I've been encouraged/invited
...to join the Greater Kansas City Dog Training Club. They do a TON of classes and shows, so it would be an awesome way to gain experience and possible put some titles on Sawyer. They do all levels of Agility, Tracking and Obedience, and all classes are taught by volunteers, so there is a chance that as my skill level grows, I would be asked to be one of those teaching volunteers. My only qualm is that they are *very* into correction collars, chokes especially, and I've heard they're rather unfriendly to those who don't see things "their way".
Otherwise, this is just the type of place I've been looking to get involved with. Now I just need to find a herding place closer than 4 hours...

Go for it! If they use training methods you're not comfortable using, you can always respectfully decline... (these are volunteer trainers). Then if they see your methods are equally or more successful, you're in a position to change things a little, or give people an option when you do become a volunteer trainer. It's always great to get your foot in the door with a reputable group, in the beginning of a training career! Congrats!!!

It's apparently a very showy, competitive atmosphere, so it's good practice for the world of competitions.
