Ready, Set, Go - ADT 2011 Scavenger Hunt

Let the games begin! 
The Applewoods dogs are begging for you to play! 
Open the gate!

We came up with a total of 12 questions for the scavenger hunt. Lets get started! 

Example 
The list of questions looks something like this...
Name at least one distraction used in class this year that can be caught. 
You have to e-mail us at office@applewoodsdogtraining.com with an answer like... 
Dead Frozen Mice, seen in this post 

Sounds easy right? Remember that first person to find all the answers wins a copy of Mud Heaven and a Back to Work DVD. There is a second place prize too, a 2012 Applewoods Dog Training Calendar. You can read more about the prizes in our contest announcement post.

ADT 2011 Contest

We have had a blast this year at Applewoods! 2011 blew by, bringing with it a host of new Obedience titles, lots of new students and an overwhelming amount of dog training opportunities with our Day Care and Boarding dogs. Wow!

To wrap up the year, we are having our first ADT Scavenger Hunt!!

Mark your calendars! On December 31st, we will post a list of questions (we don't know how many yet... expect 10-20). The answers to each of the questions can be found in the 'Applewoods Today' blog posts from the past year. It's your job to answer them, and answer them before anyone else. E-mail all entries to Office@ApplewoodsDogTraining.com with the answer to each question, and the post that you found the answer in.

Whats in it for you? Well, besides reliving the great year at Applewoods, there will also be prizes offered to the first two people who can answer all the questions correctly.


FIRST PLACE PRIZE: 

1) A copy of Mud Heaven, by Margot Woods.

Mud Heaven is a collection of short stories. There are stories to make you laugh, to make you cry, to entertain you and to inform you. If you enjoy having a dog around, you are bound to enjoy this collection. More information on Mud Heaven can be found HERE. 


2) The Back to Work DVD


The Back to Work DVD is a 90 minute instructional DVD that walks you through the first five weeks of the Bedrock Training Method. If you are a student at Applewoods, you probably already have this resource.
