Find Dog Agility Course Map Sizes Fast! - Video
13 Jun 2025
I found a handy web tool that you can use to measure course maps and get their sizes by highlighting a dog walk, teeter, a frame, or weaves.
I’ve made a video that goes through the few steps:
- Upload course map by drag-drop or clicking the “Choose image” button.
- Maximize the window by clicking the Expand button.
- Use your mouse/finger to tap-drag from the start to the end of the dog walk, teeter, A frame, or weaves.
- Enter the length of the obstacle (from the table below) into the “Know dimension” entry field.
- Use your mouse/finger to tap-drag along the width of the course. The tool will display the calculated width.
- Repeat for the height to get its length.
Examples
Here’s an example map drawn in Smarter Agility Designer (SAD) where I drew line #1 the length of the weaves, entered 7 (meters) in the known dimensions box, drew line #2 for the map width, and then drew line #3 for the course height. The tool calculated the width as 37.83 meters and height as 24.89 meters. So the course is likely 40 m x 25 m.
Here’s an example map drawn in Clean Run Course Designer (CRCD) where I drew line #1 the length of the weaves, entered 22 (feet) in the known dimensions box, drew line #2 for the map width, and then drew line #3 for the course height. The tool calculated the width as 70.18 feet and height as 113.46 feet. So the course is likely 70 ft x 110 ft.
Here are the values you’ll need to type in the “Known dimension” box for the obstacle you decide to highlight. You’ll probably want to use meters for non-US/Canada course maps since the field size will likely be in whole meters.
| Obstacle | Feet | Meters |
|---|---|---|
| A Frame | 14.2 | 4.3 |
| Dog Walk | 34.6 | 10.5 |
| Seesaw | 11.3 | 3.4 |
| Weaves CRCD* | 22.0 | 6.6 |
| Weaves SAD* | 23.0 | 7.0 |
| *Measure your weaves from the middle of the first pole to middle of the last pole. CRCD measures 2' center to center; for a total distance of 11 * 2 = 22'. SAD appears to use FCI specs of 0.6m pole edge to pole edge and 0.04m diameter poles; for a center to center distance of 11 * 0.64 = 7.04 m. | ||
If you use my AC Master App you can enter the map size, choose where your 0,0 is, and find the location of each obstacle by tapping on the map. If you have the Masters Subscription you will get the location of each obstacle automatically:
