Great begginer book January 4, 2009
S. Yen
I found this book because my dog really enjoys training classes so I thought agility might be something we should look into. This book gives good overview about the sport, the desired dog personality, basic agility course. I also like the author's writing and the overall tone of the book. Plus, good colorful pictures through out the whole book. This is a book I'll keep it on my bookshelf for awhile even if my dog is not ready to get into dog agility yet.
Well Presented Training Guide. November 3, 2008
Carlos E. Rangel
This training is very well presented, with lots of color pictures that make very easy its use.
a must read if you are going to do agility October 10, 2008
W. Dietrich (Las Vegas)
My aussie is on her third agility class and we love it. Got the book for a birthday gift from someone who thought we might enjoy it. My first thought was what am I going to learn from a book when I am paying close to a $100 a month for classes. Turns out there was alot of really useful information packed into this book without being over loaded. The writing style is easy to follow and flows very well. Now when I do my training I have a few tips that the instructor has not shown us which has made learing much easier.
The only thing I would like to mention is dog agility takes up alot of space and the equipment is somewhat expensive. It is not likely that you will be able to do this in your backyard. You should make sure that training is offered in your area.
 Great book, even for not so begginers August 27, 2008

agility speak are great!
Great resource! July 31, 2008
L. Fazzone (NY)
This book is a great resourse for those who are interested in agility, but don't know where to start, or those beginners looking for some pointers and training tips. I also really enjoyed chapter 21 "Minding Your Agility Manners" which tells you what to expect at competition, and how to avoid doing anything considered faux pas.
