Rising Star Agility Equipment/About Us

ABOUT US

We live in the Flathead Valley of Montana with our three working agility dogs, one in training and two cats. Attending as many NADAC trials as our schedule and budget will allow. Our goal is to provide agility equipment for all levels of agility that is easy to use, transport and store, and that is safe for the dogs. We are constantly looking at better designs that continue to meet competition requirements.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

In 2002, we acquired an exceptionally intelligent, athletic and eager to please puppy who was rescued from the freezing cold at a nearby reservation. After several obedience classes, and many tricks, it was clear this dog would be capable of much more. Shemaiah and Jody began training, then trialing--a learning process that continues today! Jody has a background in drafting and construction, and is continually looking at ways to improve the standard equipment to better meet training and competition needs, and to accomodate the trainer's need for easy transport and storage. His creativity and vision has resulted in Rising Star Agility Equipment.

EQUIPMENT

The equipment is carefully designed with input from agility participants and judges. Quality materials that are lightweight and durable are selected, carefully cut and welded, and then each piece is powdercoated individually for long-lasting, durable use in all kinds of weather conditions. Often the equipment is left out during the Montana winters, with little to no signs of wear. We strive to make each piece in compliance with competition regulations and guidelines. There are no molds; each piece of every product is handmade, so if there is a short delay in your order, that is the reason. We are continually adding to the items we have to offer, so check back frequently, or give us a call.
