Introduction To Dog Agility

by Margaret Bonham
Paperback, 238 pages, Second edition 2009

From a happy customer of ours: "This book is FUN to read! As a collector of agility books, I look for certain criteria to make a book worth it's weight in gold, and this one has it. Not only does it have lots of helpful instructions to get a beginner on the road to agility training and competing, but it's big and fat too, with glossy color photos on every page. This book shouts QUALITY, and at a low price too. For me, it's a winner".
