Anyone do teacup agility? I tried it recently and loved the venue!
The obstacles are smaller and the course less spread out. Dogs who measure up to 16 inches can compete. I wasn’t sure how Lily (poodle mix) would do as she is a fast dog who likes to cover a lot of ground, even now at ten years old...but she adjusted fine. It was perfect for Misty (Bichon mix), who only jumps 4 inches due to a mild luxating patella, not so speedy nature, and her older age.
Even though it’s on a smaller scale, it was certainly competitive enough for us. They also allow you to fast track which means you just have to qualify in one beginner run and then can move up to through the levels. By the end of the day we were at the highest level so can compete there in the next trial.
It was also a friendly, fun atmosphere, I’ll be doing it again!
