I wanted to take a moment and let you know how I felt about my experience this past weekend at the Dogs on Q agility trial.
I had never previously seen a NADAC trial. A friend recommended that I try it with my Norwegian Elkhound as she has been struggling in other venues. So I registered my dog. Even though I had read all the rules, I was still a bit confused on which classes I should try. So I sent emails with questions and got wonderfully helpful replies.
And Wow! What a GREAT time we had. The atmosphere was much more laid back than I was used to. Which was just what we needed. But laid back in no way means unorganized. The trial was SO well run. So very efficient, but not rushed. So many club members building courses, so the next round could start quickly. Everyone jumping in to help. One member even offered to take me around and show me things, if I had questions. Talk about being blown away for my first NADAC experience!

I will definitely attend more trials put on by this club. Just fantastic!!

Oh and after our last run of the day, so many people came up and told me what a beautiful run we had in Hoopers. So welcoming and so nice!!!
Thank you,

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!
