5.0 out of 5 stars
First book to apply obedience to agility,
By "Mike" Williquette (mikew@sunline.net) (Punta Gorda FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Switching Sides: Making the Transition from Obedience to Agility (Hardcover)
This book is a must for anyone training in obedience who is or wants to train for agility. Kay explains in a very clear and concise way the benefits and problems of running an obedience dog in agility. She shows you how to transfer you training in obedience to help in agility training. There are numerous diagrams and photos showing you how to train agility equipment and strategy. Agility terms and lingo are defined. This is a reference book to be refered back to for folks just starting agility, and for the more experinced person to pick up some pointers.

Explain the relation between the two types of trainig,
This review is from: Switching Sides: Making the Transition from Obedience to Agility (Hardcover)
This is great book for the people that want to make a conection between obedience and agility. It puts the obedience training to good use and shows the differences between the two types of training. It also contains great info on positioning during the exercises. Also gives diferent comands used for each exercise so you can choose the one that fits you better. Is a really good book and very easy to read. The chapter dedicated to building the equipment is great. I already use some of the instructions and the jumps came out perfect.
