ADOG (Dog Obedience Training - Atlanta

Well done!!! This event was amazingly well organized and everything proceeded according to schedule. The "judges" were helpful and encouraging. They also provided great training tips - invaluable information! ~ Kelly Bryant (10/5/08 Show & Go)

Thank you for a great show and go!!! I really appreciate the extra time that the "judges" spend working with you on the exercises. Thanks especially to Adrienne and Mindy for their extra efforts!! And thanks to all the volunteers whose help make these events happen. ~ Michelle Gossett, Ellie and Emma

Very nicely run show and go. The rings started on time and every effort was made to have the event run efficiently. As a worker, I really appreciated that my service was not needed the entire morning, only a portion of. Made me happy, made my dog happy too! Thanks again for offering this wonderful opportunity! ~ Joan Dickerson

I think you guys are doing great. I like that you confirm entries online so you have a sense of when your time will be. I like that you are pre-registering for it. All in all, I'm really happy with it. ~ Jennifer Bachelor

I thought it went very well. It started on time unlike some others and did not take very long at all. Thank you very much, for everything. ~ Melissa Cate

I was really surprised at how quickly things moved along at this S&G, as compared to the last one I attended. It was well run as always. The only improvement that I could suggest would be to have a regulation width high jump to be used in the open ring. Thanks!!

Excellent show & go. Everyone was very helpful, courteous, and efficient. Thanks so much. ~ Vail Hanna

Great job. If you could get the helpers to insert their names before the class begins would be helpful in planning your warm-up, though I know that's not always possible. Seriously, I thought it was run efficiently and the ring help was very accommodating and helpful. I will be back. ~ Pam Long

Very well run, started on time! Well organized. Building open early enough for the early entries. Great to see people I haven't seen in awhile. ~ Carol Parente

As is always the case, the Show and Go yesterday (Jan. 13th) was great--well run with the usual pleasant volunteers willing to accomodate any special requests. The chance to get some indoor ring time in January is a real treat for me as I am working a Chinese Crested in Open, so I really appreciate that you put on as many Show and Goes as you do. ~ Barbara Majka

I really do look forward to the ADOG S & Gs, especially since I'm in Open and don't usually have to be there until 10:00 AM! I have always thought that ADOG puts on a well-organized event, whether it's a S & G, or a seminar, etc. - Barbara M

I appreciate the Show & Go opportunities that you provide. I think that having pre-registrations and showing the list on the website is very helpful. - Jennifer Bachelor

Renee was great, she called for us in Novice and we enjoyed our time in the ring. I made some mistakes while stewarding. I'm sorry. I learned from them and will try not to repeat them.

Everything seemed to go smoothly. We had adequate help. The building and mats looked great, and the ramp is a wonderful addition. We did have one exhibitor in a wheelchair, so the ramp addition was very timely. - Elaine LeRoy

The pre-registration and show limits seem to be making a difference in how quickly the events are run. Congrats on that idea! I don't know who to thank for the ramp at the entrance, but I know I am quite grateful that we could avoid the "production" of getting my wheelchair in. My friend's back appreciates it too!!

Everything seemed to run fairly smoothly. My only suggestion is that perhaps when you post the list of participants, you start off the listing with the first few slots reserved for "Volunteers." This might help gauging the duration of each class a bit more accurately. Thanks for a great event!

Well-organized, well-run, lots of fun!

I thought it went just fine....thanks for holding it! - Lynda McKee

Well-organized, well-run, lots of fun!

It was such a nice show and go this past Saturday. So much more organized. I was glad no add-ons were allowed so my second run thru would not end so late.. Thank you very much. We really appreciated the donuts and juice too, that was nice. Boomer spotted them, but I said no. Thanks again. - Eileen Retel

I thought it was very well put together and my runs went very smooth. - Julie

I attended the Show & Go on June 3rd. I thought the idea of limiting the number of entries was a good way to keep closer to a schedule especially where it pertains to moving from Novice to Open since they are both in the same ring. I also thought that utilizing outside space for sits and downs helped keep the rings available for the rest of the exercises. It will probably move even faster once everyone gets used to the system. All in all I thought things went very smoothly. - Cindy Younker

Pre-registration and limiting entries was a vast improvement over past S&G.

Great fan - building looks great - very organized - nice workers - great judges. Only thing I would do different put sign in board away from ring caused a lot of congestion right at ring gate not enough for dogs to get to other ring or in ring. Thanks really enjoyed. - Pat Widener

Nice event! Very nice to have the pre-entry setup beforehand. Amy and Lynn did a great job of keeping things moving. Thanks guys! - Robert Wheaton

It was a GREAT Show & Go. It was very efficiently run. The attention to detail (i.e. the water placed outside and the nice selection of snacks was an extra plus and well appreciated). The callers that I had did a very nice job and were extremely helpful. Lynn and Amy are to be commended for hosting this Show & Go! Thank you! Only request for improvement would have been a few more chairs to sit these weary bones down in :>) - Patti Simmons
NOTE FROM ADOG: We recommend on our flyer that participants bring their own chair. We are unable to provide them for everyone.

It was a great day to have the Novice ring outdoors. There were different kind of distractions which I liked as compared to indoor training. I thought it went smoothly.

It was a good experience for my dogs and we’ll be back in August. I’m sorry you’re not doing one in July. - Suzanne Bird

This was our very first time out and we learned lots, helpful comments from our judge. Thank you for holding these events.

We had a great time and learned that we definitely need to work more with distractions! See you in August. - Ritu

I thought the June 18th show and go went very well, especially given the high volume of participants . Thanks for the effort. - Karen Smalley
