I originally started dog agility because it looked like fun. What I didn't expect was how close my dog and I would become.
Dog Walk.
The Dog Walk consists of a
center section and two ramp sections, the
surfaces of which are made from wood or other fabricated
material that can be properly
surfaced. All sections are 12
inches wide, plus or minus (+/-) an inch, and all are 12 feet
long. Planks shall be connected so as to eliminate gaps large
enough to fit a dog’s foot or toe. Within a 2-inch tolerance, the
top of the center section is 48
inches above the ground. The
top surfaces of all sections must be non-slip
when wet or dry . Glossy paint is not allowed.
A-Frame.
Performance:
Dogs must ascend one of the
ramps, cross the center section, and
descend the other ramp in the direction designated by the
judge. They must touch the down
contact zone with any part of
one foot prior to exiting the obstacle.
