Announcing Sept 27 and 28 we will be hosting a Test and AIMS clinic. Please sign up early is spaces are limited! Location will be CFFT in Lake Wales.

The NAVHDA Aims & Rules Clinic is to help dog owners and handlers understand the testing (https://www.navhda.org/about-the-navhda-testing-system/) system. This clinic instills NAVHDA philosophy, test mechanics, and the scoring system for each test.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NAVHDA TESTING SYSTEM

Participants will take to the field and water to judge and score dogs being run in a mock test setting.

The weekend will include helpful tips and tricks on handling dogs in NAVHDA tests.

Who Should Attend and Why?

  • People with their first dog will see how other dogs work and gain insight into what their dog is doing and why.
  • Novice handlers will learn how NAVHDA evaluates versatile dogs, and thus will be better prepared to handle their dogs in a test.
  • Experienced handlers will gain a deeper, more technical knowledge of how the team of dog and handler are judged.
  • Aspiring NAVHDA Judges are required to attend an Aims & Rules Clinic as one of the first steps in our Apprentice Judge Program.

If you have questions please reach out! We look forward to seeing you at the clinic!
