When Clip and Go Agility creates a new product, their main goal is to make items safer and perform better. The Clearway Weave Pole Guides do just that. The guides are custom extruded using a ribbon of transparent UV-stable PVC plastic, and there are no sharp edges anywhere. The attachment clip is a screw-together two-piece clip that is easy to attach to your poles.
The Clearway Guides offer side-to-side flexibility so the dog is safe if he's hitting them as he goes through, yet they are very stable vertically. This means no more sagging wires!
Each guide is 56" long, creating enough room for all dogs to learn to do great weave poles.
Using the guide wires for the first time requires assembly.
Note: These guides fit all of the weave poles we sell and any weave poles made out of Schedule 40 3/4" PVC. If you are not sure whether your weave poles are made from Schedule 40 3/4" PVC, you can measure the outside diameter of your poles. Despite its name, 3/4" schedule 40 pipe has an outside diameter of approximately 1-1/16" (1.050").
Packaging:
- Set for 6 weave poles—everything you need for 6 weave poles (4 guides)
- Set for 12 weave poles—everything you need for 12 weave poles (10 guides)
I use these constantly and they are easy to take on and off and hold up well. From my Great Dane students to my 4 lb Chihuahua students, these guides hold their shape and never sag. As dogs become confident in the weaves, they don’t even notice when I raise them above their heads and eventually take them off. I have two sets!

difficult to to put together
Honestly this is the first time I have been disappointed with a Clip and Go product. It was very fiddly and difficult to put together- just was not what I was expecting. :(

Very nice, but seem a bit short
I love the design and that they do not sag. I have Rat Terriers and I wish these were just a little bit longer. All of my previous small dogs have hopped through the weaves and these are short enough that my dogs have to single step to avoid bumping into the guides. Because of their body size they seem to have trouble maintaining this pattern through twelve poles.

This is my fifth set of guide wires, I keep changing brands with each new set. First were the ones from MAD agility (no longer sold), they became brittle within a year or two out in the elements. Next was a set that claimed to be able to withstand the weather, and perhaps they could, but the wires were floppy and just sagged to the ground, the complete opposite of their exact purpose! Next was a DIY set where you cut a PVC pipe and attached some narrow water line tubing. These were a bit difficult to get on and off and were also more flimsy than I liked. Fourth was a set I got off eBay or Etsy. They were also difficult to get on an off, but the bigger concern for me was their size. They were very substantial, with the tubing being nearly 1" in diameter. It seemed more like a jump bar than a guide. This Clip and Go set was my favorite as soon as I opened it! Sure, there's a bit of DIY to assemble the clips but that also allows one to tighten or loosen the clips to fit your weave pole diameter. I find they clip on and off very easily (maybe off too easily as the Beauceron I've been weave training has popped them off occasionally). I like that they're clear, though I'm not sure it makes a difference to the dogs. I don't know if they'll hold up in the weather though given how easily these go on-and-off, taking them in when not in use is not a chore like it was for the other sets. If you're shopping for guide wires, I definitely think you'll like these as much as I do!
