Each spring, we hold retriever field training seminars here in
Winterville. Each seminar spans 3 days (over a weekend) and is
limited to 10 dog/handler teams for both the Basic and the Advanced. The fee for either seminar is $250.00 for a working team
(one dog/handler) and $50.00 for observers who attend without a
dog. These are working seminars - you and your dog will get yard
work, marks on land and water, real birds, guns will be used and training
problems are addressed. These seminars are open to any breed
that will be used as a non-slip retriever.

2010 Seminar Dates
We are moving our dates to March this year! We'll begin with a basic seminar starting Saturday
March 13,
2010, through Monday March 15. The Advanced seminar will begin Friday,
March19 through Sunday March 21. As usual, all attendees are
invited to attend the free training dates in the week between seminars. We
will use live and dead birds for this training week. Flyer ducks are
available for $12./bird, and must be reserved in advance.
Working seminar participants are strictly limited to a total of 10.
The Basic seminar
(click
here for application) is suitable for those new to or very
inexperienced in the field. It will cover such things as proper
exposure to birds/water/guns, force fetch, basic obedience for the
field, simple single marks and an introduction to hunting tests rules
and regulations. Dogs that will benefit most from this seminar
will be preparing for AKC Junior Hunter tests and WC tests. Use
this button to place a deposit for the Basic seminar:
The Advanced seminar (click
here for application) is suitable for dogs and handlers
that have some experience (JH/WC level work) and wish to progress to
Senior Hunter concepts and beyond. Yard work will address collar
conditioning, progressive handling drills and field work will cover
simple multiples and simple blinds through more advanced concepts.
We carry TriTronics collars at competitive prices and collars may be
purchased before, during or after seminars. Use this button to
place a deposit for the Advanced seminar:
Seminars are meant to be an "overview" of
field training at the selected level (Basic or Advanced), or a way to
bridge some training concepts. For more in-depth instruction, you
may be more interested in attending a 5 day individualized training
camp.
With some differences, our program is based on the training program developed
by top professional trainer Mike Lardy.
