Agility Training: The Fun Sport for All Dogs

I am only 10 years old and I taught my australian shepherd agility. He learned a lot and I could understand it.

This book is great! Detailed enough for the advanced, yet easy enough to understand for the beginner. Detailed instructions on building your own jumps, see-saws, weave poles, etc. make the book even better!

I found this book easy to read and understand. Ideas for building your own jumps and where to go to find pre-made obstacles. Introduces the dog without scaring it to every manner of jumps you might find in the ring. Also gives the handler a clear and definite way to deal with dogs who run out or jump. Talks about how the handler should position her/himself to the dog and the basic obedience commands needed and/or used. A must for everyone interested in the sport as well as those who have excitable dogs and need a way to channel that energy.

This was a great book. I bught for my dog to give him something to do. He was so smart and it seemed a waste brain power not to teach something challenging. This book is easy to understand and even tells how to build ALL of the equipment. You HAVE to buy this book if you want to train agility. It's great.

This was a great book. It shows how to pick a good agility dog, right from the start, all aspects of agility trainning as well as obedience training, and shows how to build your own agility obsticles, which came in very handy for me. -Elizabeth Alve-Hedegaar
