Listen "356: Should You Specialize?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode (38:55) In this episode, we tackle a listener's question: Can you excel in more than one agility venue? Specialization vs. versatility is a hot topic in dog sports, and we dive into the pros and cons of focusing on a single organization versus competing across multiple venues. You Will Learn How Jennifer Crank was selected to her high school's Hall of Fame. How different agility organizations have distinct course design philosophies and challenges. How major events within a single organization, like the AKC Invitational, Westminster, and AKC FCI Agility World Championship tryouts, feature unique course designs and competitive demands. Why competitors increasingly have to choose where to spend their time and money, and how to make informed decisions based on factors specific to you and your dog.
