This is a well-manufactured product that's held up to a lot of use this winter! It's so easy to break this thing out of the closet and use it when your dog's driving you bananas for training, but the snow is a foot deep outside. It unfolds quickly and easily, it's light and compact enough to haul with you to the park or to a hotel, and so far it's very sturdy. I plan to use it in the spring to work on distractions as I transition my young dog into her first outdoor working conditions. I've built a lot of value for this jump inside over the winter, and I imagine that she'll be so used to seeing this jump (and the distinctive process of unfolding it) that she'll know exactly what we're about to do and forget about squirrels and birds and airplanes. I think it will be a good transitional piece of equipment that will help her to generalize our activities to new places.
