An Introduction to Dog Agility
Dog Agility is one of the fastest growing dog sports. This book is intended for the beginner who is looking to learn and have fun with his or her dog. It's a great sport for anyone with a dog -- your dog doesn't have to be a purebred. I cover selecting a dog (if you don't already have one), conditioning your dog, nutrition, health, travelling with dogs, entering a trial, the differences between AKC, UKC, USDAA, and NADAC agility, agility rules, training on obstacles, handling fundamentals and problems. I emphasize positive training techniques and focus on having fun with your dog.

This book is full color with step-by-step photographs showing you how to train your dog on obstacles and in sequencing. You'll see a variety of breeds represented from Yorkies to Great Danes. Look for the white Alaskan Malamute -- that's my own dog, Kiana. She's ranked as the #6 Novice Agility Malamute in 1999.
I hope you'll enjoy this book -- I had a lot of fun writing it. This is my second book, my first is Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Fun Introduction to a Fun Sport
14. November 2000
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I waited to buy a dog agility book until this was published, and I am glad I did. Everything about the book smacks of quality, from the gorgeous color photos to the full color layout to the little notes and tips. She carefully avoids the impersonal "it" by naming fictional dogs "Ace" and "Sierra". It is a clever invention that really does help in making the material more understandable. It is attention to details like this that make it better than some books I've browsed and declined to buy.
The book covers most aspects of the sport, from selecting a breed to giving the actual agility rules from the various governing bodies (including the UKC!). She gives instructions on how to build some backyard agility equipment; I've already built the tire jump from her plans, and it was effortless. I wish she had given plans for some of the harder equipment, like teeter boards or A-frames, but those are bigger projects requiring some thought anyways.
Her large section on handling and sequencing seems overly long... until you try it on your own. I'll swallow my pride and admit now that it is tougher than it looked. I am glad she spent a lot of space on this important information. I'll now go back and carefully read this section over again.
This is a book I won't quickly outgrow. I feel like it will be useful all the way through my first few trials, and then some. And all the while, it will look dang good on my coffee table!
I'm glad I waited for it!

The Perfect Start For You and Your Dog
3. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I purchased this book in anticipation of adopting a mixed breed from my local shelter. Cracker Jack is a australian shepard/sheltie mix who I thought would be the perfect dog for me to start with agility training. This book is so helpful in learning the skills myself and with the teaching of the skills to my dog. The color photos are wonderful, much better than having fuzzy black and white photos as in the other books offered, and the book is a very clear, concise, easy to read, step by step manual. The most suprising thing was that it showed not just the standard breed of dog that comes to my mind for agility (i.e. australian shepards, shelties, border collies, golden retrievers, etc.) but it also showed a wide range of other dogs who can benefit and succeed from agility training and competition like the terriers, corgis, even the bulldog and even the giant great danes! I highly recommend this well planned and designed book for anyone interested in agility training of your dog (no matter what the breed or size!) and for those who simply want to strengthen their bond with their pet.

Dog Agility
7. April 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
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!)!
