This years training day was a big success. We had a-lot of people showing up to learn about hunt tests, and training. Some were there for curiosity. Some wanted to hone their skills, or work on a specific problem. Others were there to see if Fido could pass a junior, senior, or master hunt test. We had people sign up for the hunt test on Sunday after the training seminar. I saw quite a few returning people and dogs. For the most part the dogs and trainers that returned had made huge improvements. The dogs that were introduced to birds last year were working on steady to wing, or shot this year. I would like to thank all the people that made this event a success. The trainers, assistant trainers, gunners, and everyone on the hill that make everything happen. Without your help this event could not take place. We ran 35-40 dogs through the field in 1 afternoon. We had 3 or 4 different field running at the same time each having a handler there dog, 1 trainer, and 1 assistant trainer. We tried to start with the more experienced trainers and dogs in the morning. We took a break from individual training for the seminar. After the seminar we took time for questions and answers. After lunch it was back to training with the newer handlers. For 2008 we will be pre-registering to have a better head count. We may even change a few things on how the day is run, so keep an eye to the bulletin and website for more information. We hope to see you all back next year with a new puppy or a finished dog. Remember if your dog is doing something wrong, he thinks it is what you want, is probably trying to please you and is confused. You taught him to do it one way or another. You may not even know what you did wrong. It is your job to show your dog how to do it right in a gentle way he can understand. Thank you and good luck Mark Spurgeon Crimson Sky Vizslas
