Reseña del editor:

Agility Start to Finish is an all-inclusive book that touches on the aspects of training a dog in agility. In it, the author instructs the reader how to handle the dog while running the course, as well as covering each obstacle clearly and thoroughly. Agility Start to Finish suggests new ways of looking at fundamental concepts in agility and offers fresh new ideas when explaining things to students both human and canine. Puppies, best commands to use, and handling through the course are discussed in detail. In the section on obstacles, each chapter is dedicated to the individual obstacle and how to train the dog to that obstacle. Ms. Bauman, with Jessica Ajoux, also explains agility competition and how to participate in the trials, with helpful tips and advice that will aid the reader in preparing to compete. They have included a special chapter for the Border Collie and how this breed, and other herding breeds, handles differently then other dogs. For anyone who would enjoy doing agility with their dog at home, or for those who would like to compete in the ring, this is an excellent book to have!
