Dog Agility Starter Set is a waste of money,
I thought that purchasing this kit would be an inexpensive way to start training my dogs in agility. However the tunnel is too short and lightweight, the jump is a joke for anything bigger than a maltese, and the weavepoles are nothing special. The rest is silly stuff, like red nylon to creat a “pause box” and red, white and blue ribbons to let kids run their own “Agility Show.”n So I really don’t use the kit at all.
There is no cheap way to start training your pet for agility. But you can save money by buying PVC piping to build a variety of jumps, by sawing off the bottom of an old plastic trashcan to create a short, but sturdy tunnel, and by using a flat wooden bench to create a table or “pause box.” The best way to start agility is to join a training club or class led by a knowledgeable instructor who has their own high quality equipment.

|It’s for FUN, not for serious use.,
I have a 45lb, 1-year-old Australian Shepherd and I wanted to see if she would be interested in agility before I invested more time and money into it, so this set seemed perfect. I also have a 65lb lab mix who likes to join in the fun.
THE PROS:
It is compact and stores easily when not in use, unlike professional agility equipment. It is simple to set up and easy to use. It’s fun – my dog took to it right away and we have a great time training and running around with it. It lets us practice some basic agility commands and showed me that my dog LOVES the idea of agility. Oh, and even my 65lb lab likes to take a run through the tunnel once in awhile.
THE CONS:
Well, you get what you pay for, right? One run through the tunnel, and there are little holes from my dogs nails everywhere on it (she’s 45lbs remember). The tunnel is quite short (compared to professional ones)and a very thin material, but other than the cosmetic damage from her nails, I think it will still hold up for use. None of the materials are very sturdy or strong, but I haven’t had any huge fall-throughs yet in the 5-6 times we’ve used it. The weave poles and the tunnel are the only two things I really like to use…sure, maybe if I had kids they could use the ribbons and such, but they aren’t of much use to me.
OVERALL: I’m happy with the purchase! I hoped it would be a little sturdier and challenging, but at least now I know that agility is something my dog and I can have fun doing seriously, so now we can look into purchasing/building some more intense obstacles and joining a club. If you’re looking to have some fun with your dog and not being too serious, then this is perfect! If you are looking to get this because you just bought a Border Collie and you want he/she to be an agility star, then I would recommend skipping this and heading straight to a training ring.

|Good Starting Place for Beginners,
I have done a lot of dog training but I have never trained in agility before and was looking to teach my dogs something new. I have enjoyed using the tunnel inside during the heat of the summer to train my dogs and give them an activity to do. Once they got the idea, they really enjoyed it. I am eager to try the other equipment outside now that the temperature has cooled. This product could have gotten a higher rating but the instruction manual was terrible. The teaching methods in the training manual go against a dog’s natural instinct. I would recommend buying a book or researching the proper way to train for agility than to rely on the instruction manual.
