Non-constricting Saddlebags for stabilizing Dog Agility Tunnel (Blue)

Yes! These keep the tunnel from shifting around too much. The material is stronger than the saddlebags that came with the tunnel. I feel this was a good buy.

I have two 26" tunnels. I looked all over for bags that would fit. I got my first sets of these in 2021. You can see in the picture how they fit with the Velcro. It's not perfect, but it works and it holds! I had one rip which was my fault. I picked it up wrong. Now I make sure I have a good grip on it when I pick up a heavy bag. Even with the wolfhound going through, the bags hold well, and she loves her tunnel! I am buying another set for the 20 ft. tunnel. I have also used these when I set up a course with three tunnels and I use my cheap nylon 18" tunnel. If you leave it loose enough it doesn't smash the tunnel down yet holds it in place. I still have not found any other I like as well and you can't beat the price.

I have a MACH dog and a 16 month old Tervuren Female. I'm training her on everything in my backyard. I didn't have a tunnel and when I went to a friends to train, I saw she wasn't keen on going through a tunnel. So, I knew I needed more training time on the tunnel for her to be comfortable always going through with enthusiasm. Having a tunnel right at my house has really helped. I used the Rise 8 saddlebags because the ones that came with the tunnel I purchased didn't seem good. These are good, although on the 24" tunnel it's hard to get the velcro to match at the top without some struggle. If they just made the wrap 1.5 inches longer it would be perfect. They were easy to fill with sand. The straps seem like they might tear if you handled it with the straps, so I just hold onto the large part of the bag overlap part to carry them. They are worth the money for sure.

For the price these are OK and if its just for minor back yard tunnel use they are OK. Not suitable for large, fast dogs for more than one or two tunnel repetitions. Have to be very careful in moving them as the seams will tear if you have a lot of weight in them which you need to keep them in place. I used these for backyard training for 3 border collies.

I was initially concerned about the reviews with these tunnel bags tearing so fast so I only ordered one set to try them out. Now I just got the bags and only used them once, but I am really liking them. The PVC is soft and so it really snugs itself around the tunnel. The wider velcro tabs on the top secure the bags over the tunnel. I didn't need instructions as some do, I just filled up gallon size Ziploc bags full of sand and so far I have 3 bags in each. That seems to be enough for my border collie who flies through the tunnel - I probably wouldn't have needed that much sand with my other dog as she goes through at a more "normal" pace. I love the large opening to put the sand in. I could easily arrange the sand bags to fill out the form of the tunnel bags. I only have 4 stars for durability as I have not used them for any length of time. I think they will last for me as I don't keep my tunnel or the bags outside overnight and put them in the garage. I got a email from the business owners stating to use the handles to ensure that the bags don't rip. That makes sense - my guess is the softness of this type of PVC material could make it a little easier to rip if not handled properly but I love the softness because that's what you need to get a nice, snug fit around the tunnel. I have ordered a second pair so I can have these on both ends and my old bags with the old design can just support the middle. They are commercial grade and tough, but the tunnel will "walk" because they don't give that tight fit at the openings. So I am sure a third pair will be on my list in the future for the middle.

These have held up for years outside 24/7. Other brands fell apart after 2 years.They hold my tunnels well and the price can’t be beat!!

I have received my 3rd set of tunnel bags. The first ones have been in my field for months now and look good. I have fast, strong dogs and the bags are doing a good job of holding the tunnel. I got the 3rd set as the tunnel is long (20') and really needed another set. Very good value for the money.

I have some rather large German Shepherd Dogs and they LOVE running the tunnel. I was having trouble with the entry not being stabilized and was worried the younger dog would develop a hesitancy to enter, so I looked for a solution. I came up this, ordered it, filled both sides with sand and now my tunnel is really stable. Great, affordable solution. I highly recommend this for your agility tunnels.
