  • Agility training and obstacles are great exercises (both mentally and physically) for your dog. However, the agility obstacles are expensive if you buy them on Amazon.
    So, why not build them yourself. For under $100 you can have four of the most common agility obstacles.
    In this video, I walk you through how I built them with just a quick trip to Home Depot and an afternoon in the backyard.

    I wish l could buy pvc pipe and joiners for $100. But when one lives on islands in the South Pacific, everything is expensive.
    However necessary is the mother of creativity so I seriously appreciate your video.
    I have a young Catahoula puppy who is super smart, super fast and super hyper. We don’t have farm animals on our life style block nor do we hunt, so l figure agility would be a great activity to give him a challenging exercise.
    For the weaving poles, l am using electric fence stalks wrapped with pool noodles so he doesn’t wack himself on the steel rods as he runs through. I have scored some old bike tyres from a cycles shop for the tyre jumps. Your video has been a big help.
    Thank you, will subscribe so l can follow your progress 👍

    👍👍 Very cool. I don't use glue either so once they get proficient on an obstacle you can take it apart & build other stuff. You can also use pool noodles & ¾" PVC to make soft jump poles & circles etc. Great fun ☺️ 🐾🐾

      The noodles are a great idea.

    I really appreciate you making this video! I've been looking into dog training clubs around me that offer agility and am realizing just how expensive it is! You making videos like this keeps agility open to more than just those that can afford to go to dog clubs. Thank you!

    So happy to have found your video. I built my first jump last year from TH-cam but your instructions are far better and I’m looking forward to making the teeter, the circle jump and a new ramp walk. I’m a volunteer puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence and it’s important to expose our pups in training to various obstacles and services. It’s a great confidence builder and the pups enjoy it! Thank you for clear instructions and excellent video! I’ll be following your other videos!

    Great video. So informative and just what I was looking for, for my 13 month old Australian Shepherd! She has so much energy and I have the yard space so this video is exactly what I was looking for so not to break the bank on an obstacle course for her! Who knows she might even be a show dog one day thanks to your brilliant diy ideas! Thank you so much for sharing your easy to understand building ideas! Cant Waite to get started building this for her! Oh and did you get any good tips on getting your dog started on this? if so, please share with us!

    This is great! I'm getting a German Shepherd which will be training to be a service animal, guard dog and these dogs need a lot of stimulation. An agility course is huge tool to help it burn off it's energy. So glad I found your video.

  • @bjsanders2345
    @bjsanders2345 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    People need to adjust these to their size of dog. Both length wise and width. Too small of a dog walk or seesaw for larger dogs are accidents waiting to happen. And I’d recommend putting down some kind of gripper tape to avoid slips.

    Amazing and in such a good budget! I will definitely be using this. I’m assuming this course would be suitable or an average sized female boxer dog?

    Thank you for posting this video. I am also interested training my Rottie in Agility Obstacles. I have two questions. First question how many 1'' Sch 40 PVC I need in total to build the ramp and tee-a-tar. The second question how many 3/4'' Sch 40 PVC I need in total to build the tire jump and weaving poles. thank you

    Great DIY. YOu said the planks were made with 1" x 8" board? But below I saw 1" x 6"Please confirm. Also I don't think I heard the length on the teeter totter board ? And what board were they 1x8 or 1x6?

    • @DogFocusTraining
      @DogFocusTraining  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can use either 1x6 or 1x8. The narrower boards will require a little extra concentration from your dog-which is a good thing but could require a little more practice before you get it down.

    For the planks and seesaw, what's the weight limit you think.

    • @DogFocusTraining
      @DogFocusTraining  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on the boards you choose. These pvc pieces should hold a 100lb dog with no problem

  • @RAYMONDCASILLAS

    How long was the board for the see saw? (Dimensions please) Thanks.

    • @DogFocusTraining
      @DogFocusTraining  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think we used 1”x6”x8’ on that one

  • @BobEisele

    • @DogFocusTraining

      I used 1x6” boards and they were 8’ long

  • @VirginiaSullivan-bf6tb

    Can these obstacles be made with larger/stronger pvc? My 50+ lbs Belgian sheepdog broke the teeter when he ran up on it.
