Welcome to the world of Dog Agility! You have come to the right place.
Dog Agility is a fun team sport that you and your dog can enjoy together.
Using dog agility equipment combines advanced off-leash obedience and obstacle familiarization.
To help you browse through our site, we have 9 main categories of dog agility equipment:
*** Our equipment was featured on a popular TV show Blue Bloods (episode 9), November 2013!***
Can’t decide what agility equipment you want or need for your dog? No WORRIES! That is the ULTIMATE reason we are here to help. A full dog agility course is wonderful to have, but it’s not necessary to begin your home training. First, think of your backyard size and what it can hold. You may want to get an 8 foot Dog-walk instead of a standard 12 foot. You may consider 4 single jumps instead of 1 single and a triple jump. Our dog agility jumps are made so that you can twist off two of the bottom legs and place two or three agility jumps close together to practice that triple jump.
Second, when considering the dog agility equipment you want to purchase, consider the size and speed of your dog. We use 3/4′ PVC or 1′ PVC for most agility jumps or weave poles. If your dog is small and light weight, 3/4′ will suffice and you can spread your budget further.
You can never have enough dog agility equipment or jumps. My wife has 20 agility jumps on her course, and still wants more. If space allows, setup a jump chute using 8 jumps. Leave them in place, separate from your course training, and practice a few minutes a day. You can practice straight line exercises, angled jumps, box drills, or circular drills. Or try adding a tire jump to your pinwheel excercise.
Or is it time to make your big Contact purchase? Select one Contact equipment obstacle that will fit into your space. If you live close enough to us you can come pick it up. If you don’t live close enough for a pickup, we also make hardware kits, jump cups, and weave spikes to help you get started building your own dog agility equipment.
We can help here also! We run a full boarding and doggie day care that uses our agility equipment for dogs to exercise and play on. We can recommend what would work best for your facility or backyard. Just email us

Nose work for dogs is an exciting new sport for you and your dog. Whether you attend Nose work classes or learn on your own, dogs will amaze you with their Nose work capabilities. Your dog also has the skill to use his nose to work and find just about anything you can hide. However, even with great nose work abilities dogs still need to be trained and guided to search and find what you want.
Nose work utilizes the dog’s natural desire to search, locate, and find food. While the dog is using his nose he is also stimulating his mind, getting exercise, and the bond between handler and dog develop.
Join the fun that Nose work can offer you and your dog.

Obstacles are categorized into jumps, contacts, and weaves. It would be ideal if everyone could have a full training course in their backyard. Unfortunately, the ideal can’t always be achieved due to lack of space or money. So, if you are just starting in agility what do you buy first? We want to offer you some ideas for a starter kit. You can purchase the actual group as shown in the picture, or choose several options for your order. Just browse through our website to give you some ideas, or just pick one of the agility starter kits. We will be more than happy to help out with the details.
We would be happy to offer our professional and experienced insight. As a family, we have been training dogs for over 30 years in obedience, field work, pet manners, and agility for the past 10 years. Just email us
