Book Reviews of Agility Start to Finish

Book Review: Agility Training-What it is and how to master it!
Summary: 4 Stars

Agility Start to FinishDiane Bauman is the master when it comes to competitive obedience. The thing that I love about Ms. Bauman's books is that she writes so that it is possible to understand why she does what she does and also makes it possible for the dog owner to succeed. This is a book that is not for the novice owner. This is an excellent book for someone who is interested in the sport of agility and the "art" of more advanced obedience training. Ms. Bauman pooh-poohed everyone who said that an Afghan Hound is stupid and un-trainable when she trained one to Obedience Trial Champion level. That's impressive!! This book is a must have for anyone seriously interested in the sport of dogs and dog training. A keeper!

Summary of Agility Start to Finish

The first book to cover agility from all aspects, all levels! You'll find something for everyone: from pet owners wanting to have some fun with their dog to serious competitors looking for ways to shave seconds off their score. Starting with puppy training and ending with top level agility competition, Bauman explains each stage of training and each obstacle. Photos and diagrams clearly demonstrate every step.

You ll learn why and how to use body language to communicate with your dog; what you should and should not do with a young agility prospect; how to chart your dog's progress through the various levels; how each new skill builds on a previous one; training methods that work on all different breeds; handling techniques that can take seconds off your score, and much, much more.
