Mushrooms – Dog Agility course
AG11
Champignons is an agility obstacle designed to link dynamic jumps between several studs on the ground. The dog must overcome each element in succession, developing rhythm, coordination and impulse. The biomechanics involve the hind limbs in propulsion, as well as overall coordination to link landings and relaunches. This equipment promotes explosiveness, agility and fluidity of movement.
Function
- Motor coordination: slaloming between the posts alternately stimulates the dog’s front and rear limbs, improving overall balance.
- Mental stimulation: the sequence of obstacles maintains the animal’s concentration and reinforces its learning of commands.
- Strengthening the handler-dog bond: guided exercise encourages communication and complicity between dog and owner.
- Flexibility and agility: slalom movements help to loosen up the dog’s muscles and joints during each session.
- An essential element of a complete agility course, it ideally complements the other obstacles for a balanced and engaging dog activity.
Use
Champignons – Dog Agility Course is designed to enhance dog agility courses by providing a fun and stimulating slalom obstacle for dogs of all sizes. This element fits naturally into an area dedicated to outdoor dog activities.

Frequently asked questions about our equipment
What benefits does mushroom slalom offer the dog?
Slalom between the mushroom poles develops the dog’s lateral flexibility, coordination and balance. It also stimulates his cognitive abilities by forcing him to memorize a precise sequence of movements. It’s a complete exercise, beneficial for developing puppies and adult dogs alike.
At what age can a dog start slaloming?
It’s generally advisable to wait until your dog is at least 12 to 18 months old before practicing intensive agility exercises, to avoid straining joints that are still growing. For young dogs, short, playful sessions at low speed are ideal for a gentle introduction.
How are mushrooms attached to the soil?
Mushroom poles can be installed by embedding them in a concrete base or bolting them in place, depending on the nature of the ground. Both methods guarantee solid stability during exercise. To ensure the safety of your animals, we recommend professional installation.
Are mushrooms suitable for all types of dog, including large breeds?
Yes, mushrooms are designed to accommodate a wide variety of dog sizes. The spacing between the posts is calibrated to allow the passage of small, medium and large dogs. For very large breeds, it’s advisable to reduce speed to preserve joints.
