What to Bring:
Training days will be held rain or shine, so come prepared with appropriate clothing including a piece of orange clothing, bug spray, sunscreen, drinks, snacks, etc.
The fields can be wet, so consider bringing waterproof boots and rain gear.
Folding chairs, and a tarp or pop-up shelter are good additions to provide shade for you and your dog.
Bring plenty of water for your dog, along with whatever training gear you use. You’ll need a leash, check cord, e-collar (optional), and whistle.
Chapter members will have some equipment available like retrieving bumpers, blinds, decoys, duck winger, bird launchers and bird bags but personal training equipment can help supplement chapter gear.
A crate or stake-out is recommended to keep your dog quiet and comfortable while waiting its turn to train. Please read through all of the guidelines that are outlined.
Safety is important at all times on the grounds:
- For all sessions, we require all puppies to have received all of their puppy vaccinations (recommend 4 month+ of age) prior to attending this training.
- Youth must be accompanied by a guardian. Children can not remain unsupervised during training days
- Training days are open to all levels of dogs and handlers looking to observe or volunteer without a dog are welcome.
