Dog Agility,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Dog Agility (Paperback)
This is a great book for pros and beginners alike! It has got what most qualifacations and obstacles are for the major agility associations; not to mention how to build a lot of the more simple ones. There are also great pictures of training to see how to do certain obstacles and so you can be able to see if your dog is doing it right. It also has instructions for any obstacle imaginable! I recommend this book to any one having trouble trying to pull off a double jump or to anyone who just thinks their dog could do this (which is a lot; all healthy dogs are capable of doing this!)!

Wowee! What a great book!,
By Chanisco "punkintoze" (New England, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Dog Agility (Paperback)
My newly-aquired shelter dog "Ticket" and I are new to agility. We are taking classes, but I wanted to learn as much as I could on my own. I did some research on books and decided to purchase Ms. Bonham's "Introduction to Agility" - and boy, did I make the right decision! This is an excellent book loaded with color photos, diagrams, and easy-to-follow instructions for training. She gives ideas on how to make agility equipment such as jumps, the tire, weave poles, etc. She also explains the rules of agility according to the various organizations that hold trials. I am very happy with my purchase! This book is so much more than what I thought it would be.

Great beginners book,
By Ashley Clifford (Crescent City, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Dog Agility (Paperback)
This is a very good book for the novice agility competitor. I use the diagrams for training in the back of the book for my agility classes. If you are just looking into this extreemly fun sport or just want a good book to read or are involved in Agility, get this book! It explains all about NADAC, USDAA, UKC, AKC, in every category, and more!
