As you set and expand your training objectives, your thoughts turn to
the training objects. These are usually smaller items that you use at
home, to reinforce lessons learned in classes and to warmup for
competition. Ideally, these pieces should be adaptable, and grow with
you and your partner as your training progresses. Importantly, these
items should be quick to setup so you get the most from your available
time.
We build our equipment with the same care and attention to detail that
we give to our competition equipment. Designs are based on current
training practices, and our offerings are regularly updated to reflect
new concepts as they take hold. If you have any questions or need
additional info, please e-mail Alan.
Jump Bumps
TJB-P2xx-T
Our jump bumps are plastic half-pipes with contrasting paint stripes that can be used in a variety of training regimes. The basic bump is cut from PVC pipe, and is available in sizes from 2" to 8". The contrasting paint stripe enhances visibility whether on grass, sand or black rubber matts. Available in lengths from 1' to 4' for use as stride regulators or for contact training.
Training Bar Jump
Item AMJ-L141-T
This is a one-piece jump that is ideal
for training purposes, and may also be legal for competition. This is
an easy jump to move around the ring as the uprights are at a fixed
separation. Each upright is drilled to accept the indexing pins in 2"
increments from 4" to 30" for multi-discplinary training.
The jump consists of a one-piece base with two magnetic jump cups, and
one 4' PVC pole.

Compact Contact Equipment
Item TCE-Special
Not everyone has the space for
full-size contact equipment, yet still have the need to train at home.
We do build compact versions of the A-frame, dogwalk and teeter for
home use with smaller (under 16") dogs. All are built to duplicate the
angles presented by competition equipment, with reduced dimensions and
weight, making them easier to setup and move around. Please contact
us for further information and pricing to meet your needs.

enough to resist movement when used indoors on rubber matts. The bases
are finished with anti-skid paint and are designed to be
self-spacing when
lined up for straight runs.
Standard (20") and Super 2's (60cm -24") pole spacing are available.

Running Contact Trainers
Item TRC-P1xx-T
There are a variety of methods for shaping running contacts. One common trainer is the rectangular frame for the dogwalk or A-frame that defines physically encloses the contact zone, encouraging proper foot placement. An addition to this method is an overhead hoop that discourages fly-offs and side-offs from the contact area. These trainers are constructed from PVC pipe, and are individually constructed to meet your needs.
Wobble Board
Item TBB-W135-T
A basic training aid for familiarization and balance development. The top is a 32" x 32" square, treated with anti-skid sand and painted with a flat latex paint for firm footing. Underneath is a rounded wooden pivot ball that gives free movement and never develops a flat. As an option, we have a stack-a-ball system for altering the wobble, in steps, from none to fun! Ask about other shapes and colours too.
