Day One, 9 am to 4 pm
Seminar participants meet with instructors, Ray and Martin who will give
an overview of the seminar content and schedule. The instructors will
introduce themselves, their professional backgrounds, and gundog
training experience. They will talk about their dog-training philosophy,
describe American and British training perspectives, and how these
styles together, can create a practical retriever or spaniel gundog.
After this meeting, participants will be placed into groups based on the dog's training level. Puppy to adult, beginning, started or advanced. The instructors will work with each person and their dog, one at a time. Participants will be expected to be attentive to all training work, and are encouraged to ask questions at any time.
Lunch is from 12 noon, with everyone back to the main training grounds by 1 pm.
Day Two, 9 am to 4 pm
Participants will meet in the morning to go over the day's schedule. Instructors
will talk to the group about moving the dog ahead in its training and
answer specific questions the handlers may have about their own dogs.
As the instructors work with each handler and dog, they will talk about
the owner's training skills and how it affects their dog.
Instructors will suggest what the handler might do to improve or advance the dog's field skills given the dog's training level: introduction to birds, retrieving, quartering, flushing, or steadying, blind retrieves, multiple retrieves and line drills. Instructors will explain the training exercise, what they do and how it works. They'll also note the dog's behavior and reaction so the handler learns to read their dog.
Day Three, 9 am to 4 pm
Instructors work with each handler and dog, then discuss training needs
for both. They summarize the dog's skills for the handler, and how to
move the dog forward. This summary includes suggestions for developing
the handler's skills, as well as training plans for the dog to work
on at home.
