Operating Instructions

This agility kit offers three primary exercise modes: High Jump, Jumping Ring, and Weave Poles. Each can be adjusted to suit your dog's skill level and size.

1. High Jump

The high jump consists of two vertical poles and a horizontal crossbar. The height of the crossbar is adjustable using the clamps. Begin with the crossbar at a low height and gradually increase it as your dog becomes more confident and skilled. Encourage your dog to jump over the bar, using treats or toys as motivation.

2. Jumping Ring

The jumping ring features a circular hoop attached between two vertical poles. The ring's height can be adjusted using the Velcro straps. Start with the ring at a lower position to allow your dog to easily pass through. As training progresses, raise the ring to challenge your dog's jumping ability.

3. Weave Poles

The weave poles are a series of individual poles set in a line. The goal is for your dog to weave through the poles in an S-shaped pattern. Start by guiding your dog slowly through the poles, perhaps with a leash, and gradually increase speed and independence. Proper spacing of the poles is crucial for effective training.
