What the AI looks for in Dog Agility Tunnels
- Diameter
- 24 inches for competition training This is the regulation size, and a narrower tunnel changes how the dog moves through it.
- Length
- Commonly 10 to 20 feet; shorter tunnels for starting out and small spaces Longer tunnels allow curved setups but need more room and more anchoring.
- Fabric and coil
- Heavy-duty coated fabric with closely spaced coils Thin fabric tears on nails, and wide coil spacing lets the tunnel sag or collapse under the dog.
- Anchoring
- Sandbags or straps over the tunnel at several points An unsecured tunnel rolls or shifts when a fast dog enters it.
Brands that matter
- Affordable Agility: Competition-style tunnels with practical durability.
- Max 200: Agility-specific tunnels aimed at trainers.
- Outward Hound: Light beginner tunnels, mainly in kits.
What to avoid
- Children's pop-up play tunnels
- Tunnels used without sandbags or straps
- Fabric that stays wet and slick inside after rain
Questions
Why does my tunnel move when my dog runs through it?
It is not anchored. Drape sandbags or strap it down at several points along its length.
