It is for people who are training their dog to meet RATG, Beginners Test or Novice Retrieving Trial level. There will be basic and more advanced training available so will suit handlers who are already competing.
Instruction will depend on the feedback we receive from handlers via RSVP. It may include but will not be limited to:
Water work especially training for direct entry and return
Marking – introducing ‘factors’ and extending distances
Introduction to handling
Training on your own
Delivery to hand
Please bring with you a tie down peg, lead, dummies, water for dog, chair, gumboots and lunch. Extra dummies will be available if required. We will likely be training at a local winery so it would great if you could budget for something from their cellar door or gift shop. They have some gorgeous gifts that would be perfect for Christmas and I can personally vouch for the port (hic!)
Please indicate your intention to attend with Prue at
pwyorifeld@harbourisp.net.au by 11th November. If you require further information Prue can be contacted on 5368 7264.
