I'd like to get a sway bridge even though I don't do UKC agility because I think it would be a good way to teach my dogs to be aware of their bodies more--where their feet are, how to hold themselves and control of their bodies.

For the smaller dogs it really is an effort to 'climb' the A-frame. Just being able to practice, even a smaller version A-frame, would increase our endurance for trials.

We had a total of almost 23 feet of the white stuff so far. It was a record year for the far western mountains of Maryland. I would like to add a new set of 24" spaced weave poles to my equipment. I have noticed that my dog is a lot slower since her timing is off when running in trials that have the new spacing. I think the 24" spacing is better for the larger dogs but it needs to be trained to be efficient. We just watched the last of our snow slowly disappear.

Emme has started creeping down it at trials, and today she skidded to a stop instead of going up it, then looked at me with a "You want me to that? I don't think so" look. It took several attempts to get her to go up it. Having our own A-Frame will also help with tunnel/frame discrimination and with sending to a traditional jackpot that has an A-Frame.
