Highlighted Reviews
"We purchased the open tunnel first and then upgraded to the sack--hours of fun for the puppies and for us as we watch them frolic through this fun game!"
"The "sock tunnel", "chute", or "collapsed tunnel" is no longer used in all agility venues due to high rates of injuries. I do not encourage the average person to use this type of equipment because of the chances of dogs getting caught inside, getting physically or psychologically "damaged"."
