Our first day of training at Sharpe’s Farm was a big success with many new people and dogs. We made it through understanding the bureaucratic requirements and are all set for round #2 on Saturday, August 26, 2023.

We will be repeating and continually building upon our training and adding some additional activities, including the always-needed grooming tent where you will do hands-on this time.  And, this is a great chance to get all the new pups out and get them into the field on birds and some intro to swimming.  We will take the time to go over the NAVHDA training/testing and the AKC Hunt tests – the differences, the requirements for each, etc. and you can hear from people who have been through the tests.

Your training fee will include the purchase of two birds ($35 for 2 birds and training for the day). We do plan to have a few additional birds, but we really need you to indicate your interest here and sign up for the training online at northeastspinoneclub.org.  Training fees are kept low to bring you out to enjoy the day. We have really seen improvement in many of the handers and older dogs.  Besides, there is nothing like seeing the joy in your dog when it is doing what it was bred to do!

If anyone would like to put together a potluck we are open. Otherwise, bring your lunch.
