Specialty Classes - Hunter-Retrieve
HUNTER RETRIEVE
The hunter retrieve class introduces handlers and dogs to the basic exercises a dog must perform to earn their first AKC hunt title. Depending on each dog’s level of profiency, they may work on distance, blind or double retrieves as well as hand and whistle commands.
Please note that this class is held outdoors so there could be issues with weather, tall grass, insects, etc.
Pre-requisites:
RETRIEVE
The retrieve class teaches the formal dumbbell retrieve required in the Open obedience classes and provides the basis for what dogs needs to be successful in flyball, hunt work, and other sports requiring a solid retrieve. The dogs separately learn the three basic parts of a retrieve (take it, hold and give) and by the end of class can put them together into a competition retrieve.
Depending on the dog, handlers can expect this to be one of the toughest classes they have ever taken. It requires daily practice and as we jokingly say in class, “a handler who is more stubborn than their dog”.
