Frequently Asked Questions

We make tunnels from 1 to 6 meters long. If you have limited space, choose a length that fits your training area and add a longer one later. Even a mid-length 3-meter tunnel is easy to set up in a garden or smaller space, while still building commitment and confidence.

Choose a tunnel with hard-wearing fabric, reinforced seams, and a rigid, shape-holding frame with no sharp points. For outdoor use, UV resistance and easy cleaning are key.

Yes - tunnels can shift under running dogs, especially on grass or slippery surfaces. Always use SARA or JENNY anchoring bags, or weight systems designed for your training surface. FCI recommends a minimum of 1 bag per 1 meter of tunnel (e.g., 6 bags for a 6 m tunnel). For your dog safety, using metal brackets, holders, or stands to secure tunnels is prohibited.

Yes - our tunnels and sandbags are designed for sub-zero use, down to −20 °C.

Clean with mild soapy water (no harsh chemicals) and store between −20 and +30 °C. Avoid dragging and use a carry bag to extend lifespan.

Start with the tunnel as short as possible and set it up so your dog can see through it. Reward every step (head in, paws in, halfway, full run, etc.) and extend the tunnel gradually. Keep it firmly secured so it doesn’t move or rustle.

Yes - our tunnels are built to standard competition specifications.

A dog’s tunnel speed and confidence are influenced by the inner surface friction, rib rigidity, and the smoothness of the tunnel’s curve. A stable tunnel with clean, gradual entries typically minimizes hesitation.

Yes. Damaged tunnel sections can be patched, and ribs can be replaced. Please contact us if you need a repair or replacement.

Choose an anti-slip tunnel when traction is a concern—wet weather, smooth flooring, or very fast runs. The anti-slip surface improves grip, boosts confidence, and reduces injury risk.

A sewn agility tunnel has several advantages over a welded one. In bends, it usually flexes more smoothly and keeps a consistent shape without sharp kinks or pinch points. Because the connection is sewn, there’s often less risk of hard edges or pronounced transitions, so the run feels cleaner for the dog and nothing interrupts speed. Underfoot, it tends to feel more even and “softer,” which improves footing confidence and the overall running feel. The seam is also typically durable under localized stress (especially in tight curves where one spot takes most of the load). And because it isn’t a heat-formed weld, temperature changes usually affect the joint less—so the tunnel behaves more predictably in both heat and cold.

Look for durable PVC (e.g., a stated weight of 620 g/m²), a covered spring-steel reinforcement, and a smooth inner seam—this reduces the risk of injury and wear with frequent use. For outdoor use, we recommend UV stabilization and a wide operating temperature range from +30 °C down to −20 °C.
