Hiya
I was wondering if anyone can recommend any good agility books for a beginner? I've started lessons, but I'm a but if a book worm so would like to read around the topic too

Thanks in advance

I'd be interested in this too. Tipsy, are you looking at doing it just for fun?

I can't recommend any because I haven't read any;

Dawn Weaver, Knowledge equals speed.
covers all aspects but assumes some knowledge.
Laurie Leach, beginners Guide and Intermediate Guide to Agility. U.S based but covers everything

Thanks

I have ordered the Laurie Leach beginners book, can't wait to have a read lol

Mainly for fun, but I would like to compete in a few local shows if we get good enough...but competing for fun if you know what I mean... i'm like the worlds least competitive person ha ha xx

You don't need to be super competitive to enter shows.
Its a way of measuring your progress through the grades.
You will get a few eliminations in the beginning.
So it's good to accept your bad days without getting annoyed.
Its like breed shows , lots of waiting around between events can make it a very long day.
3 30 second runs across a day is typical.

if you join the agility club you get a magazine every month which often has good training articles in.

Also a dvd Q-Me by Dave Munnings covers the basics up to 3 jumps.
Greg derritt dvd's, handling style
susan Salo dvd , jumping specifics.
Would get expensive owning everything.
You will get there with only your training club.
Its more about don't learn bad habits.
