Pontchartrain Retriever Club is sponsoring a seminar at the Spillway with Mark Smith covering Basics into transition. Still some spots for handlers that want to bring dogs. Learn from one of the best basics trainers in the country. See the clubs Facebook page for more details. $50 for dog (6-18 months old) and handler. $25 for spectators.

There's one worth going to! Make the time if you can get there. Mark knows what he's doing...and how!

Thanks Bobby for posting. Remember everyone it is for all handlers that want to pick up good information, not only for the ones that want hands on work with Mark.

If Sonya and I were not already committed to judge that weekend, I would be all over this seminar.

This a great opportunity. I wish I could go. I'd love to know one or two of Marks secrets.
Oh,and my dog is named after him

We will allow walk ups if anyone is interested in coming out tomorrow for the seminar

How did it turn out ?

Great, I think everyone walked away with something to work on or think about for next dog. The new members with pups going thru force fetch really got a lot out of it. We are going to try to put on one in the spring for mid to advanced level. Not sure when or if Mark will do it, but will let all know sooner this time.

I can tell you from personal experience that as much as a pro would like to give seminars free or even cheaply, it's not practical. If travel is involved that adds to the difficulty. Most of us try to make our feeds practical for the clubs that host the seminar.

Evan, Mark did us a hugh favor. The spillway is so close to him there was not travel time, and we were able to do members that wanted hands on work for 25.00 and 10.00 for just coming if you are a member. 50.00 for non members hands on and 25.00 for non member to watch and listen . IT was a last minute thing so we only had 16 people but that worked great for us.

Great guy, isn't he? He knows what he's doing!

EvanG

Yes he is. He is also now doing something different. You can make a appt with him to work with you and your dog one on one for 1 hour and he sends you home with homework to do until next week.

I need to go visit him on "whistle sit."

This says everything about you evan. Why chime in at all!

Btw, you still havent sponsored this site, yet you keep spamming. you cant afford 100 bucks or so?

Oh, you think your teasing little nonhelpful post entitle you to advertise free?

And that would seem to define all your contributions. Did you drink the entire keg today, troll?
