Balancer
Designed similarly to children’s swings. The training Board is fixed in the center, and the two ends move freely. Overcoming this projectile, the dog balances its own weight. This teaches her to control her body movements.
Boom
This is one of the types of slides. It has tips that are essential for lifting and for descent. The Central horizontal surface is designed for movement. Regardless of height and length, the goal of the boom is to train the dog to maintain balance.
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.
Slalom
It is a line of vertical racks. Overcome by running on the type of snake.
Podium
This is a kind of Playground, the height of which reaches up to 75 cm. the Dog must jump up there and stop for a certain time, before the team.
The use of this or that type of equipment directly depends on the goals set by the dog owner during training. Individual approach to each pet is one of the main keys to success.
