Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a freestanding and portable climbing apparatus for pet training and exercise. A climbing apparatus includes a platform having a top surface that defines a walking surface for a pet. The climbing apparatus includes a first post, a second post, a third post, and a fourth post having top ends coupled to a respective corner of the platform that raise the platform from a ground surface such that a top surface of the platform is an elevated surface. A first ramp is coupled to the first end of the platform supporting the platform at the first end, and a second ramp is coupled to the second end of the platform opposite that of the first end supporting the platform at the second end. One of a first platform foot, a second platform foot, a first ramp foot, and a second ramp foot are formed of polyethylene.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a climbing apparatus for pet training and exercise. The climbing apparatus for exercising or training pets may include, for example, a first ramp directly coupled to a second ramp at a coupling point located at a peak of a hill, the first ramp and the second ramp having an angle of incline that is substantially similar, thereby forming a substantially symmetrical and triangular structure. The first ramp and the second ramp can include supports projecting from a surface of the first ramp and the second ramp to facilitate navigation of a path that comprises an incline of the first ramp and a decline of the second ramp. In addition, the supports can render the apparatus free-standing and portable.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a freestanding and portable climbing apparatus for pet training and exercise. A climbing apparatus includes a rectangular-shaped platform having a first end, a second end, and a plurality of corners. Posts having top ends are coupled to a respective one of the corners of the rectangular-shaped platform that raise the rectangular-shaped platform from a ground surface. A first ramp and a second ramp are coupled to ends of the rectangular-shaped platform. A first platform foot is coupled to bottom ends of the first post and the second post, and a second platform foot is coupled to bottom ends of the third post and the fourth post. Ramp sides are positioned along and protrude above a first side of the first ramp, a second side of the first ramp, a first side of the second ramp, and a second side of the second ramp.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a freestanding and portable climbing apparatus for pet training and exercise. A climbing apparatus includes a platform being rectangular and supported vertically at each corner by a first post, a second post, a third post, and a fourth post. The first post and the second post are coupled to a first platform foot, and the third post and fourth post are coupled to a second platform foot. A first ramp is coupled to a first end of the platform and a second ramp is coupled to a second end of the platform opposite that of the first end, where the first ramp and the second ramp have an angle of incline that is substantially similar. As such, the climbing apparatus is freestanding, portable, and substantially symmetrical.

Abstract: Various embodiments for a self-tipping hurdle for pet training and fitness are described. A self-tipping hurdle may be portable, freestanding, and substantially symmetrical, where the hurdle is not required to be attached to the ground or other surface during operation. The self-tipping hurdle can include a first hurdle base having a first irregular octagonal cross-section; a second hurdle base having a second irregular octagonal cross-section; a first hurdle post coupled to the first hurdle base; a second hurdle post coupled to the second hurdle base; and at least one hurdle board disposed between the first hurdle post and the second hurdle post. The self-tipping hurdle can be configured to rotate a predetermined amount prior to a rotation of the self-tipping hurdle being substantially impeded when the at least one hurdle board is contacted by a pet.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a climbing apparatus for pet training and exercise. A hill climbing apparatus for exercising or training pets may include, for example, a first ramp directly coupled to a second ramp at a coupling point located at a peak of the hill, the first ramp and the second ramp having an angle of incline that is substantially similar, thereby forming a substantially symmetrical and triangular structure. The first ramp and the second ramp can include supports projecting from a surface of the first ramp and the second ramp to facilitate navigation of a path that comprises an incline of the first ramp and a decline of the second ramp. In addition, the supports can render the apparatus free-standing and portable.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a freestanding and portable bridge for pet training and exercise. A bridge for exercising or training pets may include, for example, a platform positioned between a first ramp and a second ramp that have a same or substantially similar angle of incline to form a symmetrical bridge shape, the platform being raised from a ground surface and supported vertically by posts. The bridge may include safety rails protruding above a surface of the platform formed by platform sides to direct a pet along a path formed by the surface of the platform and the ramps.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a balance beam apparatus for exercising or training pets that may include, for example, a balance beam having a first distal end, a second distal end, and a portion raised from a ground surface, the first distal end of the balance beam being positioned on a first beam base, the second distal end of the balance beam being positioned on a second beam base, where the first beam base comprises a first beam and a second beam stacked vertically to form steps leading up to the balance beam, and where the second beam base includes a third beam and a fourth beam stacked vertically to form steps leading down from the balance beam. The first beam base and the second beam base may have a width substantially similar to a width of the balance beam. The balance beam apparatus may be free-standing and portable.
