In our practical test, the dog tunnel from GOODS+GADGETS® proved to be extremely versatile and reliable. We put the tunnel through various challenges to test its performance in different scenarios.
The stability and dimensional stability of the tunnel were proven by repeatedly running an active dachshund through it and were confirmed without reservation. Even under intensive use, the tunnel retained its original shape and showed no signs of deformation or instability. This is particularly important for dog agility training and active play, as the tunnel can withstand the challenges of energetic play.
The remarkable flexibility of the tunnel not only made it easy to run through, but also opened up the possibility of creating curves and different shapes. This proves particularly beneficial in dog agility training as it can create a varied and motivating experience for the dogs. The ability to bend and shape the tunnel as required increases the appeal of the product for dogs and owners alike.
Cleaning the tunnel is uncomplicated. A damp cloth is sufficient to remove dirt. However, it is important to allow for a drying phase before folding up the tunnel to avoid any mildew stains or similar.
Assembling and dismantling the tunnel is extremely user-friendly. The tunnel unfolded easily by simply releasing the straps, and when folded, the straps allowed compact storage.
The transport bag supplied is extremely practical and functional. The folded tunnel fits inside without any problems, while the pegs for fastening can be stored safely inside. It would be nice if the pegs were a little longer for a better hold.
This well thought-out solution not only makes it easier to store the tunnel, but also to transport it when out and about.
The dog tunnel from GOODS+GADGETS® is a reliable and versatile solution for agility training and recreational fun. Its robustness, flexibility and ease of use make it a recommended choice for dogs of all ages and sizes.
