Dog Training
August 8, 2020 @ 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM
Please send bird orders to Kirk by Monday night prior to training day. No order = no birds.
WHAT TO BRING FOR YOUR DOG
The following list are items you will need during training:

- Water bottle with squirt cap to carry in the field for your dog.
- Slip lead or collar and lead.
- Kennel /crate in vehicle or short tie out stake.
- Other training gear you may want to use such as bumpers, tennis balls, whistle, etc. The club has some equipment available like retrieving bumpers and a zinger winger.
