Glenda, our fittings are a very tight fit. If yours aren’t try wrapping one or two turns of electrical tape around the outside of the part that plugs into the base. Be sure to wrap it over the bottom, folding it up inside the pole, so it doesn’t just get pushed up the pole when you put them in the base.

This will not be a permanent solution, in that I don’t think the tape will last forever, you may need to redo it occasionally.

I’m trying to train my 3 y.o. shepherd cross using the 2×2 method for weaves, with this design, but he’s just knocking them all over the place. Any ideas on how to secure them so they don’t move?

Very clever design. I am in the process of going to 2 x 2 training and am designing the 2×2′s so that I can attach them together once I no longer need them as 2×2′s. this means probably using a cross piece instead of a tee in the center of the base on each end..won’t be regulation but should work fine for training proper entries..Have fun with PVC building for dogs!

I’m sorry I can’t answer this very well… I don’t have any friends with a short agility dog to borrow to try it out. You might try an agility discussion forum, or a forum for toy/small/short dogs of any breed — any forum for any breed nowadays is likely to have an agility or sport discussion area — and see what other people with short/small dogs are using with best results.

I know this is an old post but I hope you still have time to answer a question…

I have toy dogs and wonder the weave poles would work for them, will the elbows get in the way? The largest dog only stands 11″ at the withers.

Hi, I am new to the site and new to agility. I just started training with my 11 month mini aussie. I found your plans and was lucky enough to get Home Depot to cut my pvc. I talked our school’s shop teacher and a couple of my students to assemble everything for me. They raved how simple you guys have made it for them!!! Thanks!
