An innovative practice set that easily packs into a carrying bag! Even if you already have full-sized equipment to practice on, it is wonderful to have this portable set for travel, demonstrations, and inside use!
The Agility-in-a-Bag Set weighs only 18 lbs in the bag, and is made of furniture-grade, UV-stabilized plastic, and the tunnel & chute is made with ripstop nylon. It features some of the most popular obstacles, including:
6-pole weave set - with it's own free-standing base. Unit pops together, and the poles can be slanted for training the popular "weave-a-matic" method.
Adjustable jump - with a displaceable bar (for safety) that adjusts to any height by sliding the 2 jump cups up and down on the side bars.
Adjustable Tire jump - 24" diameter hoop that slides up and down on the side bars.
Pause box - Great training aid and substitute for the pause table. Dog must stop and either sit or lay down for a 5 second count.
Tunnel & Chute - 3' tunnel with 22" diameter and attachable 8' chute. Use the tunnel by itself, or attach the chute for extra challenge. Color is subject to availability only.
Carrying Bag - sturdy canvas-like material with wide strap. (bag is blue and yellow as shown, and has a pocket on the outside).
Instruction Manual, that includes pictures and training tips for each obstacle.
What is the difference between these obstacles and the practice obstacles we sell? The obstacles that are in this "Agility-in-A-Bag" set are slightly below the standards of the practice kind. The main difference is the thickness of the plastic pipe that is used...because the obstacles need to be carried around in a bag, the pipe we use is thinner and more lightweight. But don't be concerned...it is not so thin that it cracks easily! The pipe is still very sturdy and it would take some brute strength to break it.
The other difference is in the design of the obstacles. The changes are minimal, but constructed so that the minimum amount of pipe is used, yet sturdy enough to stand on their own. But because they are more lightweight, we suggest packing up your obstacles after each use. Not so much because of rain, as they can get wet, but the wind. This is not necessarily necessary with the practice kind, and definitely not with the competition obstacles (which are generally much heavier and sturdier).
The tunnel & chute is made of rip-stop nylon. The tunnel is 3' long, which is short, but most dogs don't have problems with the tunnel, and love it regardless of how long it is. It is a great size for using inside, and of course, more portable.
