Testimonials

Tammy is always patient and encouraging in her teaching. Classes are laid back which makes it a great way to spend time with your dog after a long day. Tammy analyzes why a dog might be having difficulties and sets up exercises that allow the dog and handler to practice it in incremental steps to avoid frustration. She is creative in setting hides to challenge both handler & dog, while making sure that the training is fun for all.

I just want to thank you for putting on three great trials this weekend. Despite the hot weather, I think everyone enjoyed themselves including the dogs. Please thank all the wonderful volunteers for braving the elements and without them we would not have had a trail. I loved the thoughtfulness of you for providing refreshments to the competitors. Looking forward to entering more of your trials in the future.

Give what you can…if you can only help in the morning of a trial, fantastic; only the afternoon, fabulous; all day…wow!! It always feels good when your efforts are appreciated and APDS truly appreciates all time that is given by their volunteers. They are generous to competitors and volunteers alike. Some of my best memories are of friends who have titled when I have volunteered.

My dog Daisy was an abused dog who had issues with trust of humans and other dogs. Training with Tammy helped Daisy become more confident and friendlier with dogs and people. She now can be off leash at a park doing demos and competitions without a worry of her barking or growling at people or dogs.

I have been training with Tammy for seven years with my dog Abbie Cadabra doing agility. She has learned so much and loves coming to class. Abbie competes now with great confidence. My dog Ellie is now learning nose work. It’s great for her because she has a problem with her hips so this is a great sport for her. Thank you Tammy for loving the dogs and always being patient.

Remember that friendly face that greeted you at the last trial you were at…You could be that face!!! We know how difficult it can be to get into a NACSW trial, but you can always volunteer at a NACSW trial. It is awesome! What a way to give back to the sport we love. And volunteering can be like a full day seminar when watching and helping the competitors through their trial day.

I just want to thank you for such a fun time yesterday! Despite the weather being a little warm, it was a perfect introduction to Specialty Trials for us. We had a great time and Finn LOVED his puppacino and new toy. The trial site was really nice and the club and volunteers super (loved the welcome wagon). You folks put on a great trial! Hope to do another sometime.

I wanted to thank you for a super well-run trial last Saturday! I especially appreciate how everyone looked out so well for Merlin, by creating extra space for him, clearing the path to the staging areas, etc. It is truly appreciated!

I want you to know how much I enjoy volunteering at the trials. I have leaned a lot about nose work techniques AND most important, how odor travels in different situations. Having the opportunity to watch lots of dogs and how they react is something I can only experience by working a trial! I truly feel this has helped me work closer with my dog! I wish I could get the word out to people to VOLUNTEER! What better way to learn and make a lot of wonderful friends!!!

All the memories of magical moments when handler and K9 are having the best day ever or even when they are having an off day but are still having fun!! It is always something different and I can guarantee it will be fun. Come out and volunteer!!!
