There are many skills to practice in agility, but most of us have limited time, space, and equipment. What if you had a go-to sourcebook of nested exercises and short courses ready to go any time you had a moment to practice? What if all you need for that practice is that sourcebook and a 40' x 60' space with 6 jumps, a tunnel, and a short set of weaves?
Ready to Run! Agility Skills & Drills for Small Spaces is that go-to book!
This book contains 10 exercise sets, each offering 5 or more training sequences, with 111 different sequences total. These sets focus on skills needed to run agility courses in every organization. You'll work on pinwheels, 270-degree turns, weaves, threadles, backsides, and more! Within each set of exercises, the sequences increase in difficulty, so you can start at the beginning and work through them sequentially or skip right to the more difficult sequences if they better match your skillset.
In addition, there are 10 small-space course layouts, each with 9 training course options nested within, ranging from beginner-level to very challenging, plus a bonus for a total of 91 courses. There's so much training you can do without having to move your equipment! Set a course and train for the whole week!
"This book contains a wealth of information! The descriptions of the drills are well thought out and the exercises will keep you and your dog busy for quite some time. This book is for beginner-through-advanced-level dog and handler teams. A must for your agility library!"
-Karen Holik, National and International Agility Medalist and long-time agility coach
