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 2015 I 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.

Ok, I bought this for my Catahoula, Australain Shepherd, and border collie mix named Woody! Now the tunnel works great. But the jump fall over super easily and is a little narrow but he can jump it at the right height. The weave are really nice and don't fall over really easily like the jump, it's easy to put together and so far, no issues! He even got confused about the tunnels and jumped up and landed on it and it didn't snap! He's fine too! I was really nervous every when I saw the bad reviews but I'm glad I went ahead and bought it! UPDATE; Buying another one!! I'm actually making him an A frame, 3 jumps, a Teritortoter, and a larger tunnel! So, I'm buying another one as, the weaves a nice and I could use more, the jump works great for my Keeshond Rosie and the tunnels is actually large enough for him which is one of the reasons I bought this is cause the tunnels was larger! It's held up great and is yet to break apart like some where saying it did! I'm actually a lot happier with it than what I was in the beginning! Great for people looking to have fun with there dogs! Also; the tunnel did have an issue with putting away and I had to put books ok it to straighten it back out. Other than that, great product!

This is a decent, very basic agility set for small dogs. I bought it because I wanted to find an activity we could do indoors when the weather is bad to stimulate him mentally (he gets destructive when he's bored). He's very adaptive to training, so I thought he'd have fun, and he has. My little mutt is 25lbs, and I wouldn't recommend this set for dogs any bigger than he is. The tunnel pops up and stays open well. It was the easiest thing for him to learn- I had him going through it within two minutes of opening it up. Cons: -The pole bases aren't weighted at all, which is a bummer because my dog knocks them over with his tail when he gets excited, and that startles him and sets us back a bit as far as training goes. I'm going to have to duct tape something to the hollow bottoms of them to weigh them down. -The attachments for the jump are designed so that the middle, horizontal bar just rests on them- they don't actually clip in securely in any way, so it falls off ALL the time. If the clips were designed to just fit even a little tighter so the bar could snap in snugly, it would be a huge improvement. Overall, this is a decent set if you're just looking for an activity for you and your small dog to do indoors together, but I wouldn't recommend this for someone who's at all serious about agility training or for dogs bigger than 20-25lbs.

I purchase this to entertain and train my mini schnauzer Lyghtning. At first she was quite timid to use the tunnel so my son placed it btwn LR and the hallway so if forced her to go through. My dog is very nervous with new or unfamiliar sounds and will run the other way to avoid. After about 3 weeks of daily practice she goes in and out of the tunnel with no fear and at high speeds. Only con it took me forever to figure out how to fold it back down to fit inside the bag. The training poles could be more sturdy and heavy so it doesn’t slide across my hardwood floors. It took several tries before I could coax her to go under or over the rods. I had to camouflage the cross bar with an empty paper towel cardboard before she would jump over it. I had to sample the jumps several times before she would do it herself. The product was priced well and a fun training tool overall. I would recommend this product for small dogs only (under 18lbs)

Little Dispointed with the size of this Product because the Picture showed it was okay for Medium Sized Dogs and the Jump is a bit flimsy. But as I purchased this item to use at our Dog Training Club for the odd fun night for our members and their dogs Haven't used it Yet but have put it together so it should be okay for that

Onestamente non mi aspettavo granché da questo kit, visto che altri prodotti simili vengono venduti a un costo molto maggiore. Invece che non è affatto male. È completo di tutto: c'è la sacca per il trasporto, il tunnel, un ostacolo col cerchio e vari paletti per fare lo slalom. I miei nipotini si sono divertiti a montarlo nel giardino di casa (le istruzioni sono facilissime da seguire) e hanno provato a far superare il percorso al loro bassotto, attirandolo nel tunnel con dei pezzettini di parmigiano (!). Di saltare l'ostacolo a cerchio invece non ne ha voluto sapere. L'altro cane, una meticcia di taglia media, ha preferito stare alla larga da tutto il percorso (lei salta solo le siepi e solo quando ne ha voglia, non provate a convincerla del contrario!). Forse è stato meglio così, perché le dimensioni e la struttura generale del kit verrebbero messe a dura prova della sua mole. Consiglio il kit ai proprietari di cani di taglia piccola che vogliono spendere poco e vedere se i propri amici hanno qualche dote per l'agility. Noi non avevamo alcuna pretesa, né verso i cani, né verso il kit: il nostro obbiettivo era quello di divertirci all'aria aperta tutti insieme, fare qualche risata in compagnia, e l'abbiamo centrato a perfezione. Se invece ricercate un kit per cani più grandi o avete un minimo di ambizione, vi consiglio di scegliere altri kit più robusti e durevoli.

思ったより安っぽい

Assez fragile

I found the jump collapses easily - not sturdy enough.
