Pheasant Valley Farm between Reading and Lebanon, PA

Our training day is designed to help you learn about AKC Hunt Tests. If you have a pointing dog and want to try the Junior test or have a Junior dog and would like to try the Senior test this day is for you!

The goal of this training day is to show you drills you can do in your own yard to get your dog ready for hunt tests. Even show you some training tools you can make or purchase to help you. It will be set up with training stations for different levels (Junior and Senior).
Participants will be assigned to groups according to experience and interest. The event will begin with separate group introductions to AKC Jr Hunt Tests and Sr Hunt Tests. This group activity will include explanation of the test requirements and a demonstration. Following the introduction, smaller groups will go to individual stations to participate with their dogs in drills to help prepare your dog for testing.

The activities will run from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM then we will have a Pot Luck Luncheon following by the club’s annual meeting. If you do not have a dog you want to run in hunt tests you are encouraged to come join us for lunch and the meeting!

Fee for participation is $40 and can be paid by check or via Pay Pal. Please be sure to note it as Training day, so we know where to apply your payment.
