New, from the award-winning team that introduced the most respected dog agility book on the market—The Beginner’s Guide to Dog Agility—comes its much anticipated sequel: The Intermediate’s Guide to Dog Agility: Take Your Game to the Next Level! by Laurie Leach ($24.95; ISBN: 978-0-7938-0637-9).
At the beginning of agility training, dogs and their owners learn to perform obstacles safely and completely, completing sequences of up to six obstacles in a competitive novice course. At the intermediate level, the path a dog must travel is more difficult. A tighter course, which can include up to 20 obstacles, requires a wider array of handling techniques that enable the dog and human partner to communicate clearly, quickly, and confidently.
In this indispensable new volume, The Intermediate’s Guide to Dog Agility builds on the beginner skills and prepares dogs and their human partners for the next challenge in this exciting and rewarding sport. More than 200 full-color photographs and maps explain and show specific skills like front and rear crosses, lateral distance, serpentines, shoulder pulls, and speed changes. The positive, reward-based training techniques explain in detail how to handle longer sequences, manage nerves in the agility ring, help memorize courses, and use signals and body language for effective communication with your dog.
Packed with useful, practical tips for success on the competitive agility circuit and guidelines for solving intermediate training challenges, The Intermediate’s Guide to Dog Agility Training will help you gain the skills and confidence you need to succeed with your dog.
