Best features:- The jumps and weaves are lightweight and easy to assemble. I liked them because they could be used indoors as well as outdoors. They pack flat when not in use. I thought the poles were a good diameter for visibility.

Worst features:-
The only disappointment was the packaging.

Delivery: The goods were delivered in good condition in a heavy duty black bag which unfortunately was not puppy-proof. One of the spikes was damaged but the manufacturer was happy to replace. A box might have been better.

Instructions: Simple instructions with clear diagrams.

About JesseJump
Jessejump was started after Neale Hardwick successfully trained his Weimaraner Jesse to weave using some poles that he inserted into the ground. Attaching a sharp spike into one end of the pole for support enabled him to stage and angle the poles as he wanted. 

When other members of Neale's club commented on Jesse’s overnight improvement, Neale agreed to try and make some basic weave poles for the others. Thus the removable spike system was born!

He used the same basic design to make lightweight jump hurdles for practicing in the park. Not content with that Neale developed a deluxe base so that the equipment could also sit on the patio. In 2003 Jessejump added their own lightweight version of a winged hurdle to the range.

Neil lives in Warwick and trains with Leamington Spa DTC based at Warwickshire College in Moreton Morrell.
