    Some agility enthusiasts don’t like to use tape to decorate poles, citing the necessary maintenance and the possibility a dog will get their fur caught, especially in the weave poles.  However, decorating poles is still necessary!  Try using a spray paint like Krylon to color your poles.  You can create patterns with your vinyl tape, spraypaint it, and then peel the tape off off!

    Share a picture of your favorite poles here (email brittany@affordableagility.com ) or on facebook! (Or like Hershey here, your dog with tape!)

    If you want different colors of tape, go here at Affordable Agility for a wide selection of wonderful colors.

    What size tunnel should I get?

    We offer a wide variety to suit all your tunneling needs, but sometimes it’s nice to hear the pluses – and minuses – of individual tunnels, or suggestions on which might be best.

    Generally, our practice line is great for backyard use with a few dogs. These tunnels are lighter than what you might see at a competition, and made out of heavy-duty canvassy material. Store when not in use to make your tunnel last longer!

    The competition line is heavy duty, super strong, and fits competition standards. These tunnels are quite a bit more expensive than the practice tunnels, but clubs, trainers, and some individuals find it worthwhile.

    Length: If you want nice S curves, a 15-20’ tunnel is best, but if all you need is a simple C, a 9’ will work nicely! Our 6’ tunnels are for small dogs, and they can also be coaxed into a C shape – although it’s a sharp curve on those tunnels!

    Diameter: We offer 19”, 22”, 24” and 28” diameter tunnels! How do you choose?! When in doubt, I always suggest our customers go with competition diameter – 24” for most organizations. If you are not going to compete at any time and have a giant breed, you may like the 28” super giant tunnels. The 19” diameter works for toy dogs or puppies, but we don’t suggest it for taller dogs.
