5' Dog Agility A-Frame, Aluminum with Rubber Surface

Product Information

Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy.

It’s not unwieldy or difficult to break down, either, and comes apart into four pieces that are easy to fit in the car or other spaces that can’t accommodate the full length of the main plank. There are plenty of ways you can use agility training to help your dog thrive , well beyond the course.Contact obstacles are obstacles made of planks and ramps, they require dogs to ascend and descend the obstacle and to place a paw on a "contact zone", an area that is painted a different colour. Most champion titles have "CH" in the title: NATCH (NADAC Agility Trial Champion), ADCH (Agility Dog Champion for USDAA), CATCH (CPE Agility Trial Champion), MACH (Master Agility Champion for AKC), TACH (Teacup Agility Champion), ATCH (ASCA Agility Trial Champion) and so on.

The handler tends to run a path much different from the dog's path, so the handler can sometimes spend quite a bit of time planning for what is usually a quick run. Your dog will be in heaven, and you’ll develop an unspoken language between you that, while it may not fulfill the dream of them speaking English, makes all the other parts of your life together more magical. Some organizations require or encourage computerized scorekeeping, while others require certain types of manual score sheets to be filled out. This kit is customizable to challenge your dog in a variety of ways, incorporating two bar jumps, a tire jump, six fixed-base weave poles, two tunnels, and a pause box. In competition, the handler must assess the course, decide on handling strategies, and direct the dog through the course, with precision and speed equally important.Although each organization has its own rules, all divide dogs into smaller groups that are close to each other in size and experience for purposes of calculating winners and qualifying scores. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

As a note, if you're thinking about doing dog agility, please get professional training at least to begin with. If your dog is moving really fast through a tunnel, it can spin around and hit the stakes you’ve got it staked down in.We offer a variety of A-Frames, including an 8-foot A-Frame, a 9-foot A-Frame, and a mini training A-Frame.

The dog walk is a raised, narrow plank that the dog must cross as quickly as possible without sacrificing safety or missing the contact zone on the exit ramp.There are DIY kits and plans, but Adams cautions that making your own obstacles could prove dangerous for your dog. Megan has an amazing eye and ability to communicate individual tweaks and isn't afraid to say that isn't working for your dog let's try something else.
