I am looking forward to my next trial, which unfortunately will only be 1 day for me because I have other commitments that weekend so I won't be able to try and finish CPE Level 1. I need two more games, Snooker and Jackpot; the only two runs I didn't try this past weekend. Snooker is the only one played on Saturday and I won't be able to attend Sunday.
My only concern with the next CPE trial is I'll get to run Level 2 for everything else. CPE Level 2 introduces the Weaves and Teeter. We have a pretty decent weave but Edan is still not 100% sure on the Teeter but we are working on that.
CPE is where everyone in my club recommended starting because it is easy for a someone new to agility to get started and be successful. Everything about the environment is lighter. (This is my opinion based on the USDAA trial I helped at - but didn't run - earlier this year. It may or may not be true.)
I'm going to try to run TDAA (Teacup) agility in November also. I may eventually try AKC.

I had no idea that there were so many 'levels' and 'kinds' or categories of agility out there! I have a lot to learn I guess. (I wonder if it is any different in here in Canada?) I want to do it for 'fun' but I am so competitive that I don't know, I hope that does not get in the way of the fun part. I am looking into signing up for classes now, apparently there is a long waiting list.

Ania, I didn't realize there were so many other agility categories either since all they show on TV is Standard. I assumed there were different levels (a beginner, intermediate, and advanced at the very least) because it just didn't make sense to start someone green out on a difficult course.
What surprised me was the number of agility ORGANIZATIONS out there.
