A dog walking and training area becomes a real training ground once it has an obstacle course. In this category you will find agility equipment that develops a dog's physical fitness, obedience and self-confidence, and helps owners build a better bond with their pet.
Municipal dog parks, kennel clubs, dog hotels and training schools. Plan the area so that there is enough space between the equipment for dogs to build up speed and land safely.
For a full course, combine jump obstacles, balance elements such as a dog walk or seesaw, and agility elements – a slalom and a tunnel. For a small park, a few versatile obstacles are enough, and more can be added later. By the gate, an information board with rules and a dog tie-up post come in handy.
Many agility items are designed for S, M and L category dogs according to the FCI – this is stated in each product description. The height of some obstacles is adjustable, while some elements are intended only for smaller dogs. If many large dogs will use the park, pay attention to this data.
The agility equipment is made of HDPE plastic with an anti-graffiti coating, and the dog contact zones are covered with a non-slip rubber coating. Metal parts are hot-dip galvanised steel and the bolts are stainless steel. These materials withstand moisture and are easy to clean.
On paving blocks or concrete, the post is fixed with anchors, while on grass or gravel it is more reliable to set it in concrete. A firmly fixed post will not tip over even when a dog pulls hard on the lead. The fixing method is stated in the product's technical data.
Place the post near the entrance of a shop, café or public building, but not in the walkway, so the dog does not get in the way of passers-by. If possible, choose a shaded spot. In summer, a model with a water bowl is very handy.
Leave enough space between the equipment for the dog to build up speed and land safely. The slalom and jump ramp need a straight, level run with free space in front of the first element. For a beginner dog, set height-adjustable obstacles to the lowest position at first.
