Where can I get jumps for dogs?

Like - the pole things they can jump over. I think my dog Pippy. We think she's a greyhound/dalmatian mix of some sort. We still need to do a DNA test to know for sure. My parents might not want to get the jumps if they're too expensive.

pvc tubing is the cheapest option. You can make also posts out of pvc tubing. It's also light weight and weather resistant. There are also different connectors available which will allow you to make the base for any upright stand. If you get a bunch of T-connectors it will work just fine.

Keep in mind that dogs should not jump a lot before they are fully grown, for large breed dogs that will be not before 18 months.

This is a nice training tool for dogs. I have two border collies and they both love jumping each of the hurdles. They are adjustable and have a nice carry bag too.

The best thing to do is to find an agility club in your area. There is training available for both you and the dog, and they have all of the course stuff already. Much better - and much more fun - than doing it at home.

I get cardboard free from my local corner shop, and packing tape from the Pound shop. Some people used padded bamboo canes. 

A local carpet shop are happy to give me the cardboard inner rolls from the carpets, and I recently showed a local man how to make cat trees with them and offcuts and he sold them at Xmas.

If you have no money, plan to spend nothing and look around the pound shops and what other people throw away :)

You mean agility jumps? I normally order them online either ebay or amazon, or check out your local pet shop.

Mr.Tims:
Well you can start by making it yourself! 

If you have any type of wood a log (a long one preferably) and books to make it high you can add a book everytime to make it higher.

You can make them yourself, if you are clever, but as already suggested, you can buy most things from Ebay!
