Part IV

Exploring the World of Agility

In this part . . .

An agility course is the canine equivalent of a jungle gym — an intertwining blend of tunnels, jumps, bridges, and A-frames. Chapters 11 and 12 provide you with an overview of the sport, introduce agility commands, and get you familiar with the tools and equipment.

If the nuts and bolts of agility have captured your enthusiasm, then you’ll be excited to know how much more you have in store. In Chapters 13 and 14, you’ll get up close and personal with each agility obstacle as I explain a positive approach to training, from jumps and tunnels to teeters and weave poles. Chapter 15 explains the concept of sequencing and gives you some advice for troubleshooting challenges you may encounter.

In Chapter 16, I tell you about the differences between some of the top agility organizations. Each one has its own slant, competitive emphasis, and awarded titles. Course layout is also interpreted to enable you to prepare for the variety of sequences you’ll experience on the competitive circuit.
