Bird Dog Training
Bird-Dog Training
The Wine Country Chapter understands and honors the special connection between bird dog and its owner, handler and trainer. In an effort to bring together bird dog enthusiasts to train, hunt and build community, we are invested in creating bird dog event days.
Women on the Wing Wine Country Chapter and Nor-Cal North American Versatile Hunting Dog Assc. (NAVHDA) are collaborating to offer our bird dog owner-members a unique opportunity to observe and/or participate in a NAVHDA Training Day. This unique opportunity
Offers our members the chance to observe and/or participate in (with registration) a Versatile Hunting Dog Training Day, to determine whether NAVHDA membership and their program of training and testing opportunities are of interest.
