Obstacles Bones – Dog Agility course
AG12
Bone Obstacles is a dog agility course module designed to link dynamic jumps through bone-shaped elements. The dog must overcome these obstacles in succession, developing rhythm, coordination and impulse. The biomechanics involve the hind limbs for propulsion, as well as overall coordination to ensure safe, fluid landings. This equipment promotes explosiveness, agility and precision of movement.
Function
