Rick Smith's
Pointing Dog Training Advanced Academy
Prerequisite: Must have attended an Intermediate Seminar

Thur, Fri, Sat & Sun, July 14-17, 2011

Here's your chance to put the finishing touches on your dog! Work one-on-one with your instructor and your dog on over 250 quail over the course of the Academy. You will put the final touches on whoa, steady to flush, and honoring/backing. This is the top level class available and will give you all the extra touches that make a good bird dog great.

Plan on long days, hard work, fun and learning. When you're not running your dog, you will watch and learn from seeing your fellow students work with their dogs. It all combines into a learning and training experience that is second to none.
