll decide, after that. I may end up making them.

Agile, those are really cool! I'll let you guys know what I get, and what I think of it, when it arrives.
