Should I trial?

:biggrin2:You know you are talking to fellow addicts and I am a great enabler LOL :o

I think it is smart to do less if you can't due to finances. You can always do more training which is great fun... and does anybody have fun matches close by? Or does that not feel the same? Easy for me to say as i don't trial YET.. although I am eager LOL
 
I'm really not sure what I would do if I had the opportunity to trial as often as you do. Unfortunately around here, our club only puts on about 7 trials a year. Other than that, we have to travel around 5 hours to get to any other trial...and then you have to add hotels and gas costs.

I would say that doing a ton of trialing around the holidays would be stressful for me. Not only because of money, but it is physically tiring, too.

Here's our schedule, and it's a "heavy agility" month for us...

Dec 4/5: Trial in Charleston
Dec 11/12: Trial in Jacksonville, FL (5 hours away)
Jan 1/2: Trial 45 minutes from here (YAY! New USDAA club!)

Dec 11/12: Trial in Jacksonville, FL- is this one USDAA?
If it is, look for a red border collie named Faith- that's our trainer :biggrin2:
 
Looks like I'm going to sign up for Dec 17-19 (and take off the 17th). The new year one will probably be Jan 1-3, but they're still figuring things out. I figure I'll have at least until the end of the month to decide, so I'll sit on it for awhile. I'm also debating about a NADAC the first weekend in Dec. If I do that one, I won't do the NY one. I may go that route, cuz then that leaves the rest of the crazy holidays for me to be, well, crazy. lol. Less stressed w/o a trial.

Since there's no premiums for the NADAC nor the AKC NY one, I'm doing nothing about those for now. ;)

I think I'll sign up for the Dec 17-19 after this weekend....seeing as how I may get another title!! Woohoo!!!
