Make an easy stick in the ground garden jump
This jump is really easy to make and it's light enough to take to shows.  You can also use it in the garden and it hardly takes any room to store.

Make a Garden Dogwalk
It isn't quite finished yet as there's a lot of painting to do, but this 28 inch high dogwalk is ideal for gardens.

A tyre jump that conforms to the new regs
We had to find something that would conform to the new Kennel Club regulations on the tyre jump.  Here's how I made our new jump.

Easy Garden Jump
This is probably going to be the easiest garden jump you'll ever make.  The good news is you don't need any carpentry skills.  The even better news is that the jump is very cheap to make.

Here's a simple V-weave to make with plastic pipe.  You don't need any carpentry skills for this.

Make a weave
This six pole weave will stand alone anywhere.  You have to spend a bit to make it but the best things in life don't always come for free.

Make a channel weave
The channel weave and spacers were easy to make from bits found in the garden shed.  I've included a couple of video clips from Youtube to show how they're used.

 Making Cavaletti For Dogs
These little jumps are ideal for dogs that are just beginning agility or need to get their fitness back.

Specifications
If you want to build your own equipment or you're just curious, here's some dimensions for jumps, an A-frame and the tyre.

The Mini Dogwalk
You don't need a full size jobbie to practise your contacts.  The mini dogwalk looks a bit odd but it's very stable and it cost me very little to make.

Make a tyre jump
Jamie had only practiced through a lollypop tyre and that was no good in the ring, so we made our own lollyframe style version.  This is the old style tyre and is no longer suitable under the new regs.  It's here for interest only.
