WORKING TRIALS TRAINING

Acorn DTC are now offering Working Trials training at Oakwood Park Kennels. Some people who have expressed interest are only able to attend on weekdays, while others prefer weekends, so sessions will be held approximately every ten days, alternating between Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Due to the varied levels of ability of dogs and handlers, the sessions will be open, not run as courses. This has the disadvantage that everyone may be at a different stage of training but the advantage that we can learn from watching and helping each other. It also means that anyone who can attend on both Wednesday and Saturday may do so if they wish.
It is our intention to give help and tuition on all aspects of Working Trials training however it must be made clear that we are restricted on the amount of land available for tracking. Anyone seriously interested in competition will need to find somewhere they can practice longer tracks than our space will allow.
Sessions will start at 10.00 am and cost £5.00 they will last as long as it takes to work through all the basic exercises. Due to the nature of trials exercises, they do not all lend themselves to being worked as a ‘class’. For example heelwork can be practised as a group but sendaways would be done individually. Therefore if only one or two people turn up all work may be completed quite fast but if there are lots then it could take at least a couple of hours. A packed lunch might be handy!
