Questions & Answers
Thank you for taking the time to do so. By the end of January 2021, they should be available again.
Hello! It's made of a material that's similar to tent material. It should be fine in light rain, but it should be moved indoors in heavy rain or snow. Thank you very much! br>
Yes. My Black and Tan Coonhound is a very active dog. It's possible that you'll have to do some more stabilizing.
With a hyperactive border collie, ours has held up admirably. While this is a standard diameter, once your Pyrenees is fully grown, it will be too small.

The importance of sandbags cannot be overstated. These lightweight nylon tunnels are much easier to roll and fold than professional tunnels. My dog is startled by this movement, but thanks to the sandbags, it stays put. I fold down milk jugs refilled with water inside the sandbags, then secure down the tunnel with the large velcro on the sandbag top edge. It's also simple to set up and take down. br>br> There are four velcro tie-ins to choose from. Around the tunnel, there are a lot of ups and downs. I was a little concerned about the shorter than regulation length, but it's long enough to make a blind 90-degree bend, which is all I need for any practice course I want to set up.
This is the second time I've purchased a tunnel for my two Portuguese Water Dogs; the first one was ripped apart in a matter of months. br>This tunnel is made of the same material as my previous one, but it is a few feet longer and comes with weights to keep it in place. br>The first one I got came with stakes and loops attached to the tunnel so you could stake it in the ground and keep it there. When I used that old one in the house, I tried to keep it in place by blocking it with furniture, but neither the stakes nor the furniture were strong enough to keep it from moving and eventually ripping. br>There are weight bags that go over the tunnel and keep it in place (you can fill them with sand, gallon water bottles, or other weights). I'm not sure if it'll last as long as the last, but it's much more secure, and so far it's working well. My dogs have been using it for about a month and haven't caused any damage yet. br>I strongly advise you to purchase a weight-lifting tunnel. Because the more durable tunnels are much more expensive, this is the best way to test the tunnel.
This is what I use for training, and it's well constructed. On windy days, the sandbags help to keep it in place. It's very simple to set up and take down, and it's also very simple to fold down and store in the carrying case.
This tunnel complements our indoor jumps and weave poles perfectly. It's an added bonus that it comes with weights to keep it from rolling around. Our two dogs (Parson Russells, each weighing around 14 pounds) zoom through it. Occasionally, we work together! It's a good thing we purchased it.
I teach a puppy agility class using this tunnel. It's incredibly simple to set up and take down, and I appreciate how simple it is to weigh down the tunnel. To hold the tunnel in place, I place a small brick on each side of the pouch. I'd buy it if they also made a 15-foot version.
You can easily change the length and angle. He's now 7 months old and flies through it like a pro. We combined it with some agility equipment, which keeps him occupied and out of mischief.
The product is well-made and includes a convenient storage system. I'm not sold on the weighting system because it requires you to put weight in it to hold it, but that makes it difficult to store. I've recently experimented with dumbells, which appear to be effective. It's a long one, but our rescue dog enjoys it.
Because I live in Florida, I must dismantle and store it after each training session. I found out the hard way when I left the last one out day in and day out for 6 months and it shredded apart.
