Overall this is a great book for anyone starting agility. It was my first agility book and gave me some very insightful information. Very clear training instructions and obstacle descriptions. I appreciated the overviews of the agility venues like AKC, UKC, NADAC, and USDAA, though as I researched further, I found that some of the title requirements listed in the book were out of date. But for someone who is just beginning their agility adventure, this is the book for you.

Pros: Very clear obstacle descriptions and instrctions for training as well as overviews of agility venues.

Cons: Title information and requirements are out of date as well as some competition rules.

Overall a very well written book with clear instruction, good pictures and explanation of why it works. A great book for someone just starting into agility. It provides direction to lay the foundation for a serious competitor or backyard enthusiast.

Pros: Clear instructions and good pictures

Cons: Basic-not really for advanced work

This book was amazing and easy to understand. I email the author and she is the neicest person you will ever meet. She explains HOW TO train, and what to look for in your dog for agility. She also lists some how-to build items. I love this book so much! My FAVORITE book ever. A MUST HAVE for all agility lovers.

Pros: Great book, pictures, easy to understand

Cons: NONE

I was given this book as a gift after having done agility for a couple of years. At first I thought it would not have anything useful to me. However, it is a great resource for comparing the various clubs, rules, and titles. I would highly recommend it as part of an agility library.

Pros: Compares all the venues

Cons: None

great for starting out with agility training. Good pictures and instructions. Great starter.

Pros: good for beginning trainers

Cons: first step book only
