The seminar is fast moving and is designed for the intermediate to advanced handler, novice handlers are welcome as observers. No basic instruction will be given.

This seminar is intended for the training of handlers, and therefore dogs need to be at least one year of age and trained so that handlers may concentrate on learning.

Those with dogs will receive specific instruction for presenting that particular dog based on his unique qualities. We normally limit number of dog and handler teams to 25, depending on space.

Observers are also active participants in the seminar. We happily accept as many Observers as want to come.

Everyone learns how to approach the ring with a winning mindset!

Breed specific advice is part of the seminar
