What to look for in a puppy agility equipment kit
Do a search for the best puppy agility equipment kits and you’ll notice something peculiar.
Most sites (both stores as well as retail) interchange “puppy” with “dog,” so none of the sets are specifically made for young pups.
While that’s not an issue if you’re just looking for weave poles or tunnels, it is most certainly a problem once we get to the jumps.
If you happened to check out our guide to teaching your dog how to jump rope, you may have noticed one very important piece of advice.
Puppies shouldn’t engage in jumping activities until they’ve finished growing.
So, right there, we know that we want a kit that’s about more than just hurdles.
Should we skip the jump equipment entirely though? No.
It makes more sense to spend a bit more and get a complete kit now, even if you won’t be able to use the hurdles for a while.
Besides, if you get a kit with adjustable jump heights, you can set the hurdles at the lowest setting so that your puppy can just step right over them.
Beyond the hurdles, I looked at a few other features to narrow down this list, including:
- Durability- is it a “for now” set or something that will last years?
- Price vs. value- some sets are pricier than others, but they’re worth it!
- Regulation equipment vs just for fun- if you’re planning on competing, you’ll want equipment that meets AKC and other standards, which I’ll note.
- Ease of use for beginners- including you and your puppy!
Now that you know what I looked for (and what you should, too), let’s take a look at my top choices.
You’ll note that the list stops at 8. Why not 10?
Well, honestly, I couldn’t find 10 sets that I thought were puppy-appropriate, and I didn’t want to pad the list with things that I wouldn’t truly recommend!

Best Puppy Agility Equipment Kits
All of these puppy agility equipment kits are available on Amazon, and most of them ship free with Prime.
1. PawHut 4PC Obstacle Dog Agility Training Course Kit

Another one by PawHut, this model includes a few extras and is a bit more durable than the one above.

Recommendation
If you’re ready for something that’s not a total starter set in every way and you’re willing to spend a bit more, I really love this one.
It’s a bit sturdier overall than the first PawHut, so it should last well beyond puppyhood.

As long as you take care of it, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t last throughout puppyhood and into the adult years.

Cons
- Not weatherproof, so you can’t leave it out in the rain.
- Tunnel is made of very thin material
- While it’s fine for puppies, giant breeds will outgrow it quickly.
Recommendation
The Mimu is definitely a “starter set only” kit, as I can’t see it holding up beyond puppyhood.

5. BALL DYNAMICS FITPAWS CANINEGYM AGILITY KIT
Ball Dynamics may look like nothing more than a low-to-the-ground hurdle kit, but bear with me for a moment, as it’s actually a great little set for small pups.
Features & Pros

Cons

- Doesn’t come with a carrying bag.
Recommendation

6. Affordable Agility Agility in The Bag
Yes, it’s the most expensive set so far, making the “affordable” part kind of ironic, but wait until you check out the features before dismissing it.
Features & Pros
- Comes with everything you need for years of agility training, including weave poles, hurdles, a tire jump, pause box, tunnel, and a few little training tips.
- Tunnel is 3′ long and includes an 8′ removable closed chute.

Cons

Recommendation
If you have a small to medium breed and you know you’re definitely going to continue with agility work, this set is a great investment.
Everything is super durable, including the furniture-grade PVC.
Unfortunately, it’s just too small for large breeds, and too pricey to be a “just for now” kit.

- Bar jump is 36" wide w/adjustable jump height up to 26". Weave poles are spaced at 24" and the poles are 33" tall. Tire jump has a 24" diameter tire, with adjustable height. Tunnel is 3 ft long with 22" diameter. Removable chute is 8 ft long. Pause Box is a 36" pvc square frame.

These last few items aren’t really complete sets but they do make great additions to your kits.
7. The KLIMB Dog Training Platform and Agility System
If you’re planning on entering your pup into competitions, the KLIMB is a great way to train them in platform work (including how to actually climb up on the platform).
Features & Pros
- Comfortable elevated surface teaches them how to stand still on the platform.

- Blue-9’s proprietary QuiKonnect tab makes it easy to create multi-level platforms of any size.
- Legs store under the platform for easy storage

- Doesn’t come with directions or any tips for usage.
Recommendation
While the cons are pretty glaring (especially the price), this very simple platform has pretty terrific reviews.
That said, I’d really only get it if you’re planning on competing. Just remember that it’s not actually regulation size, so it’s good for getting dogs used to A platform, not THE platform.

If you want to teach your dog to use a see-saw, I recommend starting with this rocker.

These are amazing to use for agility! I would love to do this for mine, think she would love it.
Oh this brings back memories! We did agility with one of our Dalmatians. My husband made us some agility equipment to practice with in the back yard. Fun times!
Lot’s of great items. I love the tunnel. But I never knew puppies shouldn’t jump until they have finished growing
My best friend she just started training her dog, and I think she would love reading this. I have the blue tunnel for my cats and they are always using it when they play, I think is their favorite accessory.
I wasn’t aware that they had dog and puppy agility equipment! It looks like a great idea for training your dog to perform some tricks!
Ohh wow I love the sound of all of that. I wish I could convince my dog to do agility, he’s too stubborn!
