I believe jeffers pets sells cheap agility stuff google it for the website. other than that my husband makes my equipment. you can start though by getting a hula hoop for the tire jump (tape it to a door frame) jumps can be made by putting a broom across 2 chairs, weave poles use those fiber glass poles for electric fences push them into the ground about 18-24 inches apart. that's all i can think of for now.

| Making your own is MUCH cheaper! Just Google "how to make backyard agility equpiment for dogs." A good site is:
And instead of buying a course I'd just rent a practice arena from a local club to see if you like it!
 Treat any animal with respect and it will come back one-hundred fold.

My Dad made me jumps, a tire, and weaves and is considering making them to sell. If you are interested let me know.

You might want to make a homemade agility course first to see if you and your dog both like it. For the weaving through the poles, I just stuck large sticks into the ground for my dog to weave through. And then I have her jump through a hula hoop, jump over a broom that is set on two low stools, and so on. And if you find that you and your dog enjoy the activity so much you should get the agility course!  --What's your price range for the equipment, by the way?--
