Bulldogs:
For Weight pull training we have a great drag sled and plenty of weight. (I have the makings of a weight cart in the garage just have to get off my dead ass and build it).
We have a spring rope for Hang dog training; Sleeves and Blinds for Bite training; and I would like to set up  a tug of war rope.

And of course there will be plenty of help with straight forward OBEDIENCE.
  We would like to have simple classes on "How to show your dog" how to get your dog to stack for you, How to get your dog to move the best, to help show you what the judges are looking for. We will even go so far as to hold a MOCK conformation ring to get the pups used to what they will have to do in a real show.

Bon Fires:
The biggest point of the Working day, is to give you a reason to take the dog out, have some fun, and spend time hanging with friends and work your dog at the same time. 

& BEER:
Well that just goes without saying,  Bring what you think you can drink.

 

Please be advised:
There are a precious few trees here at the house.
Be sure to bring whatever you will need to care for your animals.  Think of this like show rules, crate your dogs, think about shade. The last thing I want is to cook someone's dog in a car on a hot July day.
