I'm about to venture into the dog training section of the bookstore once
again, and figured I shouldn't go unprepared.

I want a Good, Easy-to-read, Easy-to-follow, How-to book on Agility for
beginners. An "Agility for dummies" type thing.

Specifically, I am looking for basic beginning exercises Macula and I can
work on in the backyard (ie: introducing weave poles, teaching hand
signals, etc.), and how to inexpensively assemble/build some basic equipment
(for example: what is the best thing to use to make weave poles and/or
guide wires, and how far apart are they supposed to be placed).

If it matters: should we ever get to competition it will be in Canada
(Ontario). I read you Agility Guys talking about different governing bodies
(?) for the sport, so if there are regional differences and books geared
towards them, I would appreciate a "local" version.

I look forward to your suggestions. (Just remember: EASY READ...after a
year of motherhood, I've basically decided the children have eaten my brain,
and I haven't found a replacement yet ;-P )
