If your dog does not know training with the tunnel you should build it up in a steady way and with a maximum starting length of approx 1 m only. Always fix the tunnel with the attached pegs, so that it cannot roll off.
The first two training phases should be carried out by two people. One person stands at the entrance of the tunnel and pays attention to that while the dog is also right at the tunnel’s entrance. Then the other person walks to the exit of the tunnel, looks through the opening and calls the dog by command like "tunnel“. Whenever your dog runs through the tunnel you should praise him properly and give him little treats.
If your dog runs through the tunnel without any problems and without being afraid you can start with the second training phase: Now stretch the tunnel. If the dog also runs through the stretched version you can offer your dog a new challenge by bending the tunnel.
You can optimize the training by running alongside the tunnel while the dog runs through it. Motivate your dog by giving him treats and throwing his favourite toy, which promotes fitness and speed.
If your dog likes to train with the agility tunnel you can challenge him by using a so called "sack tunnel".
