Dog went to visit judge/steward during run

Dogs visiting ring staff is pretty common particularly among the new to showing. Having folks staged at practice to act as these extras, loom over the dog at the contacts, etc., helps get them used to the ring environment. Have some folks whooping it up, bang things, make all sorts of noises. (Katie Greer)
