I really loved it. Everything. I am a newly approved judge at novice and advanced. This was so helpful from start to finish. I will listen to it again also. Great comments. Learned stuff, reinforced stuff I was thinking. Just great.

I am new to AKC sw. I am struggling with my NW2 and decided to do some AKC trials to help with my timing. I love them. As matter of fact, the interior cat room search Kara talked about, we came in 1st place last weekend! We also earned the High In Trial title that day. We now have two legs in Advanced and are still getting placements. Kara is a great judge and I have been to two of her NACSW trials. I love hearing from all the panelist. Tony is great, he tells it like it is. Thank you!
