Course Details
Let’s keep going! Gun Dog - Continuing Education is a class designed to keep you moving forward regardless of your level or experience.
Whether you participate in pointing, retriever, or spaniel tests or have a versatile hunting companion in the real world, this class will help you organize your training to keep you moving towards your goals – whether you are just starting out or prepping for master hunter.
We will introduce specific analytical planning and problem solving techniques to help you make informed training decisions and implement training strategies. You will learn how to address a ‘problem’ in the moment, as well as how to adjust your training to avoid the problem in the future.
