agility equipment is SO expensive to buy but you can make your own very simply. small jumps, a tire obstacle, go to toys 'r' us and pick up a kid's tunnel...the most important thing about working your dog without a knowledgeable instructor to guide you is that if you don't train correctly, it's hard to UNdo. much of agility is body position. i remember in my first beginning class, the instructor was on me a lot because i was confusing my dog by not keeping my shoulders in the proper position. the tiniest variance will send your dog off in the wrong direction. lucky for me, maggie had done some agility before she came to live with us so SHE was able to teach ME!
corgis are so quick, i sometimes had a hard time keeping up with her! with 2 artificial hips, i couldn't afford to crash and burn so there were a couple of times that she got ahead of me and practically ran the course by herself! lol
