That is so cool! How much space does it take up in your yard?
My husband wants a sport court, but I think this would be a lot more fun!

Hey there Ruth !  Haven't seen ya post in awhile + I haven't been on much either. You got it, Mr. Shad doin his thing. I hope to show him soon, he does so good ! Working on staying with me issue & not running over to another dog on side lines or out of ring. Since rescue, not sure what he will do, does fine around dogs, but can be in your face & pushy. The house from 2nd pic, would be up in left corner way up the hill ! Slight tan showing through woods. This area is down the hill in our backyard & then a slight right walk to the field area I call it. It's maybe 20 some feet x 30 some, hubby is asleep right now & I don't remember right off hand. Need bigger........ LOL We are going to build yet a wing jump or 2, broad jump, & panel jump. Also a A-Frame, but winter project because I want a aluminium framed one & hubby can do for winter project. Oh, also need another set of metal base weaves so I have 12 ! They are in building process also....  This is it for now & I'm floored ! Taping & building is kind of a pain because wanted it all glued & taped matching. Double & triple took forever ! Now I need training help on slowing down to hit contacts correct on walk, they want to dash right across & off almost before I get to end ! Sable knows it the best & I say, wait & she slows or stops.... Need help in this dept !  Thanks for comments !

WOW, impressive! You are probably able to be a plumber with your PVC skills at this point.
For the contacts, I'd break it down and JUST work on the bottom like this: My current instructor prefers actually dropping the treats on the ground after clicking. Takes focus off our hands and onto the ground..... course if you work in a sandy horse barn this may not work so well.

Thanks MRL for the links, keep tips coming.
Can or should you go back to this method if the know the walk already ? Not sure if I should train with a target & then move to contacts ? Just not 100% sure how I want to go about it ?Well.............. with the building, was more hubby's co-worker (love him... LOL) & hubby when he had time. They did this durning business hrs at the shop. I just told them & showed pics how I would love built, with specs & all. Oh, I did help paint & sand the boards !!! Taping, all me....... Training area you are at looks awesome !

Too bad some OH agility GSD folk wasn't close to come play ! MRL, Do your dogs stop at contacts while in a full run ? What do you say or do to slow or stop them ? How did you train for that ? Most of the time mine do continue straight off because *mom* is babysitting their side so off forward they do go, but not slowing down unless I say *wait* or something & only 1 out of the 3 are doing.  I don't want them to start jumping off the sides either !
