How to Make your Own Dog Walk Planks

I'm a horribly messy painter so as you can see in some parts I just got paint all over myself lol

I used good ol' blue and yellow for my dog-walk but feel free to paint it to whatever your heart so desires.

No planks on mine... mostly due to the fact that if I wanted them I'd have to cut them myself and I'd probably end up cutting off my own fingers... So I just made sure it was nice and grippy :)

How do you know when to stop painting blue and start painting yellow for the contacts? Does it matter?

[MACHGreyhound]

@cheerfulchip197 I went to the AKC's website and read the rules and regulations for agility trials. They have a section all about equipment and it tells you how long to make the yellow :)

I saw someone asked the same question... yet was not answered.. what does the sand do?? O_o dose it make the paint color brighter in the long run?

[MACHGreyhound]

@lillytimelord I'm pretty sure I answered it earlier. But the Sand is for traction. The newest Dog-walks actually have rubber on them to give the dog the best grip. This way even if it starts to rain a bit your dog can still get up the planks.

@horsymad100 so the dogs have traction.
