I've been wanting to try some agility work with Max and since there is nowhere local to even take him for training, I've decided to take it upon myself.
I went to Lowe's and bought a variety of 3/4" PVC Pipe and T and L connectors. I just copied a design from an image online and put it together. I had to cut 2 pieces to make it shorter and had everything made in about 15 minutes. I put it on the floor in the kitchen and Max ran right through the middle of it, dragging it into the living room. I then decided to use a black net (cut from an ex-pen that he ate the zipper off) and attached it to the pvc pipe. The orange X is just wrapping ribbon taped to the net and the top has 2 black electrical tape strips added for design.
I brought my agility jump outside on the lawn and here are 2 videos from yesterday. Max caught on immediately, while Cooper got a little frustrated and figured rolling over would get him the treat! The whole thing cost under $5. I'm going to build weaving poles as well as a few other jumps. I'm also going to search for a tube they can run through. Hopefully I'll have a full homemade backyard course soon
