Look the best way IMHO is go to a couple agility trials and volunteer doing polesetting or leash running or whatever. Now watch and learn I am pretty sure you will identify the best handlers and those people will have the fastest dogs. Those are the people you should get to know and ask if they teach and find out who they recommend. Now that will get you started after that you should start taking seminars and building your library or books and DVD's.

Handling your dog around the course is probably going to be the hardest thing I know it is for me and I study it. There are a couple people out there that have what they call systems and they beleive only there system is the correct one. Well one system is by Greg Derrett and it will for sure make you competitive, you can also study under Susan Garrett she follows his system again you wont go to far wrong. With that said I like to be different and do a little from a bunch of different handlers. Google Lisa Frick and watch how see runs her dog she has a bunch of video's on Youtube, I think she is a brilliant handler. Hope that helps some.
