Agility Books

Hello Dogsey Members!

I am hoping that someone can recommend some books that will clearly state rules and regulations on building agility courses and maybe also course plans? I would be very grateful for any guidance. There's a few available at Amazon but I'm not sure they contain the info I need, seeming to be geared more towards the training rather than courses themselves. I don't want to spend a lot of money on books that are not going contain the info that I specifically require. Thanks folks!

You could always go with the Kennel Club Agility and Flyball Regulations, obtainable from the KC website for £1.50 and revised every year. It contains all the specifications for the equipment but doesn't contain course plans. You will find some on the Agility Addicts forum but I have always used my own experience when setting courses for competition. If you don't want KC then I would suggest you look at the different websites for the alternative providers like UKA, BAA, etc.

I used to like the Clean Run books---U.S. but good for plans and training ideas.
