SUMMARY:Yankee Chapter Test Prep Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Yankee Chapter Test Prep Workshop 8am – 5pm \nHow does this workshop differ from a NAVHDA Aims and Rules Clinic?\nNAVHDA Aims and Rules Clinics focus on the NAVHDA testing and judging system – on the scoring system\, what judges look for\, and what the elements of the test are designed to accomplish. \nThe Yankee Test Prep Workshop will focus on handlers’ actions and options in the field and at the water. We won’t be teaching any “tricks” or ways to “beat” the testing system. We will present practical and effective handling advice for both the Natural Ability and Utility Tests. The workshop is lead by a moderator with a panel of Yankee Chapter members\, including Judges and Pro Trainers. \nWhat’s the format?\nThe workshop will cover Natural Ability in the morning and Utility in the afternoon\, approximately three hours per session with a break in the middle of each. Participants can attend both sessions or just one. This is a people clinic\, not a dog clinic — you won’t be working your dog. We will have two handlers and their dogs to demonstrate\, as needed. \nThe workshop is free of charge to all Yankee members. Non-members will be asked to pay $10 and can apply that to a Yankee Chapter membership ($20) if they’d like. \nParticipants should bring something to sit on. Full-day participants should bring their own lunches\, beverages\, etc.

SUMMARY:Yankee Chapter Spring Pre-Test Training Clinic
DESCRIPTION:May 30\, 2026 @ 8:00 am – 4:00 pm \nRegistration at 8 am and the clinic will start at 9 a.m. We’ll be doing field and water work for dogs and puppies of all levels. Please note\, testing dogs train first. Once the testing dogs have had their chance for field and water we will move on to all other handlers/dogs. The Pre-Test clinic in Dresden has always been one of our most popular clinics. While we do our best to estimate the number of birds needed\, sometimes the crowd exceeds our expectations. We will email a pre-registration form to membership prior to the clinic. Please fill out this form so we can better manage bird counts. \nRegistration starts at 8:00\nAt noon\, a BBQ lunch will be served. We’d really appreciate it if you could bring a side dish\, salad or dessert to donate. \nDon’t forget to bring water\, stakes or crates\, something to provide shade\, and…most important…bug spray! \nIf your dog is in heat or may be coming into heat\, please tell the sign-up staff. We must ask you to run last to minimize distraction to the other dogs. Your understand- ing is hugely appreciated. \nPlease keep your dog on a leash! \nEven if your dog is mellow and under control\, someone else’s might not be. We do not want a confrontation or problem. Unless your dog is working in the field\, exercise area\, or water\, please make sure he or she is either on a leash\, chained to a stake or in a crate. That includes walking from your vehicle to the starting point for a field run. Please adhere to our leash policy not just at the fields but on your way to and from the water\, as well. \nNot your normal chapter! \nDirections\nTake I-295 to Exit 43. Go east on Route 197 through Richmond. Turn right onto Route 128. Go a mile or so then watch for signs and big green barn! (The field is just after Eastern River heading north and just before Eastern River heading south.)
