| Great Book, September 21, 2011 |
| Reviewer: Dixie Sick |
| Love the way this book is written... it is in simple terms that make understanding the concept easy. It takes you from the very beginning and without expensive equipment. Great book for either the beginner, intermediate or advance agility person who wants help in their training. |

| great for beginners/cross over trainers, August 4, 2011 |
| Reviewer: Leonore ~ Chile Agility |
| Love the layout and format. Content is excellent for handlers and dog trainers new to agility and looking for a proven method that will not only lay a great foundation of skills but also prevent a lot of common rookie mistakes. It's also a well-written treatise on R+ training for experienced trainers that are looking to 'do better' by crossing over to R+ techniques. Trainers and handlers with advanced R+ skills may not as get as much from it, however. There are a lot of creative pre-obstacle ideas and the progressive nature of the program is clearly presented. |

| Great ideas!, May 10, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Kristen V |
| This book goes everywhere with me and is by my bed at night! I'm using many of the concepts and phrasing in all of my classes, even for basic/manners training. The authors do a great job of breaking down handler skills and teaching that skill set separately from the training. This is one of my favorite training books and by far the best agility introduction book I've read. |
