This page will feature different things YOU can make to
have fun with your dog at home. Click on an item below for

Inexpensive Channel
Weaves
These weaves can be used indoors or out,
are very simple to assemble, and are great for training
dogs to weave. Total cost to make them from scratch is about
$20. Channel weaves help your dog get used to the concept
of weaving by driving through a "channel" of poles
rather than starting with weave poles in line. You can slowly
move them closer together as your dog progresses. The height
of these weave poles and spacing is what you will see in
official competition.

Agility Jumps
This plan describes how to make a set of
three jumps. The jump heights are adjustable so this plan
can be used for any breed of dog. When making your own jumps,
it's crucial that the bars be easily off set so that the
dog can't be tripped and injured. These jumps include bars
that rest on jump cups.
