Agility Jumps and Hurdles for Big Dogs
January 27th 2010 20:39
When it comes to watching small or medium-large dogs in an agility competition, I'd much rather watch the larger dogs. The larger dogs seem to have more of a challenge with the jumps and hurdles because they are set pretty high, of course all adjusted to the height of the dog.
The main hurdles that you'll find include the single bar jump, double bar, triple bar, and the panel jump. These can be purchased for practice at home. But, you'll also find water hurdles in the ground and other hurdles that the dog may have to jump over; but you can't really purchase a hole in the ground filled with water.
The below agility equipment are sized for medium to large dogs according to the AKC and USDAA standards. The equipment is made of a rust resistance metal and is easy to break apart. Each obstacle comes with its own carrying case so that you're not toting around several poles and bars.
You can purchase the obstacles in different colors, but for the most part red and white is the general standard.
Agility Single Bar Hurdle For Large Dogs/Red and White
119.99- The height of the large dog single bar jump adjusts from 4 inches to 36 inches, and it has an overall height of 48 inches. The basic design is pretty simple. It's made of a rust resistance metal frame for outdoor use, but you can use the jump inside as well.
Agility Double Parallel Bar Hurdle For Large Dogs/Red and White
149.99- The double bar jump includes two bars that the dog must clear without knocking over or touching. The bars adjust from 4 to 24 inches for larger dogs.
Agility Triple Parallel Bar Hurdle For Large Dogs/Red and White
169.99- The triple bar has three bars that the dog must clear without touching, making it a little harder. The bars adjust from 4 to 24 inches high, according to the dog's height.
Agility Panel Jump For Large Dogs/Red and White
139.99- The panel jumps are pretty simple and very similar to the single bar jump in terms of ease of clearing. The panels are set at 2 inch increments, and adjust from 4 to 24 inches for larger dogs, which are the AKC and USDAA standards.
Dog Agility Tire Jump
89.99- Like he other jumps, the tire jump is foldable. It's made of PVC coated metal and includes a carrying case for easy portability. You'll receive two tires with two different apertures- a 20 inch and a 22 inch. The tire jump doesn't come in big and small dog versions, because it is fully adjustable so that you can adjust the height of the tire for the height of the dog.
