    Pictures of your Agility set up?

     I know some of you do agility and i was wondering if you had your own set up at home.

    i'm thinking more seriously of building my own agility equipment and i KNOW i can go look online for the guides, but i really just want to see how you guys have it set up lol

    did you go all out or did you just build a couple of things and do the majority of work elsewhere?

     would like to see some also. I'm planning on making stuff for zoey outta PVC, been doing research on it. I think she'd do great at agility, even if we only do it at home. she has that natural ability where she wants to jump on things. the other night my BF was kneeling down making a fire in the fireplace, zoe blasted in & jumped from the ground onto his shoulder and balanced there. LOL

     lol that would have been fun to see :D

    my kids have this tent thing my mom bought for them last year... the tent part is junk but it came with these four tubes like you see on agility courses. Tori is obsessed with them. when she's playing she'll run inside there and hide from the other dogs or kids, or she'll just go in there to sleep.  and lately i've been working with her on jumping up on certain things and sit/stay to earn a reward. Sparta can only manage to get half of himself on the chair when we do this lol he's willing, but..... i guess i need bigger chairs lol

     You could say I went all out.  ;)

     

    I built the set slowly over time and also started a club to help buy the stuff we needed.  Right now, the aframe in the pic has been replaced by a new one that is not bowed.  The dog walk has been replaced by an aluminum one with rubber coating, the teeter as well.  We have 2 tunnels, an adjustable table and the only jump that was purchased was an aluminum triple jump, everything else was made by me except for the weave poles.

     thanks! i know there are websites you can go to to buy some of that.. what material did you build the A frame out of? the tube as well, is it recycled material or did you buy it from someone who specializes in agility equipment?

     The tunnel and Aframe were purchased.  I made the tire jump, the dogwalk and all the jumps.  In that pic are also homemade weave poles.  I have instructions for making stuff out of PVC, I can send it to you if you PM me your email.
