Agility on the road

#6 Mary Champagne Funny Farm & the Magic of Long Distance Handling


Listen Later

What started with just three sheep turned into a full-blown funny farm—complete with goats, mules, ponies, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and of course, dogs!

In this episode of Agility on the Road, I sit down with Mary Champagne , who began agility back in 1995 and now runs her own agility facility in the U.S. We talk about her journey into long-distance handling, the frustrating trial-and-error phase, and her determination to keep believing—even when it felt impossible.

We recorded this conversation in her dogs’ living room on my last day at her farm, and I couldn’t help but reflect on how far she’s come. From barely being able to move on the course to showing the world how you can run ISC and UKI courses without actually running. Step by step. Little by little. Just keep going.
