We are training for flyball now, but going back to agility come January with hopes of entering novice at ABC 2009
How old is your pup? Whats the obedience background? Best thing to do is find a trainer you like and work with them. At first getting all thr foundation work down is key, then you move on to equiptment. www.cleanrunmag.com
Some good site are - http://www.dogpatch.org/agility/ http://www.cleanrun.com/
On clean run they have lots of publications and DVD that you can buy. It helps alot with working with your dog at home. There are IMO two types of agility classes. One for fun, builds confidence in the dog and great for socialization and the other competitive that trains both the dog and the owner fundamentals in order to compete. So my advice, is to find a trainer and start working from there
Good Luck!
