That was GREAT!!!! I also liked your choice of song. Very appropriate! Lucy is looking like a pro!! You are too!!!
Does the hoop in the picture below look familiar? I've gotten most of Dakota's agility equipment on E-bay. You can get different sets of equipment such as a hoop, a jump, and 6 weave poles or 2 jumps and 12 weave poles. There are all sorts of combinations.
I bought the purple tunnel (obviously second picture) new from E-bay. It's 18 (or 19 ) feet long, and I paid right over $100 for it. I also got Dakota's chute from E-bay for a great price.
I got some of the double, winged, and broad jumps from a seller at an agility trial. His prices were better than anyone's on E-bay. Plus there obviously were no shipping charges!
As far as the teeter goes, I had e-mailed a company that made adjustable steel teeter bases. It just so happened that the owners were coming to an agility trial in my hometown a few weeks later. So they brought a teeter base and board attachment with them. No shipping!!! Then we bought a board from Home Depot and painted and added sand to it. We also made the pause table (last picture).
Since we didn't want to spend lots of money to buy or lots of time to make an A-frame or a dogwalk, I instead bought a contact trainer to take the place of those obstacles. There are different types (and prices), but they all help with enforcing the contacts.
Oh, and I almost forgot the most important piece of equipment - running shoes! I bought those off E-bay as well!
