When is the tunnel obstacle used in a agility competition? Depending upon the course and
where the competition is run, the tunnel will be placed in varying places on the course.
It's important to get to the competition a little early, to do a practice run through
to identify where the tunnel will be placed. Since it is a harder command, it can sometimes
scare your dog, so you want to be sure to identify the obstacles before and after the
tunnel to give your dog adequate space and time to approach and clear it. Depending upon
where the tunnel is placed will be important, since it is a little more challenging. If
it's placed towards the end of the course, it may have a higher difficulty rating, than
if it's placed more at the beginning. Also, if it's closer to different obstacles, it
might be a little more challenging for your dog to identify the tunnel and actually execute
it.
