Default Agility help?

Heya!

My trainer is retiring in October and I am having a hard time finding someone new! Nicole is awesome and I really like her. Our class is small (it is me, a whippet/hound mix named Tucker, a Wheaton called Corbitt and occasionally a Old English Sheepdog named Garfunkle!) and our trainer takes very good care of us. She even ran us through some of the national courses!

What is the best route to go, do you think? One on one instruction or another class? How should I 'interview' a new trainer?

Flip has a pretty strong foundation already, he can do just about anything, the only trouble I have with him is focus. He tends to get the zoomies in class pretty frequently!

Thanks
