I decided that Sam and I are going to start agility in January, but I can't decide between these two places.
Classes - ACADEMY of CANINE BEHAVIOR
Classes: Sno-King
I was originally looking at the first one, their classes start on January 3rd and cost 110$ for six weeks, but it's a little bit farther away and seems to cover less. They also don't host trials at all, which makes me think they're less serious about what they do? I came across the second one a little bit ago and they're closer to me, host trials, and seem to cover more. But I don't know if they're too serious about it. It came across on their page that they expect you to be competing by Level 5? I'm also not sure about the price, I need to email them.
I'd definitely like to sit in and watch a class without Sam there for both of them, but both mention clickers and positive reinforcement, which sounds pretty good.
Also, Sam and I won't be trialing for at least a year, but would you go ahead and register him with NADAC/AKC? I'm thinking of just registering him now to get it over with. Which one would you go with? NADAC has more trials around here that are open to mixed breeds, but AKC comes with more "benefits". Are you allowed to have registrations with both? Because if you are I think I'll just do that.
