Boom

Tunnel
Such a projectile has the appearance of a long pipe. The tunnel can be made of fabric, plastic, or metal. The goal of overcoming this obstacle is to help the dog overcome the fear of closed space.
Contactless projectiles
These projectiles are jumping and running. They mean overcoming an obstacle by jumping long or high, as well as by running.
Different types of barriers
They can consist of two vertical struts and an easily knocked-down cross bar. There is also a barrier in the form of a fence and a double barrier.
Ring
A type of barrier that is attached to the frame in a suspended form. Even a tire from a car wheel can act in this role. This obstacle is overcome by jumping.
