Very well-written Apr 04, 2007
By Vegan Mom
Driving in through the desert a couple years ago, we found a border collie mix who was in great need of food and water. Long story short...he and my 12 year old son are together all the time now. Being a very smart dog, he needs entertainment and to be challenged. My daughter gave this to her brother for his birthday. It has been wonderful!

The pictures are very clear and go along with descriptions and directions. My son did a report for school using this book, and he has had an awful lot of fun working with his dog on the various tricks. The book is clear enough that a 12 year old can figure it out, but is thorough enough to be informative for adults. We have learned so much with this book. It tells the history of dog agility, how to get started teaching your dog, how to do advanced tricks, and how to build the obsticles.

This is a wonderful book to get you started with dog agility. It is also detailed enough to keep you busy with many different activities that will entertain both you and your dog.

If you only get one dog agility book, this is the book for you. My son and I HIGHLY recommend this book!

Useful for competitors and spectators alike! Jul 09, 2006
By S. C. Reynolds
This is an easy to follow guide to training your dog in the sport of agility. It is also useful to the spectator who would like to understand the fine points of running an agility course. The instructions are clear, with good quality photos that show the dogs in action. There are highlighted boxes calling attention to important points, and tips on how to handle problems that crop up in training. All of the training is positive, and stress is put on having fun with your dog. The author shows a sense of humor that is a necessity when working with dogs! I enjoyed this book.

Great Guide Nov 09, 2006
By D. Jones
This book is a great guide to beginning agility. Even if you and your dog are taking classes, this is a great re-enforcement of what is taught in the class. It will prevent costly errors in training for the beginner. Not only does the book explain what to do, it explains what not to do and why. I found this book to be very helpful for me.

Something for Everyone Aug 21, 2006
By Marcia Galick
This book is for every one who has even thought about agility, wondered what the heck agility was, or even for those who have competed in this addictive sport.

It is written clearly, concisely and with great photos emphasizing the actions being described.

Try it, you'll like it.
