I love these poles! What happens when you’re away at a trial & your dogs start having trouble with the weave poles? I used to cry but not anymore. These are easily transportable & quick to set up. Go somewhere off the trial grounds & set these up. I fix my dogs problems then go to my trial the next day confident that my dogs will weave correctly. What’s nice about these is that I can open & close these poles as needed to help my dogs. It doesn’t matter what problem they’re having; entry, weaving, or getting out properly. When done, everything breaks down & fits nicely inside a heavy duty duffel bag. Wouldn’t trade them for anything!
