I am training all 3 of my dogs in agility and i was wondering if anyone has any ideas how i could make the jumps, tunnels, and seesaws. I dont have a lot of money and the closest pet shop with stuff like that is about 2 or 3 hours away. We have a lot of logs and buckets. Not much boards, but i bet i could find a few somewhere. Anyone have any advice?:confused: Thanx.

The tunnels you can get at kids stores, like Toy's R Us, for around 20$, maybe even walmart.

Jumps, well if you can a hold of some PVC, you can make pretty inexpensive ones,

See saw, if your not looking for much "height" and just doing it for fun, get a plank that is atleast 12" wide, and around 6 ft long, place it on a brick/cement block ..

If you can get a hold of THREE planks, you can make yourself a dogwalk, by using a set of really low saw horses, (I bought a pair for 25$ at a discount store),,hinge the boards together, and you've got a short dogwalk.

Weave Poles, get those stick in the ground plant stakes,,

Here's a website with pretty reasonable agility equipment for sale
