Please come prepared to work and to help out as needed. One of the best ways to learn is to walk along with/behind other handlers/trainers and their dogs that are going through a particular training event. The fields or around the water areas are often damp or muddy so having some type of waterproof footwear is highly recommended. It is also highly recommended that you use some type of flea/tick repellent on both you and your dog.  At some of the training day sessions a lunch may be available for a small cash donation. You will be advised ahead of time if there will be a lunch. If a lunch is not provided, you may want to bring a lunch as there are no restaurants/gas stations that are very close to the training area. The chapter is not responsible for any property or equipment left on the grounds.

CSN August 25th Training Day

Beede Outdoor’s – Unadilla NE

8:30 – 2:00 (or earlier depending on participants)

Agenda:
​Concentrating on Natural Ability

The day’s events will focus on obedience and skills to prepare for the Natural Ability test – be prepared to learn to plant birds, do tracks, swim your pup and have fun! Most of the training exercises are going to be designed around developing your pups for the Natural Ability test.

There will be quail available for $6/ea for field work (please bring a bird bag/crate to store birds).  We will have a frozen pheasant for track (drag) and use expired quail for the reward at the end of the track (drag).  Bumpers will be used at the water for the swim exercise.

The weather will likely be very warm and sunny! Be prepared with sun guard, bug spray, lunch etc. A source of shade for you and your dog, and folding chairs will help make the day comfortable.

Bring plenty of water for your dog, along with whatever training gear you use. You’ll need a leash, and if you use a check cord, e-collar, and whistle.  A crate or stake-out is recommended to keep your dog quiet and comfortable while waiting its turn in the field.

We will be handing out birds at check in before the training day starts. From that point on, the birds are your responsibility! Use of the frozen Pheasant will be shared amongst all members for the pheasant track with one of their expired quail for a reward at the end.

If you have questions regarding the training day, please contact one of us!

It would be appreciated if you would send a “Planning to attend” email to RufnitKennels@AOL.com if you are planning on joining us!

Hope to see you on Saturday!
