We're very excited to announce two new ways that we're hoping to improve this lovely sport that we all love.
The first is in regards to course times. We are reviewing course times in the following months and we decided that while our reviewers will have a strong value on the new times. We do want as much data as possible when making these decisions.
Because of this we have created a new submission page where handlers can submit how long it takes their dogs to perform certain obstacles. Submissions with video to validate their numbers will hold a much higher value.
This page can be found here:
https://www.nadac.com/SpeedSubmission.htmlThe second is to start a database for the purpose of tracking dog injuries in the sport. Because we feel this is such an important topic we are not limiting the submissions to NADAC only dogs. Handlers from any venue will be allowed to submit injuries their dogs have sustained while competing.
Again submissions with more evidence to support their claims will have the most value.
This injury database is also 100% transparent with all submissions being view-able directly after they are submitted.
We feel that for all that we ask of our dogs it's only right that we take care of them as much as possible. And we hope that by tracking injuries from every venue and obstacle involved we can achieve that goal.
The injury submission page can be found here:

NADAC.com site.
