I am writing to give some well earned positive feedback about an agility trial I recently attended. My dog and I competed at the Tails Up Agility Trial held at the Family Dog Club in Chesapeake, VA. This was our first ever trial and our first contact with your organization, and we had a blast! Not only were the people friendly and helpful for all of the newbies to NADAC, but the event was incredibly organized and ran very smoothly. Our judge, Jeff Riedl, was also wonderfully encouraging, and instructive with the competitors, and definitely made the whole experience a great one. I also just need to thank your group for being one of the only ones that I have found that openly allow canine amputees to compete. My agility partner is an amazing tripaw who has done local fun agility with our trainer here, but never dreamed we could do any recognized trails. My friend, who competes mainly in AKC, discovered your organization and guided me to the website. We were very excited to find out that we could finally try out our skills outside our comfort zone, and it was a blast. Not only did we have fun, but he got two Q’s and several Blue and red ribbons to boot. So, all in all, I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our first experience with NADAC and say thank you!

Hello, NADAC – I have been away from your venue for years, but I must tell you that I was SO pleasantly surprised by the excellence we experienced last weekend!

The Dogs O Q trial at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, Lawrence Kansas – September 13, 14, 15 was well organized, well run, had excellent rubberized contact equipment, and the Secretary and all of the Event Committee were very courteous and responsive. I had no problem at all finding out about particular regulations, new Gambler class rules, etc. Everyone was extremely helpful.

As the handler of a young dog, I also appreciated their treatment of ring dividers and management of air flow with the large open doors that had screened panels covering them to prevent inadvertent dog escapes.

I can’t say how impressed I was by everything DOQ arranged, from the choice of judge to the trial management to the surface grooming to the hospitality, they had it all – in spades!

I highly recommend this club’s trials, and have encouraged my agility buddies to take another look at NADAC, now with DOQ, in the Kansas City area.
