What The Club Can Not Provide You As A Member
» The club can not train your Retriever for you.
»
If you don’t have adequate time to train between club sessions, be fair to your
retriever, your club and you, and hire someone professional to train
your retriever.
»
Even if a professional trains your dog, you can still be an active member and enjoy a place to train to sharpen your
dog’s skills.
