Very easy directions for the bar jump, but after making 3 with the 1″ PVC I switched to 3/4″ because it is so much easier to cut and the components are all much cheaper than the 1″. The jumps are just fine for practice. Cost me about $6 per jump total.

That jump looks great! And your dog is cute. If you make a few different things, she might find the variety interesting. Don’t forget to try a variety of rewards. My dogs are ho-hum about the agility practice if I use food. If I bring out the rabbit fur tug toy they go completely bananas, doing all the obstacles on their own and racing around like freaks.

Thanks so much for this website! I was easily able to follow your directions to put together the jump for my very energetic boxer. If she ends up liking it, I’m sure I’ll be trying some of the others!

I’m really excited to get these made! Ive always wanted to do agility with my 1yr old black German shepherd, Justice, and recently got three new puppies- half German shepherd half siberian husky mix (Simba, Onyx, and Balto). I also have a white German shepherd named Jake, but he’s older.

Anyway, Ive dont have any agility exsperiance but cant wait to start training! I have a few ideas of how to teach them, but am not planning on entering contests.

Thanks for the info! [I'll come back and tell you how it goes ]

[...] Nope, not hard to build. And probably cost me less than $15. This is what I based my jump off of: Instant Agility Bar Jump or Hurdle [...]

Made three jumps over Christmas. Directions are great even for me who never did anything like this. I too couldn’t find the snap saddles so I found some reasonably priced jump cups on ebay. Actually they look like someone sliced a snap saddle in half. They are not cut down Ts. They work great, easy on & easy off.

This is so great! I have been wanting to build agility equipment for my dogs for so long, and you made it so simple! I built my first pieces yesterday (2 bar jumps.) The only frustrating thing is that I cannot find the 1″ snap on saddles anywhere. So I still can’t put the bar on my jumps. It’s a bummer but I’m still so excited that I’m already looking at building the weave poles next! If you get a chance sometime, I would love to have plans to build a tire jump. Thanks again!
