"What is the difference between these obstacles and your other obstacles?"

With all our obstacles, there are two kinds: a "Practice" kind, and a "Competition" kind. The obstacles that are in this "Agility-in-A-Bag" set are slightly below the standards of the practice kind. The main difference is the thickness of the plastic pipe that is used...because the obstacles need to be carried around in a bag, the pipe we use is thinner and more lightweight. But don't be concerned...it is not so thin that it cracks easily! The pipe is still very sturdy and it would take some brute strength to break it.

The other difference is in the design of the obstacles. The changes are minimal, but constructed so that the minimum amount of pipe is used, yet sturdy enough to stand on their own. But because they are more lightweight, we suggest packing up your obstacles after each use. Not so much because of rain, as they can get wet, but the wind. This is not necessarily necessary with the practice kind, and definitely not with the competition obstacles (which are generally much heavier and sturdier).

The tunnel & chute is made of rip-stop nylon. The tunnel is 3' long, which is short, but most dogs don't have problems with the tunnel, and love it regardless of how long it is. It is a great size for using inside, and of course, more portable. You can use it alone, or add the 8' long chute to the back end of it to make it a "closed tunnel" obstacle. It has a 22" diameter. Competition tunnels are 24" diameter.

"What does it weight?"

18 lbs.

"How many obstacles are included?"

There are 6 "different" obstacles, but only 5 can be used at the same time. The tunnel can be used separately from the chute (which is called an "open" tunnel, because it is open on both ends), OR you can add the 8' long chute on to the back of it, and it will become a different obstacle called the "closed" tunnel, because the back end of it is "closed" to the dog.

"How easy is it to set up?"

Everything sets up in just a couple minutes. The obstacles simply pop together.

"Can the obstacles be used for any size dog?"

Yes, the can (except for some of the very large breeds, which can really only excel with competition-quality obstacles). The two jumps (tire jump and bar jump) are adjustable to any height. The 3' canvas tunnel has a 24" diameter which is the same as competition diameter. (the length of course is shorter). The weave poles are always spaced the same, no matter the size of the dog.
