Book shows permanent agility stations as set up in the Pet Park at the Humane Society of Indianapolis. Agility stations for your puppy or small dog in the home can be the stairs, a picnic table or a board on the floor across a doorway. Or you can build your own permanent (or moveable) stations in your backyard! Most agility books are filled with rules and techniques that might scare or discourage those who don't plan to compete and are just looking for something fun to do with their dogs. This guide shows you how to help your dog master the obstacles, build trust and confidence, and just have fun together! Any size dog can do agility, with any age handler; the book shows a little girl and a Min Pin doing most of the stations. Gentle, positive methods are emphasized.
