Dog Agility Contact Trainer




My wife asked if I would make a contact trainer for our dogs, like she saw online.  It is constructed of 1/2 in plywood and pine  sides.

I had some exterior latex left over from painting the chicken house, so the base coat is a nice bright RED.  My wife's favorite color.   The top will have to be regulation blue and yellow so not to confuse the dogs...I thought dogs had trouble with color??  Oh well, I just obey.

Three coats of yellow porch paint, with a handful of non-skid granules: 


Next a coat of blue, and make the hinge with 1/2 in. copper pipe and some 1/2 in. steel rod.  Two 50 inch sections of chain and 4 carabiners completed the project.
