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

The yellow tunnel is easy to set up, easy to put away. It has an attached hook on it to minimize for travel to put in the enclosed yellow bag that carries all the stuff seen in photo. the tunnel has hooks to strap it to the ground. It's a good round size, so most dogs less than 20# can probably go thru it fine. My 15# dog Blondie is learning to "tunnel" to get treats! I can move it throughout the house, so she learns to use it no matter where I am. It's fun for both of us!UPDATED 3/23/2015 I put this set outside in my big side yard, along with a teeter-totter ramp. So Blondie goes up the teeter totter, where I have her sit right in the middle, so it sorta teeters back and forth a while! Then she walks down it, and we go thru the weave posts several times. Next I have Blondie SIT in a line, so when I say "tunnel!" she runs thru the tunnel, then jumps thru the hoop, or vise versa. Most of the time she does it.The jump hoop is rinky dink in that it isn't a perfect, strong circle. It is sort of warped, which decreases the size of the hoop. It is easy to move up or down as my wild child learns to jump higher.The tunnel is nailed into the ground from some loops on it for that purpose. I suggest you get horse-shoe spikes to put it down, so it's easy to take up or down, like for my lawn mower man. I'm using some L-shaped clips, that I think came with the set, but they are too small to be real useful if moving the tunnel for some reason.The weave posts install easily, just hammer the blue ground pegs into the ground, then put the posts into them. I also sprayed Round-up around the blue ground pegs, around the tunnel and jump rings, so the lawn mower man keeps away from the posts and breaks the yellow sticks.The jump hoop ring is four pieces to put together, and the stakes are same as the weave posts.UPDATE December 2015: Moved to new home, where I have the teeter totter in line with the tunnel and jump ring. I spray week-killer around all that so the lawn man doesn't mow or weed-wack and break the equipment, especially the yellow posts.However, he DID hit the yellow tunnel, leaving a 4" rip. A few days later we had a strong wind, and soon that yellow tunnel had ripped all apart, unrepairable, and is now in the dumpster. Gonna buy a new one from some company here.Also, the jump ring is useless. It's always falling apart, even with wads and rolls of wide tape around where the weekwaker-man seems to keep hitting it, and breaking them in half. I gave up on the weave posts, as having to use them to replace broken jump ring posts.We are both enjoying this very much, and I'm even teaching my blind black dog, Magic, to use the ramp and weave posts. Why not teach her to "Brinca!" too???!!! (JUMP!)It IS very easy to put together or take down, so one can easily travel around with it to friends' homes, or parks, etc. Great value for the money!UPDATED DECEMBER 2015I am fed up with the jump ring. I kept it about two inches off the ground, because it just falls apart if the dog touches it at all. There are two blue height adjusters on each jump ring post, and I put twist ties around them to keep them in place. But the dog still knocks them down. Gonna get some other brand.Also, at my new house, the lawn man accidentally put a tear in it about 4" long, and with the strong wind we had today, the small rip went clear around the tunnel, so it's in the dumpster now.Never could get the dogs to use the weave ring. Also, lawn man also weed-wacked the yellow posts, which I have taped with thick wide tape to protect from further damage.I purchased the teeter totter, and it's held up just fine!ANOTHER UPDATE: After looking over all the offerings on tunnels, I am going to buy this again. My tunnel ripped after a strong wind after weed-wacker man hit it, and the posts keeps breaking off when wacker gets near it. BUT, this is still the best quality for the money. I am going to order another one, and pre-tape the bottoms of the posts, even if there is round-up and no weeds to wack around them. The tunnel is the perfect size, and would have held up well if I had Round=Upped the tunnel before wacker got to it. So I am happy and pleased to purchase another one.

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!

The media could not be loaded. It’s fun. Wasn’t expecting much, and we do have fun with it. Only disappointment is the hoop jump- don’t care that it’s small and cheap plastic; I just don’t like that it won’t stay together; it’s a very odd design. And the directions aren’t great either. But she likes the ‘tunnel’ and we can do the weave poles so it’s fine. Would have liked to use the hoop but oh well

I bought this at Christmas for my 1.5 yr German Shepherd. We had been doing some agility/obstacles in training class since she started puppy training. She's wicked smart (she taught herself how to do the A-Frame @ full height when she was 5 mos). We had just finished Intermediate 1 class & she had been doing some jumps, the balance steps, ladder, & taught herself the night of graduation class, the balance board (literally walked in the building walked over to investigate steps up, sat down, then downed by herself. The trainer was mighty impressed so she took pics to send to the main trainer that teaches the law officer basic canine classes in town), so I thought this would be a good way to introduce the tunnel - basically that was the only reason I bought this. That & the weave poles. She's a big girl (I'm 5'3" & in the stand position, she comes to about 4" above my knee) & the cones just don't cut it. I put it up today & was pleased to see that, while the tunnel is pretty short, she got thru it with ease. She had it down after the third try. The first time thru she did it on her own. I said "tunnel" & thru she went. If you want to break up training a bit or introduce your fur kids to the tunnel, for the price, it's a good buy. Outward Hound is a reputable carrier of all sorts of things. Have you tried any of their puzzle toys? Great way to keep the brain off the shoes. I will admit, getting the tunnel to break down is a pain, but you can do it. In my opinion it's a good buy & a great way to breakup your training routine & exercise the mind & body. Ellie gives it 2 paws up!!

Cheap and cheap is all I can say or Amazon will kick it out. Save your$
