I understand this 100%.I currently work in a pet supply store and teach 4 classes a week. I love what I do but honestly the last thing I want to do on the weekend is hang out with dog people all day.
Oh, I think it's much more than that, it's showing off the partnership that the owner and dog have developed, and that's very cool.I compete and title because it’s my hobby. I love titles and certificates from various registries and venues. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting it, but for some it’s entertainment and living vicariously through my dogs’ achievements. Lol
That's almost an oxymoron. Pretty much everything the AKC does is a moneymaking scheme. They're registering puppy mill dogs to fill their coffers; I think that pretty much says it all.it's also a money-making scam by the AKC.
It’s not a scam. People petitioned to get these events added because they like the accessibility. I understand if you have negative feelings against AKC for personal reasons, but in this case, they are just giving the consumer what they want.it's also a money-making scam by the AKC.
I don't think a dog should do 10 searches in a day. I know that if it's on offer, may dog owners will go for it. In an agility trial, it's not possible to enter your dog in 10 runs a day, or even 6. Yes, I get the physical differences between agility and nosework; but the effect on the dog is something I think the AKC isn't bothering to understand.It’s not a scam.

If I never feel another foldable crate banging against my shins as my dog pulls on his leash and my carrier bag slips off my shoulder, it will be too soon, that's all I can say.
Also let’s not forget the shleping. Sometimes in the rain or 100 degree weather.
