I didn't realize it was only 3 runs either!! I thought it was a lot more complicated. I might have to try it sometime!
The number of Qs/legs (qualifying scores) needed to get a title depends on the sport but for some reason 3 is a common number for a lot of sports. Regardless, most performance titles in most organizations require only that you accumulate enough qualifying scores and have nothing to do with what anyone else that is competing is doing. Many performance sports are very supportive as well.
See if there are any quality dog training classes near you in a sport that looks fun and give it a try. There are some sports that are more time intensive and some that are breed specific, but the majority are doable by almost any dog with a moderate amount of effort and you can have a lot of fun.
