If you’ve been searching for an activity that both you and your dog will adore – why not dive into dog agility? Dog agility is the most popular dog sport in the world, and, even if you never compete, this sport offers many benefits for dogs and humans. At Carlson Agility, we can provide you with all of the dog agility supplies you need to get started, including the following.
Agility Jumps
On any given agility course, the majority of the obstacles will be jumps, so you really can never have enough dog agility jumps on your backyard course. Our selection includes a tire jump, which is found on most standard agility dog courses as well as dog agility single jumps, double jumps, triple jumps, panel jumps, fence wing jumps and helpful dog agility supplies such as color tape and wing sets.
We also have jumps suitable for the sport of dog obedience. If you are thinking about participating in obedience trials instead of agility, our dog obedience equipment includes bar jumps, broad jumps and training panel jumps. These obedience jumps are available individually or as part of a handy three-piece set.
Contact Equipment
Every dog agility course will include several pieces of contact equipment and we have all of these items at Carlson Agility. This includes a dog agility teeter totter, a dog agility A frame, an agility dog walk and, of course, a pause table. The teeters, a-frames and dog walks all are clearly marked with multiple colors to indicate the proper on and off points that the dogs must touch.
Weave Poles
Weave poles can be one of the most difficult dog obstacles to teach, and while we have several sets of quality agility weave poles, we also offer weave training guidewires and a training weave chute to make teaching this skill as easy as possible.
Mini Agility Equipment
Agility is truly a sport for all dogs, and this includes those tiny breeds! Our selection of dog agility equipment includes a plethora of mini-size obstacles for small and toy breeds. This includes a mini agility a-frame, mini dog walk, min jumps (including a mini tire jump), a mini teeter and a mini pause table. These items are ideal for small dogs as well as on-the-go training and indoor training on those days when it might be too hot or too rainy to enjoy your backyard obstacle course.
Dog Agility Kits
Not sure which items to purchase first? Opting for a dog agility set can be a great way to get started with this sport. We offer six unique dog agility starter kits and any of these could be a good option to consider. To find our kits, head to our homepage and under the Products tab, select the Agility Starter Kit section.
K9 Training Equipment
Our K9 training equipment is the same equipment used by organizations such as the North American Police Work Dog Association (NAPWDA) to train police and military dogs. Whether you are training dogs to assist law enforcement or simply looking for some backyard fun for your dog, our K9 obstacles are built tough to withstand frequent training sessions.
Our K9 agility equipment includes a K9 car door jump, broad jumps, a brick wall hurdle, a chain link hurdle, a picket fence hurdle, a dog crawl and several other unique items that can be used to train dogs for police work or to provide a unique source of exercise and fun.
Training Tools
In addition to our selection of full-size and miniature agility equipment, we also offer some handy training tools. This includes a buja board (AKA wobble board) and swing plank, and both of these items can help improve your dog’s balance and core strength.
Our dog perch can help increase rear-end awareness, strengthen core muscles and improve stability as well as improve focus and attention. The dog agility training ladder is another helpful tool that can improve balance and coordination. This ladder also can help with muscle strengthening and improve overall agility and speed through the repetitive practice of precise foot placement.
A Word About Quality
We know that there are places on the internet where cheap agility equipment can be found, and while this initially seems like a good value, there are some compelling reasons to invest in high-quality dog agility equipment.
The main reason we caution dog parents and handlers from purchasing cheaper items is safety. Our sturdy agility equipment is built with safety in mind, and poor-quality equipment can be very dangerous for your dog. For instance, a cheaply made teeter or dog walk can flip over and cause your dog to fall and that’s just one example.
Additionally, cheaply made equipment doesn’t stand the test of time. If you are going to invest in agility equipment, it’s best to purchase quality items from a reputable company such as Carlson Agility.
We know that dog agility supplies can be expensive, so we recommend that you take a couple of classes at a local agility center to gauge your dog’s interest and abilities. If this seems like a great fit, then you can start building your own collection of quality agility equipment.
