If so, these training devices may be just for you. Zoner honers are designed to be used like the training hoops described in Peter Lewis's Agility Dog International book. In addition, zoner honers are useful for teaching dogs to get onto the contact obstacles straight even when they are approaching the obstacle from an angle. The outdoor zoner honer has stainless steel spikes on the ends so it can be inserted directly into the ground. The agility ladder has many uses.
Some people use it as a fun obstacle to help puppies build confidence.
Other people use it to help large dogs learn control over their hindquarters. We've also found that it's great for working on contact zone problems since the dogs learn to take small, controlled steps. For medium and large dogs, use the ladder as shown in the picture. For puppies and small dogs, lay the ladder upside down so the rungs are flat on the ground. It's white and decorated with bands of colored tape.
