There are lots of Agility web sites, and two good ones are The DogPatch (www.dogpatch.org/agility/) and Agility Ability (www.agilityability.com/).
Clean Run Magazine is a fabulous, but expensive, monthly magazine about agility. In it you'll find trainer profiles, handling exercises, judge's debriefing, great ads and classifieds, and much, much more. Clean Run Productions (http://www.cleanrun.com/) also has a good selection of agility-related books and supplies. .
Two good sources for agility and training books on the web are DogWise (http://www.dogwise.com) and SitStay (http://www.sitstay.com).
There are also numerous Agility mailing lists available. Many of them are hosted on http://groups.yahoo.com
