I've filled out Faiths' and my entry form for the APDT trial in Dillsburg, PA! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I'm entering Faith in Levels 1 and 2 B for both runs on Sunday. I thought about entering her in one Level 3 A because it would only be $7.50 more, but I'm afraid she will get tired. Plus, there are a few Level 3 signs that we ( Read more... )

If you're ever within driving distance without Georgia let me know and I'll come shoot you guys.

That's a nice offer, thanks. :) My flyball team actually goes to a tournament in Athens every July, although I'm not sure how close that is to you.

I actually live in Athens. I like to work in the states around Georgia as well, since I like taking trips.

Where's the one in Athens held at?

I think it's called the Classic Center. I haven't actually been yet--two Julys ago my dog was too unreliable to justify the trip, and last July we did rally instead. My team raves about this particular venue, though, so I'm hoping to attend next time.

Aw, I wish you were going to be there--I would love to see Mushroom in action! Which one are you going to?

I thought you couldn't run both L1 and L2 at the same trial, or is it different for B classes?

Nope, you're definitely allowed to do multiple levels. In fact, you have to if you want to get championship titles (for example, the ARCH requires you to qualify in Levels 1 and 2 B at the same trial on five different occasions, similar to the AKC's RAE requirements). You can't be in a level if you haven't earned your title in the previous level, though. Before Faith earned her RL1, she could only be in Level 1 A. Afterwards, she was in Level 1 B and Level 2 A. Now she's earned her RL2, so she's in both B classes because we're working towards the ARCH, and if I was brave/crazy enough to I could enter her in Level 3 A as well.

That's one of the reasons I really like APDT over AKC--I like having that reassuring opportunity to get Faith in the ring on-leash in Level 1 even though we're also doing an off-leash class!
