Are there instructions included on the best way to start training? as in what piece is best to learn first - the correct order etc

No, only instructions on how to put everything together. I bought the book "Having Fun With Agility" and it gives lots of pointers. (I don't intend to compete, just wanted something for my dog to do.) I don't think there's any particular order, just mix them up. My dog learned 3 in one day (tunnel, jumping over straight bar, and jumping through hoop) just playing around a bit.

A little, nothing too in depth. It explains lightly on how to introduce your dog to the different obstacles. From personal experience though, I would say start with the pause table (with this kit it isn't a table its just a square on the ground) and then move to the jumps (this is one that a dog has in its nature. it feels natural) then move on to the shoot (or mini tunnel) and then try poles. Each obsticle you should work on a little at a time. Don't force the dog, and make it fun! Go to this link if you would like to see this kit being used! In this video you can see my dog taking some obstacles from this kit! Hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj_DjrWdXzY A little, nothing too in depth.

According to most agility books, plus the easiest way I found it to be, the weave poles are hardest so its best to save them for last, learn the jumps hoops, tunnels, etc first.

I'm just a beginner but have found some interesting articles on line. Here's one to get you started: http://www.clickertraining.com/get-startedThe important thing that I have learned is to start at the beginning. If the dog knows his/her name, say the name and as they respond, click and then reward with a treat. Its all about clicking at the time of the desired reaction and then rewarding. They soon associate the command and click and treat. Then move on to the next (i.e. sit or down). Check out the internet...lots of articles.

Download everything, but that is not the best piano course out there. There is no music to play, only suggestions, which for a beginner can be confusing, but besides that it COULD BE an excellent way of learning to play the piano.

Somewhat. You really need to have some basic obedience commands already down before you start to use this tool. This is not a starting point. Basic commands need to already be instilled by you to your dog. Only after those commands are learned & reinforced, can you move forward with this as a training tool. Great product I highly recommend it. Problem is too many people want to start with it.

What's missing are 2 additional DVDs. One is the Master Class where he walks you thru the whole sequence at various speeds. After learning the whole thing, this is a really good DVD. The other is Qi Qong and is a difference sequence. It can be used as a warm up or cool done and is also very nice. I think you also get a few extra things in the master kit, but it's the DVDs that are the main thing.

I learnt with a teacher so I wouldn't really know what's best for self-study, but there are some great guides on Youtube that start from the very basics! Give it a search!Also David Finckel's Cello talks are quite interesting too - not necessarily for absolute beginners though :)

Sorry for a long delay in responding to this question. The DVD is not detailed enough for getting a good start as a total newb. That is where I was when I purchased the guitar and I had researched online lessons and DVD lessons from various sources before getting the guitar. Once I got the DVD that came with it I was aware that it wasn't adequate. I signed up for Guitar Tricks and I am still working with that program. That program is very complete and allows you to see progress from the beginning, but there are gaps that I've had to fill with YouTube lessons on very specific stuff like learning more complex strumming patterns including up strokes. You will need to develop your own plan for learning too. Sorry for a long delay in responding to this question. The DVD is not detailed enough for getting a good start as a total newb.

I, too, struggled with layers. This trainer does go through the same fundamentals you have read in other sources. He than says something like "keep working at it. Most people eventually grasp layers". Not good enough for me. I still struggle. I would not recommend this course

Good morning, the best for training and recreation are the slow wheels, especially if you are a beginner. Faster wheels are for higher levels, and competitions. For any further assistance/clarification, do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, barnettsports

I just recently tried Zumba for the first time in an actual class and it was intense but doable! I have also ordered the DVD which is good. I can't speak for everyone but can say that had i not incorporated various cardio, weight exercises into my daily regimen i could not have lasted a full hour of my first actual class. Of course there are ways to keep moving if you cannot keep up that's the key to just keep moving and do what you can so again it's doable but maybe not for everyone as a beginner you may have to work up to it! Good luck whatever you choose but i will say Zumba has changed my thinking and I"m on a roll with my workouts again! Best to you!

As long as you watch the videos showing how to use it before you start, you should be fine. Start with the easiest techniques and work your way up.

the collar comes with all the instructions you need to operate the collar but no instructions on how to use it within your training. how to use it to train is based on your individual philosophy or methodology. the collar manufacturer recognizes the different types of use and refers the user to a professional for assistance.

As I recall, there are instructions included and it is very important to follow them. I'm typically a "read the instructions as a last resort" guy but in this case the instructions really help.

Yes, Training whells were included. Our son have loved the Bike! Well built for the price.

That is correct. Google the video. It gives step by step instructions. Be gentle with the parts.
