From the back cover. Ruth Hobday gives a practical introduction to the world of agility, clearly illustrating her text with photographs and diagrams by Sandra Russell (of Russell Fine Art). Ruth runs the Hurricane Dog Training Centre in Shropshire and is well known for the time, effort and care she puts into every training session. Here in this exciting new book she shares the secrets of training and control, including training exercises. Ruth is well qualified to write such a volume having been involved with dog training for most of her life becoming interested in agility in its early days. She is the owner of Heidi, the Agility Club's Agility Dog of the Year 1987 and 1988.
