Event Details
Practice Trials
Practice trials are held for the purpose of
going through the entire routine of a trial, so as to have members
fully accustomed and comfortable with the procedure, requirements,
rules, judging etc. It also affords excellent opportunities for
the dogs to experience the rigors of trial day before the actual
real event. We video tape most practice trials for later review.
See Video Sessions for further information.
