Outward Hound Zip & Zoom Indoor Dog Agility Training Kit for Dogs

My dog got diagnosed with a neurological condition. I was told by the specialists to purchase specific equipment to get him to build strength, muscle, and balance so he could walk again and have normal range of motion. Let me tell you, I got different equipment but this set was great for something quick and easy until the pro equipment could get here. Well I still continued to also use this course because my dog loves it so much. This helped my dog in every which way. He has been walking again for 3 weeks now and he continues to do exercises every day as much as he can and it has worked wonders for him. He is improving every single day. His sense of perception is almost back to normal!! The neurology team was shocked when they saw how well he was doing yesterday!! My dog LOVES this course and looks forward to it every day because now he can fully complete it. It’s not the most durable if you have a bigger dog but if you don’t mind having to reset some things here and there it’s definitely worth the price.

This light weight kit took 2 minutes to assemble the first time. It consists of thick straw like poles and plastic stands. The crossbar for the jump just rests in the holder. The pieces do get knocked over easily, but because they are so light, the furniture is not damaged. The tube is huge and difficult to recoil. I think a St. Bernard could almost fit through it. I leave the poles in the holders, stuff them holder first into the bag with the poles hanging out. It takes 60 seconds to set up or take down. My pup is 6 lbs and this works fine for her but I have doubts about a pet over 10-15 lbs. My husband wished me luck and bet me $5 that Hou Dini, my 4 month old shih tzu would not be interested in this. Day 1 required treats after every pole and the jump pole was more fun to pull off the stand. The second 15 minute try got her through the weave with 2 treats and she followed me jumping over the bar. Day 5 - She went through all poles before getting a treat and had a great time zooming over the jump. We are on our way to Burger King to celebrate on hubby's dime! I recommend this for any small dog owner that wants to check out agility exercises without investing a fortune. Hopefully I will be able to post a video so you can see how much fun Dini and I have with this!

I have 2 dogs (springer spaniel, 45 lbs and coton de tulear, 13 lbs). Bought this set as a way to get in some activity during the winter when walks just aren't feasible. The pop up tunnel is quite large -- my 5'10"/160 lbs husband can easily go through on his hands and knees, so it's not really challenging for my smaller pup. The weave poles are just molded plastic, so the bases are not sturdy. Since we're just learning the weave command, the poles get nudged and do get knocked over easily. Also, it's good to know that assembled, the hurdle is fairly narrow....again, works great for my smaller dog, but not ideal for my larger dog. Overall, I do recommend this product if you are looking to start agility, but don't want to invest in a super expensive kit.

A little hard to assemble but had to be tight to hold the sticks upright. One dog has mastered the hurdle. Both are a little leery of the weave poles thus far but we are working on it. The tunnel is ridiculously big -- a Scottish deer hound could get through it. It is not even close to what a dog would encounter in an agility ring. It should only be about half the height and width and then could have been made a little longer for the same cost -- the only disappointment.

I bought this for my 2 young border collies to have some indoor fun on my smooth hardwood floors on cold & rainy days. It was such poor quality & cheaply made. The tunnel would not hold its shape & kept collapsing. Only my kitten enjoyed it. There was NO WAY a dog would EVER be able to walk thru it & it would remain standing - it collapsed on the kitten & that's he loved it. After 5 minutes, I couldn't even get it to stand up. The poles were so lightweight & flymsy that just breathing on them would knock them over. The plastic rings that hold the poles were so rigid & if just slightly bent (which happened easily in shipping), they were so light they'd topple over. The clips that slide down the poles to hold a horizontal jumping pole did NOT work. The pole would fall off immediately because the poles were so wobbly. Dogs were not interested & it actually scared them when the poles fell (don't like loud noises). Am sending back.

I made this purchase for my poodle mix. He’s 24lbs & full of energy. For the price you can’t expect a whole lot of sturdiness, but with that, it’s been really great for us. My other 2 smaller dogs also enjoy this agility set (11lbs) there are definitely ways to add a little weight to the base and poles for indoor and outdoor use. I think this is a great starter kit for any small to medium dogs. I’m sure bigger dogs can get some use out of the set with a little maneuvering. I’d imagine getting one larger pole to extend the distance further for jumping. Overall I’m pretty happy with my purchase!

You get what you pay for here. The weaving poles and hurdle barely work on carpet or grass, falling over in the slightest breeze or touch by my dogs. No where seemed stable or flat enough where we have access, but might work OK on kitchen tile, concrete or similar. Not functional for a beginner dog who will be clumsy and unfamiliar with the apparatuses. My 5# chihuahua did slightly better with the weaving poles and hurdles than the 18# Pug/Corgi mix, but both knock it over more often than not. This can be very frustrating for all of us. The tunnel is giant in diameter, is too short in length and works better as a sun shade/hideaway than as an agility tunnel. It reminds me of something a kid might use to make a fort. Pay attention to the dimensions and assess your dog’s needs/abilities accordingly. The tunnel might work better for an extra large dog afraid or unfamiliar with tunneling, but was ridiculous for either of my small dogs, both of whom already love to explore under the couch and other confined spaces, and sleep in much smaller but appropriately sized crates. Good luck folding it back up after use. We’ve never gotten it compacted effectively enough to return it to its carrying bag, and the zipper ripped the first time we attempted doing so. Not the worse $20ish I’ve spent on my dogs, but barely functioned as an intro to agility for my small dogs.

Obviously it's cheesy, but I got it on black friday sale for like $14 and it's TOTALLY worth that. May not last too long, but it's fun while it lasts. Great indoor play that makes my pup think and wears her out on those icky days where I just don't feel like braving the elements and playing with her outside. She's currently passed out taking a nap after indoor playtime :) I initially got her though the tunnel by placing her favorite (dehydrated liver) treat right in the middle so she had to step in to get it. Then she realized it wasn't so scary and started just walking right through it. Only take a star off for cheesiness, but it packs up well and comes with a storage bag which is super nice and actually helpful to keep it all together. Overall recommend. Just don't spend full price for it.

思ったより安っぽい

Great fun, poles quite short so for any dog over the size of a Westie they would find it hard to jump over the jump unless lengthened, we used a long stick and balanced it on the poles. Tunnel is huge as my friend found out when crawling through to tempt the dog, and if there is a puff of wind will blow across the rest of the course :D all in all great fun, wears the dog out well - would recommend.

Works well fir a small dog. Great while in lockdown

L'ensemble est conditionné dans un sac en tissu avec des poignées, c'est très utile pour transporter les accessoires et ça ne prend pas de place (rangement à plat), de plus c'est très léger. Les tiges sont un peu fines mais le rapport qualité / prix est excellent !

Je l'utilise pour en faire avec mes chats. Pour mes chiens ce n'est pas solide ni assez large.
