Other Ideas:
- Pick up ideas by looking at agility equipment at an agility class, or from what is being sold online. I designed my dog walk bases by finding a picture of one being sold online.
- Look at the rules for the specifications for agility equipment in the UKC, AKC, or NADAC rule book (can be found on the venue's websites - ie. www.akc.org, or www.ukcdogs.com ) UKC has very good directions to making some of it's more unique agility equipment.
- Find something that imitates what you are trying to train (for example, I used three chairs lined up together to practice the UKC crawl tunnel, and I used a retaining wall to practice the AKC table.)
- Do Google searches for "Dog agility plans" or "Agility teeter plans" etc.
- Check Ebay for agility equipment or pieces and parts that you might need (jump cups, tunnels, teeter or dog walk bases.)
