Very well-written

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!

Great Resource

Great bundle of information. Not only does it show you how to train your dog, it also provides a wealth of information on the sport itself (ie, organizations that host trials; how to get an unregistered dog indefinite listing privilege with AKC; what to expect at your first trial; how to build your own equipment, etc.) The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow and alternative instructions are given to fit different circumstances. All of the cautions, tips, summary charts, and photos set this book apart. I highly recommend it - even if you are in an agility class. It is an excellent reference.

Good for beginners

This was purchased in conjunction with 2 other beginners agility books.

It is helping me a lot in training both my dog and me as we start down the agility road.

PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS!!!

This book is wonderful. Easy to read and understand. Excellent color photos (not illustrations) that help explain and visualize each obstacle that is taught. Perfect first book for anyone interested in learning about dog agility. Thank you Laurie for writing this book!
