Blind Training & Handling Workshop Advanced Field Trial

Vernon, FL

There is no greater test of discipline, teamwork and skill than a blind. Over the course of three days, I'll evaluate you and your dog's performance. We'll determine where you need to improve, and develop a plan that will move you toward being a better blind running team. We'll run drills and blinds designed to polish the team's fundamental skills. We'll examine blinds with a fine tooth comb so that you can learn how to read and understand the test, as well as come up with a plan for success.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Linda at 705-206-0124 or [email protected]
