Thunder Tunnel is a non-sanctioned, challenging tunnel experience for Jack Russell Terriers. This is a timed event with the terrier working their way through an above ground tunnel. The tunnel has a clear front allowing you to see how your dog maneuvers the tunnel. The tunnel consists of a series of obstacles – an incline, a decline, roller, ball pit and a stinky rat at the end.
