TRAINING DAYS
Big Sky NAVHDA will have our first training day on May 2, 2015 at Muddy Dog Ranch, north of Great Falls. (Directions are posted below)
Please RSVP to Phil Matteson or Mark Troyer so that we have an idea how many birds to bring.(email or text is best- email addresses on the web page)
Training day fee of $10 will apply, to help the Chapter cover our insurance. Training birds will be available at cost. (Cost will vary depending on supplier and type and volume of birds we purchase for the day, so RSVP will help us keep costs down.)
Our insurance requires that you be a Big Sky NAVHDA member to participate in training days. Membership application link is on the webpage. Membership forms will be available on site that day also.
Please bring a stakeout or crate to confine your dog when other dogs are running in the field. Bring your own dog water, dish, leash and training aids. Bring your own lunch and lawn chair. If your dog is at the age we will be shooting birds over it, please bring your own shotgun ammo. Our insurance and NAVHDA rules require all shotguns to be break open action shotguns. We will have guns available if you don't have a break open action.
We all pitch in and help each other, so please plan to come with the idea in mind to help out with other folks' dog training scenarios, just like they will help out with yours. Training days function on a volunteer basis. To be successful we all have to help each other.
We will seek input from the attendees at this training day regarding frequency and locations of future training for this year.
