Are the workshops just for field trial dogs?
Dogs and handlers with different final goals attend. Some have hunt test and others field trial objectives. We find that a mix of backgrounds, types of dogs, and levels of experience provide a rich selection of questions and information presented. Basic and Transition skills are same at the foundation level for gundogs, hunt test dogs, and field trial dogs. At the Advanced level, there is still a great deal of similarity in skills. The main Workshop emphasis is on increasing the skills of the handler.
