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.

A resettable breakaway apparatus may include: a housing having an aperture. A plunger may extend through the aperture, and the plunger may be movably coupled to the housing. The plunger may have a plunger head, and the plunger head may be movable between a first position, in which the plunger head is relatively farther from the housing, and a second position, in which the plunger head is relatively closer to the housing. A tensioner may tension or compress the plunger head in the first position. The apparatus may further include a receiver having a receiver head. The housing may be coupled to a first object and the receiver may be coupled to a second object, and the apparatus may be configured to removably couple the objects together by engaging the plunger head with the receiver head so that the plunger head may be positioned between the first and second position.

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.

An improved agility system can include a first stanchion rotatably secured within a storage area of a first base by a shaft and rotatable at least ninety degrees from the storage area into an upright position with respect to the first base. The system can include a second stanchion rotatably secured within a storage area of a first base by a shaft and rotatable at least ninety degrees from the storage area into an upright position with respect to the second base, a retaining means formed within the stanchions, and a bar suspendable horizontally by the retaining means. Retaining means can be comprised of bore holes or notches formed at various distances along the stanchions from their respective shafts, metallic or magnetic strips formed along sides of the first and second stanchions, or metallic or magnetic elements disposed at various distances along sides of the first and second stanchions.

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.

Device for training people to a preferred posture during normal gait comprising of: at least a base for stabilizing at least one rail or post coupled to said base at least one gait regulating component, which will be arranged perpendicularly with respect to said rod or post and parallel to the floor surface, with said gait regulating component provided for defining an obstacle during the normal gait of a user to impose on the latter a predetermined movement of the foot, knee, and hip, facilitating the maintenance of the user's bust erected in a position of equilibrium, with the consequent lengthening of the pushing leg, the gradual transition of the weight of the user's body by the supporting foot posterior to that of the advancing leg, and the oscillation of the arm forward opposite to the lower limb that moves, with a final effect of a steady pace.

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.

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.

The plunger may have a plunger head, and the plunger head may be movable between a first position, in which the plunger head is relatively farther from the housing, and a second position, in which the plunger head is relatively closer to the housing. A tensioner may tension or compress the plunger head in the first position. The apparatus may further include a receiver having a receiver head. The housing may be coupled to a first object and the receiver may be coupled to a second object, and the apparatus may be configured to removably couple the objects together by engaging the plunger head with the receiver head so that the plunger head may be positioned between the first and second position.
