Skills and Drills
Hosted by The Mile Hi Golden Retriever Club at The Dorband Property, Berthoud, CO
A solid foundation of basic retrieving skills is essential for the future success of you and your dog. Mitch will help you to develop a program for you and your dog to build a strong foundation for your dog. Then he will show you how to build on that foundation with the skills and drills needed to take you through Senior and on to Master.
This workshop will start with a review of all the basics. Essential for new dogs and handlers, as well as a great review for those further along, the basics review will help you get started or help you identify areas of weakness in your dog’s foundation training. Mitch will then spend an entire day on drills. Drills are great for dogs of all levels and the drills presented will cover all levels, basic – transition – advanced. The workshop will end by covering the advanced skills needed to succeed in at the master level.
Working Spots are now full. Still accepting Auditors.
