You get more runs for your money with USDAA. But also it depends on what is near your home. You wont save any money if you have to drive farther. <br />I know about delimas. Do I keep trialing my dog when she wont get on the table? But then how do I fix it. I dont want her to keep practicing the wrong thing at a trial. Ugh!

It IS a real dilemna about how much to trial, when to trial, etc. I think we have spent since Feb. trying to ease into the whole "trialing" thing and I was just thinking that in the next few months we would try going to trials a little more often or doing two days instead of just one and see how it goes.

Maybe you're right though and she should give me more treats!

Im not sure if Ricky finds running agility rewarding or not but if you dont think he does that you may want to reward a lot more frequently when running. ( you may have just edited that out, so I hope your not offened). So run maybe three jumps and quick treat and keep going.
