Agility course planning books/websites

A load of people in my street have clubbed together and got some agility equiment
and they have asked me to run classes!! gulp and yeeehaa

I have loads of ideas but would like more

Does anyone know of any good books of course setups?

I wanted to get the clean run exercise books but the shipping is twice the price of the book - which I thought was a little unfair

If not I will have a nosy on the internet and print some things out until I get my confidence


- on a really good note - I had a little run with my pair - and BOTH of them did amazing

and we had a load of people come and watch and want a little go really great!!

Wow, I want to live on your street!!! Most people around here dont have a clue what agility is!.

With regards to books im not sure, but the agility addicts forum has a course plan section that you could possibly use in the meantime

Are you going to become and Agility Club Approved Instructor?

Hopefully you are insured?



You can get software to design your own. The Clean Run books are very good, have you seen what is around in the Agility Warehouse?

I will deff look into becoming approved, I had been planning for APDT membership but I might go that way first

Yes I will get the insurance sorted before we start classes, I already had quotes lined up - but thanks for the reminder.

Ahh I might bite the bullet and get one of the clean run books if its worth it, I have some course design softwear but I just need help when I run out of ideas

Thankyou guys

and yup I know I am so lucky in this street we were just training with our dogs and we had 3 kids come and ask if they could help moving the jumps up and down and one wee boy planning courses for us to run really great fun!
