Advanced Helper Seminar
Advanced Helper Seminar, hosted by the Eastern Region of GSSCC at L'Avenir, Quebec in February 22-23, 2003, seminar presenter, Raino Fluegge.
Morning 1 started with a presentation by Raino in the Conference Room. The rules, procedure etc were expained and all questions were answered.
The remaining of the day was spent working in the barn, practising and networking. A great experience for Jack & Brian.
The evening was spent reviewing the video tape from the days work.
Day 2 was similar except we worked dogs at the end.
The seminar philosophy was that you had to learn the techniques and the proper use of the equipment before working dogs.
