If anybody could tell me how to make agility equipment for my dog, it would be great. I have checked a million website and havent found anything decent. And the cheaper it costs the better!
Thanks! xx

To get my rat terrier started, I bought a cheap kit at mounds and it came with a 4 foot tunnel (so I really need a bigger one), some tape for a pause box (I’d prefer a real one, not a stupid tape that comes undone all the time), a jump which looks pathetic and the bars fall down if the wind hits it (ddefiantly need a new one), and weave poles, but I would like to get that last.
Lily is starting to get really good with this cheap stuff and knows tunnel and almost jump (we’ve been doing it in a week). My aunt is a trainer so she has been helping me, however she has no spare stuff, and she told me to not take classes, there’s a long story that goes to that…..
I would like to know which obstacle to buy first. My aunt gave me a website so I’m going to get stuff from that. Which obstacle out of these should I start with:
tunnel
pause box *
a frame *
teeter *
dog walk *
chute
bar jump
tire jump
weave poles
I preferably do not want to start with the ones I put a star by.
Any ideas on which to start with? Which do you think is the easiest? Lily has a very strong body and is 3.
my aunt lives 45 minutes a way and we hardly ever see her. She alsohas a broken leg and toe and a bad leg and they don’t think she can do agility anymore, we still talk on the phone and she thinks it is miraclulous how far she’s gotten in a week, she is a very reputable trainer, and all the other classes within a 100 miles, have a very low reputation or my aunt knows and can only list bad things about them. I have attended all of them to see how it went all of the trainers except my aunt didn’t care about the dogs having fun, and even a few I saw suggested kicking the dog if they didn’t cooporate! And if the owner didn’t do it, they would!

I am starting to build my dog’s equipment and I need to know how high the jumps are in shows, ans well as dimensions of the other equipment. Does anyone know where to find that type of info?

I am running a fundraiser for 4-H kids. We are working on setting up an agility course for the dog program. I have already made the jumps but I want to buy the contact equipment and tunnels. I am looking for inexpensive, yet well-made equipment. Any ideas?
