The aim of the day: For members old and new with young dogs, to progress handlers beyond their current standard. To help new members understand what is required at a gundog working test.
Meet: 10am for10.30 start
Programme: We will divide into groups according to ability/aspirations.
The beginners and improvers groups will be provided with tuition according to their level of ability. We have the opportunity to use the lake as long as there is water in it.
During a short break for refreshments (please bring your own) the trainers will compare notes and highlight any difficulties which became evident in the first part of the day. These can then be worked on during the second part of the day. If nothing is evident the trainers will endeavour to introduce the next steps in your training programme, perhaps a drive or teaching your dog to jump whilst retrieving. Please let me know if your dog is not used to shot.
Refreshments:
Tea and cake at the end of the day.
We will be holding a raffle and would be grateful for any donations, thank you.
Please ensure that you bring:
A picnic or camping chair, your whistle, lead, poo bags, water for your dog (and training treats if you use them) and any refreshments. Clothing suitable for all conditions.
Please let me know if you would like to come along as a ‘spectator’
