Slalom – Dog Agility course
AG16/A
The Slalom is a must on the dog agility course, designed to develop coordination, rhythm and concentration outdoors. Made up of a row of evenly-spaced poles, it invites the dog to weave between each pole at a controlled speed, accelerating as he progresses. Accessible to all levels, it can be approached with close guidance (short leash, target, treats), then independently for fluid support and gaze work. This agility obstacle promotes physical fitness, proprioception and the human-dog bond through fun, progressive exercises. Ideal for communities, dog clubs & schools, public spaces, campsites and leisure centers, the slalom can be integrated into a complete outdoor dog run or installed as a stand-alone module. Designed for long-term outdoor use, it comes with installation advice, site-specific anchoring options and quotation and maintenance services for long-term, safe operation.
Function
