The Physical AgilityBooks Collection 📚🐾

Following my post about shipping earlier, I had a couple of messages from people who didn’t realise I still stocked physical books! 😂

This year I added two new workbooks to the collection: the Agility Workbook and Young Agility Dog Workbook, both packed with quick-build exercises and coaching points throughout.

Alongside those are the Yard & Garden Drills collection, 4 Jumps 1 Tunnel, Weave Challenge, Decision-Making Genius and the classic Skills, Drills & Thrills.

And for keeping track of your training, there’s the Agility Performance Record. 📝

All of the physical training books are also available as digital downloads. 💻

I’m shipping physical orders from the UK this week before I head away, so if you’ve been thinking about ordering one, now is a very good time! 📦🌍

A little physical book & shipping update! 📚🐾

I’ve had a few physical book orders heading out recently, so I thought it was worth giving everyone a quick update, particularly those ordering from North America.

Every order is normally packed and dispatched within a few days, but international delivery times have been a little unpredictable lately. Some books have reached North America in under two weeks, while others have taken four or even five weeks to arrive.

Unfortunately, once they’ve left me I don’t have much control over the journey, and there doesn’t seem to be much consistency to it! So if you’re ordering internationally, please allow a little extra time for your book to make its way through the postal system and customs. 🇬🇧✈️🇺🇸🇨🇦

On a more positive note, I’ve got a good selection of training books available at the moment. 📚

The Agility Workbook – exercises designed to make you think, problem-solve and develop your training rather than simply follow a course map.

Yard & Garden Drills – practical training setups when you don’t have a huge amount of space or equipment available.

Weave Challenge – focused exercises to develop understanding, independence and confidence through the weaves.

And if waiting several weeks for the post doesn’t sound particularly appealing… 😂 all the workbooks and Yard & Garden series are available as instant digital downloads 📲

One Jump at a Time: Agility Foundations is a unique digital download, so there’s no international shipping, no customs and no waiting for the post! It focuses on building a clear understanding of individual jump behaviours and verbal cues before bringing those skills into sequencing.

I’m away from the end of this week, but physical orders will still be packed and dispatched while I’m away – I’ve recruited Mum to AgilityBooks shipping headquarters. 😂❤️

So if you’ve been thinking about adding another training book to the collection, I’ll put the shop link in the comments below. 👇

And thank you, as always, to everyone around the world who continues to order and train from my books. ❤️🐾

FREE DRILL FRIDAY… sort of 😂

With everything going on getting ready for AWC, I haven’t had chance to put together a brand-new Free Drill Friday this week.

But if you’ve missed any of the previous ones, there are plenty of free drills and training resources waiting for you on the Agility Books Free Resources page. 🎯

So rather than rushing something out for the sake of it, this week’s Free Drill Friday is your chance to go back and find one you haven’t trained yet.

Which one has been your favourite so far?

I’ll put the link below 👇

4 Jumps. 1 Tunnel. Loads to train. 🔥

After sharing the new free exercise on Friday, I thought I’d properly reintroduce the book it came from.

Yard & Garden Drills: 4 Jumps 1 Tunnel is now back in print.

Every setup in the book uses just 4 jumps and 1 tunnel, with small-space drills, simple coaching points and plenty of handling options to work through. It’s designed for people training at home, in gardens, smaller fields or anywhere you want to get useful training done without setting out a huge course.

It was originally released a few years ago and became one of the most popular Yard & Garden Drills books, so it’s been really nice bringing a physical edition back.

If you downloaded Friday’s free exercise and enjoyed the format, this is the full collection it came from. 👀

Physical copies are available again now, and there’s also a digital version for anyone who prefers instant access.

I’ll put the link in the first comment 👇

If you already have the original edition, let me know how long you’ve had yours 😂

FREE FRIDAY 🐾

A new Yard & Garden Drills: 4 Jumps 1 Tunnel exercise is now available to download from the Free Resources page on AgilityBooks.

It’s in the same simple style as the original book:
4 jumps, 1 tunnel, 2 sequences and a few handling choices to work through.

And while we’re on the subject… after quite a few people asking over the years, the physical printed edition of 4 Jumps 1 Tunnel is back in a small reprint.

It was originally released in 2020 and became one of my most popular small-space training books, so it’s been really nice bringing it back for people who either missed it first time around or are newer to agility.

If you try the free exercise this weekend, tell me where you’re setting it up! In the garden, yard, training field, indoor venue, wherever you train 👇

And if you already have the original book, feel free to say hello in the comments too 😂

Follow the Skills2Success page for more free training ideas, new resources and future book releases.

I’ll put the link to the free download and the book in the comments 👇🔥

A little reminder about one of our most popular training resources 👇

Agility Foundations: One Jump at a Time is all about building clarity, independence and precision from the simplest possible setup: one jump.

Inside, it breaks down the 10 core jump behaviours used in modern agility, including loose turns, tight wraps, backside behaviours, threadles, bypasses and the verbal cues that go with them. It’s designed to help dogs understand the correct jump behaviour rather than simply follow handler movement.

It’s an instant-download PDF, so you can start working through it straight away and keep coming back to the progressions as your training develops.

Someone messaged me this week asking where they could find it, so I thought it was probably worth giving it another little share 😂

I’ll put the link in the comments 👇

A little love for the books this week ❤️

I’ve had a couple of really nice messages recently from people working through the Agility Workbook and Young Agility Dog Workbook:

“I really enjoyed working through the modern challenging drills and the handling options available. You need to make another one!”

“My physical copy has just arrived and I’m going to be setting up a couple of the drills this weekend at home. There’s so much content, thank you.”

Both workbooks are available as physical books or instant PDF downloads, so you can choose whichever format suits your training best.

Inside you’ll find plenty of drills, different handling ideas and Coach’s Eye training points to help you think about the detail behind the exercise, not just run the sequence.

We’ve added a lot of free resources to the website recently too, but this week I thought the actual books deserved a bit of attention 😂❤️📚

Well… that got slightly out of hand 😂

Nearly 40,000 views and over 1,600 comments later, I think it’s fair to say you enjoyed the latest FREE resource! 🔥

A huge thank you to everyone who commented, downloaded it, shared it and especially to everyone new who discovered the page through the post. 👋

Right. I think we can finally stop sending Exercise links to people now. 😂😂😂

🔥 FREE TRAINING EXERCISE 🔥

Well… this was supposed to be a quick free Friday exercise. 😂

I sat down this morning to put together something useful for you to train over the weekend, and somehow it turned into an 8-page training resource with two complete exercises and full coaching notes.

So you might as well have it. 😂🔥

ONE SMALL TRAINING SPACE. TWO DIFFERENT CHALLENGES.

There are two complete exercise maps, using only a small amount of equipment, together with my coaching notes, progression ideas and key training points.

⚪ Young Dog Exercise

Using jumps and a tunnel, with a big emphasis on progressive training, reward placement, commitment and breaking the sequence into manageable pieces.

I’ve also included Coaches Eye points and Ready to Progress criteria, just as I use throughout the Young Agility Dog Workbook.

⚫ Advanced Exercise

Using essentially the same setup and training space, but swapping one jump for weave poles completely changes the challenge.

Now we’re looking at weave entry skills, backside handling, layering, discrimination, lead changes and more advanced handling choices.

I really like this exercise because it shows how you don’t necessarily need loads of equipment or a huge training space to create really useful training.

It also gives you a nice insight into the different roles of the Young Agility Dog Workbook and the Agility Workbook, and how the training progresses between the two.

And the whole 8-page PDF is completely FREE. 🔥

Want to try it?

Comment TRAIN below 👇 and I’ll reply with the download page.

And if you know somebody who would enjoy this one, feel free to tag your training partner. 🐕🔥
