I have a very nice 8 inch dog. I’d like to aim for a national event, but I’m having a hard time setting which organization I should focus on. How do you assess which organization/path to choose for an individual team.
I think in general you want to look at the rules. Which organization fits your style better, this may include the height cutoffs depending on the team.
Look at the structure of the big events. How much showing is required to qualify for the big event?
Look at the style of agility. Do you want games?
And also know that you could change it up over the years.
What was the book that kathy Keats suggested in her interview?
The title is “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” by Richard Bach.
Thank you 😊

This would make an excellent podcast!
