Find out the uses and importance of the basic agility equipment in the list below.

A-Frame. This two-platform equipment is normally 3 feet (1 m) wide by 8 to 9 feet (3 m) long and formed an A shape. It can increase the dog’s endurance and test his balancing capacity.

See-Saw (Teeter-Tote). This dog agility training equipment is much like a child’s see-saw and is 10 to 12 foot-size plank with pivot as support. The see-saw is constructed slightly off-balance so that the same end always returns to the ground. This is done either by placing the support slightly off-center or else weighting one end of the board.

Tunnels. This dog agility equipment is one of the newest additions to an agility course. It is an obstacle that consists of interconnected tunnels. Available in open-ended and collapsed end.

Jumps. There are actually different types of jumps in an obstacle course. These include the panel, hurdle and tire jump.
º Tire Jump. A tire or tire-shape is suspended in a frame that is usually wrapped with tape so that there are no openings or uneven places in which the dog could catch. The dog must jump through the opening of the tire and its height is adjusted for dogs of different sizes.
º Hurdle Jump (Single, Double,Triple). Two or three sets of uprights, each with horizontal poles. The Double can have parallel or ascending horizontal bars; the triple always has ascending bars. The spread between the horizontal bars is sometimes adjusted based on the height of the dog.
º Panel Jump. Instead of horizontal bars, the jump is a solid panel from the ground up to the jump height, constructed of several short panels that can be removed to adjust the height for different dog heights.

Pause Table (Pause Box). This is like a simple table square marked off on the ground, usually with plastic pipe or construction tape, where the dog must perform the "pause" behavior (in either a sit or a down) just as he would on the elevated table.

Weave Poles. This equipment is a series of upright poles, each about 3 feet (1 m) tall and spaced about 20 inches (50 cm) apart, through which the dog weaves. Considered to be one of the most difficult obstacles for a dog to master, the weave poles also vary from 5 to 12 poles at one time. The dog must always enter with the first pole to his left and must not skip poles.
