I've got a couple of good books that I ordered through Crosskeys - will look them out tomorrow.They are in my "still to be read" pile - all I know is that one of them is a clicker based one

Oo-err; I find that website a bit scary tbh - are there any sites that are less competition-based?

A lot of the specialist terms etc used on this site are a bit beyond me at the moment, the article about "doping dogs in agility" horrifies me, and the adverts for "specialist footwear" are making me wonder if it's what I really want to do ph34r

I have to say I bought some hockey shoes (the ones with plastic studs) for doing agility in and they saved me from falling on my a*** in the mud last weekend, it was very slippy and I skidded but stayed upright thanks to the shoes!  ;) They aren't exactly stylish though  :lol:
