Does anyone here do Agility with their dog? Sadie and I do it, and we love it! (We don't compete, though)! If you do do Agility with your dog, what Agility equiptment do you have? Post a picture, if you have one! Thank you!

I do agility with Iris! We love it, too except we compete. I have the Dog Walk, Teeter, Jumps, Tire, weave poles, broad jump, panel jump, table and I think that's it. I don't have the A-Frame though.

Go HERE (http://community.webshots.com/album/18815694sKyshKgMGt) to see Iris doing all sorts of agility stuff.

Iris is so beautiful, and what a good dog she is! Those are great pictures.

Daisy doesn't do agility, but last week for fun, I was having her leap through a hula hoop. For a short, stubby little Basset Hound, she did a great job. I was impressed :)

A panel jump is the one that you see in obedience trials with the white boards. Have you ever seen it? I'll post a picture of Iris doing the panel jump tomorrow.

And about how I take pictures of Iris doing agility, you have to take LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of pictures to get a good one!

ShepherdLover, where did you get all of your Agility Equipment?? If you got it all from a catalog, which one? Did you order it online, what site? Or, if you got instructions from a website on how to build all of it, what site did you go to? And, last one, I promise!! Do you know any sites that sell Equipment, or have instructions on how to build it? Thanks! :)

We actually got the dimesions from the people that have the agility classes and have all of the obstacles. If you go to J&J dog supplies (http://www.jandjdog.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=jj&Category_Code=AGI) they have agility obstacles for sale.

If you subscribe to Clean Run Magazine (http://www.cleanrun.com) I think they have demensions.

Buying agility equipment is extremely expensive!!! My dad made ours, it cost $250 to make 1 tire, 3 bar jumps, 1 dog walk, 1 teeter, 1 table, and weave poles. Add another $50 for a broad jump and panel jump we bought at a garage sale. We just looked at pictures, estimated how much PVC pipe & fittings we needed and went shopping.
