Product Description
Better Weave Poles for Easier Training
Easily used indoors or outdoors – train in all weather!
With the fixed base, you can bring training indoors in bad weather. It is also more suitable for areas that don’t have consistent grass coverage – such as desert regions. Lastly, the fixed position means you will never have to measure to ensure equal distance is between the weave poles. They really are the best choice!
A challenging obstacle for intelligent dogs
A bored dog can be a destructive dog. The weave poles are a physical and mental work out for your dog. Practicing agility training together will lead to a more fulfilling life & a closer bond between you and your dog.
Easy to separate for 2X2 training
One of the most challenging agility obstacles for dogs and trainers is often the weave poles. The fixed base design allows you the option to train weave poles using the “2X2” method. This method is beneficial for teaching your dog to learn the weave poles independently – without looking to you to lure them through each time.
10′ Long Tunnel & Sandbags
The best size for use at home
At a length of 10 feet long, the Better Sporting Dogs tunnel is a great length for indoor and outdoor use. It isn’t too long for indoor use, yet it is still long enough to form the “U-shaped” bend that you will frequently see in an agility course. The 24 inch diameter is the standard diameter of competition-grade agility courses, and it suitable for most dog breeds.
By utilizing the sand bags on either end of our agility tunnel, you will no longer need to worry about metal stakes. The metal stakes can always get lost or rust. In addition, there is the potential that the metal stakes could come loose and cause injury to your dog’s feet or legs as they run through the tunnel. Using sandbags is a safe and secure method of keeping your tunnel in place.
Supported by two set of sandbags
Tunnels are generally considered to be a safe & fun obstacle for dogs of any age – from puppies to senior dog! However, it is important to use sandbags to help secure the secure from rolling around while the dog is inside. This helps dogs overcome any fears that they might have
Standard Jump + Tire Jump
Use Your Way
The Adjustable Bar Jump can be used two ways: Secure the bar in to the jump clip provided, or place the bar in to the area on top of the bracket so it falls away if your dog hits it during the jump. No matter which set-up is your preference, you can use this bar jump both ways.
Indoor & Outdoor Use
The tire jump has a fixed base so it can be used on any surface – indoor or outdoors. You will be able to practice agility with your dog no matter what the weather has in store! In addition, it is fully adjustable by sliding the brackets up and down the upright poles. Dogs that are just starting out have the option to let the tire jump increase in height as their confidence increases.
Safe & Fun Exercise for your Dog
Agility training is a safe and fun way to exercise your dog. Working together towards a common goal increases the bond you share. The Better Sporting Dogs agility kits offer a quality, yet affordable option for you to try today.

Great set! easy to set up and fun for the dogs to play with.
Love this set. It has 3 jumps, weave poles, tunnel and the chute with the floppy end. Instructions were easy to follow. It even came with the sand bags to hold the tunnel down. You do have to fill them with sand first. The weave poles do tend to come apart if you move them often but they go right back together easily. Definitely worth the price. My cocker boy and older cocker girl are having fun!

Great agility set!
This agility set is just what we need for our Aussie pup. Easy to follow instructions made it easy to assemble. The 3 pole bags make transport of the pause box, jump bars/hoop jump sets, and weave poles a cinch. The tunnels seem to be well constructed and fold down easily to fit in their round carry cases. There was a tear in one of the bags during shipping. I wrote to Better Sporting Dogs through the Amazon app to request replacement of the bag. Their response was prompt! They shipped a new carry bag right away. I highly recommend this set for backyard agility practice!

Very acceptable for an inexpensive backyard training set
We weren’t expecting much given the price and some negative reviews but we are pleasantly surprised. Our 2 collies have been training at the startup level for maybe 10 sessions original so and after 2 tried they did as well as usual. They even went through the closed end tunnel for the first time without hesitating. The PVC was cut cleanly and all the parts fit together nicely. Even the directions were in English ( as opposed to asianish) with pictures which made the assembly quite clear. And the sand bags were excellent as well.The only jump we have trouble with is the hoop. It’s too light and even though the dogs get through, it falls over every time, hence the 4 stared.I would recommend this set for a backyard practice rig, but watch some YouTube videos if you and your dog are newbees.

Very easy to use
I ordered this set as I am just starting agility classes with my dog (65lb f boxer). This set is lightweight, easy to assemble, and move. It is sturdy enough for practice without being flimsy. So far so good!I would add that after the original box was damaged in shipping, UPS returned it to Hoffco prior to delivery. Hoffco e/m’d me the same day to let me know and then sent me the tracking number for the replacement shipment the same day. Very good customer service!

Portable and my dog love it
Portable, light and easy to carry. Not exactly the toughest but for the price it works great! My dogs are small with the biggest only 28 lbs. My 17lb Jack Russell took right too it, of course she loves doing anything with her Daddy. I like how the jump poles can be just set on it so they fall off easy for the beginner… don’t want them to trip and get scared but then can be snapped in place once they are more confident. I’m not sure how long this would last with big dogs but for the easy of setup and portability even if you only get one summer it is a good value….with my little dogs I’m sure they will get a lot of play out of it.

Great for starting out! Lots of fun!
Our one pup had been thru tunnels we had previously so she took to everything in the kit. Our newly adopted dog had no idea what to do but between watching our other girl and some treats he was doing the tunnels in a matter of a few minutes. Let me pass some info on. I see complaints that one of the tunnel is broken down and doesn’t stand up etc etc etc so they give this kit a bad review. Please read what you are getting. there is one long tunnel….regular tunnel. The other tunnel is called a blind tunnel by some. It does SAG at one end and that is what it is supposed to do!!!! The is part of what dogs have to do during agility training! For our new fella (with the green bone) he watched our Sasha and was curious but did not go all the way through the blind tunnel. So (as we had taught Sasha previously) once he would do the regular tunnel and took the blind tunnel and knelt down by the floppy side and opened it so he could see me from the other end. Once he saw me and came through once while i kept the floppy part from falling down he came through next time on his own. THe third time I let the floppy part “flop” and he came through like a champ. Just be patient and teach your pup what to do. Agility training takes some time to teach them. the other parts are just fine… Chewie would try and go around the jump (which i held in my hand at first to keep it low) and after seeing a little treat on the other side he never looked back. Love treat patience….the keys. Have fun with this!! You could also perhaps see some videos of agility training to help you help your dog.

Inexpensive but nicely done!
My dog is loving getting treats for doing the jump and for jumping through the hoop! I love that they included little black caps to put on the end of the pvc pipes to keep water and dirt out. She hasnât been able to run the tunnel yet, and is just starting to understand the weave bars. Itâs been a great activity that has brought us closer together!

Excellent value
I bought this for my wifeâs new heeler as a birthday present(And for mine and daughterâs heelers)My daughter won grand champion agility 2 years at the state fair with her heeler so I am very familiar with agility courses.I am happy with this course. Although it is not professional quality , it is a great value and works as advertised.

Was easy to assemble and of good quality. Have not really used the tunnels yet but the dog loves everything else. I own a very active 2 year old American Spaniel and this set easily stands up to his use and abuse. I have been using it a few months already.
Hailey –
Its not built for heavy duty use or large dogs (60lbs and under!) But for someone who wants to train their dog in their backyard how to play the basics of agility, this is perfect. Its easy to assemble and very lightweight and portable. I wish they had color coded each individual thing and its pieces, but colored tape is what we used!

I love how fast this was delivered. I love how easy it was to set up. Unfortunately, this was stolen from my property. I got this for my dog training business.
