Dog See Saw and A-Frame

January 19th 2010 19:27
You'll find that when training a dog to run an obstacle course, each dog will have his favorite obstacles, and a lot of dogs like the seesaw and A-frame. But, at the same time, it can be pretty scary once you're at the top. There's just no way down but down.

The seesaw can be hard to train because dogs just aren't used to wobbly and unstable surfaces. The ground doesn't move when your walking on it, so it can be awkward. Just take your time when training, and definitely have fun.

If your dog isn't having fun, then it's time to stop for a little while and take a break.

Agility courses are fun to watch, but many people just don't realize how much work really goes into training a dog to successfully run the course. It takes a lot of training. First, you've got to make sure the dog has all his basic obedience commands down pat, and then you've got to work on the obstacles.

Not everyone is cut out to train and run a dog agility course, but if you ever have the opportunity, it's something that I think everyone should try at least once. Dogs really do enjoy taking command and being able to run around. You can really see it in the eyes of a dog who runs agility, how much he loves it- waiting for the next cue and obstacle.


Agility See Saw/Royal Blue - 12' Long, 12" Wide
599.99- The See Saw comes in 3'L x 12"W sections that unfold into a 12' x 12" agility seesaw. The frame of the seesaw is made of aluminum which is lightweight, making set up and break down a little easier because you don't have to lug about heavy equipment pieces. The surface is has a grip on it, and there's a balance device that allows the see-saw to restore back into its place once the dog runs up and down it. You'll also find that the agility seesaw has friction controls to adjust the speed.


Dog Agility A-Frame /Royal Blue - 7' Long, 36" Wide
699.99- The A-Frame includes two 7 foot ramps that are 36 inches wide. The frame is aluminum, allowing for quick and easy set up and break down.
