Description
Jim Hutchins has been experimenting with different methods for building Agility obstacles since he got started in Agility in 1994. In 1997, he started marketing his equipment plans under the name of HOGA Agility. Over the past two years, Jim and the editors at Clean Run Productions have been working together to further refine each HOGA plan.
