Just started listening. I like your emphasis on our relationship with our dogs!! That can sometimes get lost in dog sports. Also love your upbeat attitude even when talking about hard things.

Enjoy listening and often find myself sharing with my students.

In the Bruce Springsteen song "No Surrender," the the first verse has the line: "We learned more from a three-minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school" This podcast is that 3 minute record. Despite being on the verge of participating in my second National Agility Championship, I learned more about agility from binging the first 32 episodes back in March 2022 than during my previous 3 years of actually doing AKC trials. It was like hearing from people who had been combing by mind for questions to give me answers. BadDogAgility podcast is of course the GOAT, but thinking Startline Conversations had ended for good was a bummer. Cara and Michelle are closer to most of us competitors in terms of their relationship to agility. Plus their rapport, banter, and personalities are what make this entertaining even if you don't primarily do AKC agility in America.

Loving this podcast! Always has practical and realistic advice that I find I can put into place right away - love that! Def a must listen if you’re a competitive handler!

Listening to this episode which is the first one I have listened to my first thought was that these two ladies are my people!! ❤️ I have gone through many of the same struggles with stress and my pups, and even found my way to some of the ideas that they fantastically present here!! I can’t wait for more!!

Absolutely love the judges series! I am one year into agility and have learn so many little details about agility trials, from tips on entries, to details that occur around organizing trials. Thanks for providing this resource for me! And I love my collars from your sponsor!

Enjoyable discussions filled with good ideas and suggestions on how to traverse the agility world. I've enjoyed the interview, life hacks and everything in-between. Definitely a good listen for the new agility competitor, but also worthwhile for the tried and true competitor.
