Question 1

What is a dog agility tunnel?

Accepted Answer

Dog agility is basically like an obstacle course for your pup. Officially, it’s a “sport” for dogs that requires owners to get involved in the training by running alongside them while they complete the challenges. Most agility courses will include at least one dog agility tunnel that your pooch must run straight through. The tunnels may also have sharp angles or other distractions and unique features to add to the challenge.

Question 2

Do dogs like agility tunnels?

Accepted Answer

Dogs are natural hunters, and their instincts call them to dig, climb, and crawl through enclosed spaces to hunt for prey. Brands design dog training tunnel to mimic these types of environments and help fulfill the hunting and chasing instincts your dog possesses. Also, dog agility tunnels are a great way to help your dog exercise and get rid of excess energy as well as bringing the two of you closer together in fun and healthy ways as you run alongside and teach your pooch new skills.

Question 3

How do you train a dog to go through an agility tunnel?

Accepted Answer

If your pup has never gone through a dog training tunnel before, it’s best to start simple and take a step-by-step approach to training. Before you try to encourage the dog to run through the tunnel, it’s a good idea to set it up and leave your dog to investigate alone voluntarily. Once the dog seems relaxed with the presence of the tunnel, start encouragement to go inside by shortening the tunnel and making sure the dog can see you or another friendly face at the other end. Call to your pup and offer treats for walking through to create a positive association, and, over time, you should be able to extend the tunnel and eventually add things like corners to make the experience even more exciting for both of you.
