My 13-year old daughter participated in the NADAC Agility trial at the Quad Cities Dog Center this weekend (July 28 & 29, 2018). Jeff Riedl was the judge on both days.

This was our very first NADAC agility trial. She has been participating in the 4-H fair for two years (in the dog project) and really really enjoys dog training! She is not a volleyball girl, or a basketball girl, or a swimming girl. She does not participate in chess club, or Spanish club or future leaders of America. She is an animal lover & a dog trainer. And this event was magical (for both of us)! Thank you SO much for supporting the junior members in NADAC and the caring judges that make it FUN for our youth. You all play a part (behind the scenes administrative staff, coordinators, judges, etc) in making memories for these participants and their dog companions!

I would imagine (if your career field is anything like mine) you usually hear from the participants that are not pleased with outcomes (for whatever reason). So I wanted to make sure you heard from this Mom, YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for all you do! Ginger and I had a fantastic time at the trials this last weekend. We earned two new titles and had several qualifying runs.

For me, NADAC has been a confidence booster, a life changer. I struggled with social anxiety for years. NADAC has helped me overcome my fears and has led me to do things I never thought were possible. I can honestly say my life has changed because of NADAC, and all with my best friend by my side.
