Encourage Trial and Training Day – Gippsland Zone
Jul 9 all-day
Encourage Trial and Training Day – Gippsland Zone
This is not about your dog handling skills, this is all about how we all give points back to the judge due to incorrect placement, not listening,  moving etc etc
We plan to train in the morning and then have a bit of a mock trial in the afternoon where you will be shown how and where you are throwing away points, points that could make the difference between winning and not placing.
It doesn’t matter at what level you are at whether it be encourage, maiden or novice you are welcome to attend.
It will be $150 for the day which will include morning tea and lunch and Travis’ unlimited knowledge and tricks of the trade.
