Agility Equipment for Dogs – Accessories for training, Parcours & Tournaments

Agility is a dog sport in which the dog must complete a course of hurdles, tunnels, slaloms, and other equipment as accurately and quickly as possible.

It promotes concentration, agility, and bonding between dog and handler.

Agility is basically suitable for healthy, active dogs of all ages.

However, puppies or older dogs should be trained with adjusted exercises and lower heights.

You can train agility in your own garden, on open spaces, or in a dog sports club.

Information about agility clubs and training groups can be found on the websites of the national dog associations and regional dog sports clubs.

Many clubs publish training times, beginner courses, and competition dates online or on social media.

Tip: Also search for “Agility club + [your region]” to quickly find local training groups near you.

Yes! Agility is fun for both beginners and professionals alike.

Many trainers recommend starting with simple equipment and gradually increasing distance work as well as speed.

Yes, basically – but with adapted training.

For older dogs, we recommend Hoopers, a particularly joint-friendly agility variant without jumps.

In this, the dog runs through Hoops, Tunnels and around Barrels, without heavy strain on joints or back.

This way, your dog stays fit, focused, and active without being overwhelmed – perfect for seniors or dogs with limited mobility.

The most important Agility equipment includes:

• Hurdles
  
• Tunnel
  
• Weave Poles
  
• Seesaw (Teeter)
  
• Zone obstacles (e.g. A-frame or dog walk)
  

These elements form the foundation for every Agility training session.

For beginners, this is usually enough:

• 1–2 hurdles
  
• a Tunnel
  
• optional a Weave Poles
  

With these, you can already build a simple Agility course and start your first training sessions. Many Agility enthusiasts combine our Agi Jump Double Hurdle Pack + Smartgrip Agility Tunnel for their first self-made course.

Agility is suitable for many dogs, particularly active and eager-to-learn breeds. It is important to adapt the training to the dog's age, size, and fitness to avoid overexertion.

With classic Agility, the dog has to jump and overcome various obstacles. Hoopers, on the other hand, is gentler on the joints as jumps are skipped and the focus is more on distance work. Click here if you want to learn more about Hoopers Agility!

Agility Hurdles are mostly height-adjustable and are tailored to the size of the dog. For safe training, it is important to choose the correct height. If you want to participate in competitions, pay attention to the tournament rules and regulations!

Agility Tunnel should be stable, slip-resistant, and weatherproof. Depending on the training, straight or curved Tunnel are used. Our Smartgrip or Fullgrip Tunnel are ideal for this purpose.

2–3 training sessions per week are ideal. It's important to schedule enough rest breaks so your dog can recover.
