Not required, but it is a pain to change shoes every time you go in and out of the arena. So it goes like this: Go in, change shoes walk course. Finish walking course change shoes go outside to warm up dog. Come in change shoes with dog in hand in a small area with many other dogs (hard when your dog is enthusiastic). Run dog, leave course change shoes with stimulated dog so you can take him outside to cool down. It's just easier to crate inside, especially if you have multiple dogs. And yeah, it's loud inside;)
I cheated & didn't change shoes when going in & out with my dog, though we didn't go anywhere, just to the vehicle which was right outside. I warmed him up before going to walk the course.
I can't really afford to have shoes just for the turf, though, so won't be doing much there. I bought a new pair of Costco sneakers that I used for league, but now they need to be my walking shoes.
I guess Pirate & Bright must have been on the same team, I didn't really notice who I was teamed with. I'm not sure how we blundered into 3rd, given Pirate. Must've been Bright.
