The basic materials for any type of rat agility training are the obstacles that they rat is expected to learn and complete during an agility competition. There are several online resources where you can find photos of jumps, tubes, climbing ropes, and more. Since we are just starting out with the whole concept of agility training, we are going to focus on the more standard/simple obstacles. These are obstacles that you can easily construct on your own. When our care and agility classes get going, there will be a series of sessions to help cover all of the different aspects of training and the final project will be an actual competition so you can show off all that you have learned over the session.
