• Sessions allow plenty of time for dog work, as well as question and answer discussion and continuing education. 

• Provides participants and observers with game day and training strategies that help dog and handler teams perform to their maximum potential. 

• Learn how to incorporate yard work and drills to enhance fieldwork as well as problem solve.

A typical workshop format:

Day 1- starts with a couple of field set-ups. This allows Pat to get a feel for the dogs’ trial behavior, handlers’ skills and goals.

Day 2- is likely to start with a review of day one. Pat will take a more active role in managing the challenges and corrections chosen. The day will be interspersed with discussions about problem solving and improving handler mechanics.

Day 3 & 4 will concentrate more on the individual teams. Pat’s increased depth of understanding of both dog and handler will allow him to bore in on specific needs. Then he will wrap-up with an emphasis on a training plan and a review of lessons learned.
