Jumping from A to Z: Teach your dog to soar
By M. Christine Zink
List price: $19.95
IF your dog loves to compete and to jump and be agile, then this is the book to help you keep on track with training and practice.
The book gives a basic guide through all aspects of the sport of agility from the physics of the dog as it is jumping, to exercises to help the trainer improve the dog's performance.
Anyone interested in the canine bone structure and how the muscles work, or how to keep the agility dog in condition and fit, should read this book and refer to it whenever questions arise. Whether for obedience, flyball or agility, or for other demanding roles such as Search and Rescue, you will never regret the purchase of this easy-to-understand book.
The methods of training and the information on exercise, food and health will keep your dog at a peak of fitness right into a healthy old age. Your dog is ready for anything - from a long walk to a swim to a rescue operation to an obedience or agility demonstration.
A book that you will want to keep nearby in case you need to check on your own methods of training and fitness.
I know a few gundogs that could benefit from some training and exercise as described - especially in the off-season when they tend to stay around home doing not much at all. A fit pet, like a fit owner, is a much happier and healthier animal.
