Newest Product Reviews for Cool Runners Training Weave Poles

Super easy to move and adjust!
I’m really pleased with these weave poles! They’re super easy to set up and take down, very easy to transport in the carrying bag. They’re sturdy enough for my lower drive dog inside the house and with my 25 pound moderate drive dog outside, staked in the ground. Like the description says they would not be well suited for high drive dogs. For the price they’re definitely a wonderful piece of equipment to have!

You get what you pay for
Overall, they feel very flimsy. They are surprisingly difficult to straighten, and they can only be used in grass where they can be staked. If you use them on a matt, they are not very stable because the stable feet are set under the actual poles so they wobbled. ^all of the above are okay to deal with for a set of inexpensive poles, but I also two pope bases fall off because you are screwing metal threads into soft plastic so even slightly pressure causes the screw to strip. (Weaves are stored indoors so they are not exposed to sun). I ended up having to buy new screws and nuts to hold everything in place

Easy to store and travel
I have a small space and these are perfect for my dog just starting out. She is not a drivey dog or else I would get the metal base ones. These are so lightweight and easy to store and set up. I am getting another set so I have 12!

Hard to evenly align
It is difficult to ensure accurate spacing and even channel distance with this device.
Comment from Clean Run The stakes can be hard to find. They are in a pocket that is part of the inside of the carry bag. If they are not there, then just contact customer service and we're happy to send you some. We recommend staking the base to keep your channel in place when you're using this set of poles. If your dog is really pushing the poles around then we recommend the Handler's Choice weave poles which have heavier bases. We do include this information in the product description to try to help people choose the best product for their needs.

Average
I had high hopes for these but I find them challenging to use on grass (difficult to stake so they’re level and vertically straight). But worse, within a few uses one of the poles in its base fell off the mounting screw. The hole in the base is too large for the screw so I’m unable to reattach. I didn’t return because I thought it must be an easy fix; it might be, in fact, but I haven’t yet determined what I need to purchase in order to make it work. And, really, I shouldn’t have to. It should have lasted far longer; however, to be fair, the other five poles are fine. But since the issue isn’t with an end pole; it makes it kind of a useless set. I’d be reasonably happy without the attachment issue. It’s an inexpensive set of training poles, and I didn’t expect perfection when I purchased!
Comment from Clean Run We're sorry that you had a problem with a pole. That definitely shouldn't have happened. Please get in touch with customer service so that we can ship you a replacement pole.

So disappointed!
The weave poles don't fit in the base. There is a tiny 1/8th inch bevel and that is the only part the poles will fit into, not at all sturdy and they fall out easily. The base is very flimsy and adjusting the the base to set up the style of weave you want is is very hard. Nearly impossible to make sure that everything is set. Absolutely disappointed, returning both sets I purchased.
Comment from Clean Run You are more than welcome to return the poles, but before you do so, you may want to take a second look. There is a 1/8th inch bezel, but the weave poles do fit all the way into the 2-1/8” deep pole holders. They fit very tightly, in fact. You need to step on the base and push down on the weave pole with both hands – rotating the pole as you do this will help insert it. It is actually very difficult to get them out once they are in, so this has not been a problem. As we say in the description, the bases are plastic and are not made for hard-driving dogs. We recommend the Cool Runners poles (a similar design, but a with metal bases) if you need something sturdier for your dog. The Handler’s Choice Poles are also meant to be staked to keep them in position once you set them up. It’s a cost/benefit decision. The plastic base set is much less expensive, but it is not as sturdy as the metal ones.

So compact!
I love these weave poles. My dogs (6-40 lbs) don't have any issues with them. They are so light and compact that I have actually taken them to dog shows to practice weave poles a little in the hotel room. I just recently got a second set of 6, so now I will have 12.
