Hello NSTRA
The exciting weekend of learning and trialing is rapidly approaching. We still have some openings to join but recommend signing up very soon as the clinic and trial are filling . See few photos of our amazing judges out there doing an amazing job!
Rocky Mountain Region
NSTRA Judging Clinic & Open/Novice Trial
Saturday, June 13th – Judging Clinic
Instructors: Dean and Kristy Goodall
The purpose of this clinic is not only to increase the number of qualified judges within our region, but also to help newer members gain a better understanding of NSTRA rules and procedures.
This will be an outstanding and informative clinic covering much more than just the rulebook. Dean has prepared several real-world “what if” scenarios, accompanied by video examples, highlighting situations that commonly arise during trials where handlers and judges may be uncertain of the correct response.
In addition to rule interpretation, field tactics and handling strategies will also be discussed to help improve both handler performance and overall success in the field. Whether you are interested in becoming a judge or simply improving your trial knowledge and dog handling skills, this clinic will be extremely valuable for members of all experience levels.
