A "clinic" is an event typically held over a weekend, or
at most over four days. Clinics are given by expert Open handlers (often
hosted at someone else's farm), and participants usually work with their
dogs in either two short sessions or one long session each day. A clinic
can be a great experience for novices: not only will you receive an
expert's take on problems that you might be having with your own dog's
training and handling, you'll also have an opportunity to learn from
the problems that others are having with their own dogs. Even if you
decide not to attend a clinic as a participant, there's much to learn
from spectating. If you'd like your clinic to be featured on this page,
please email me.
