February 2018 Training Day The Decoy Challenge

2018-11-17T17:04:52-07:00Monday, February 5, 2018|0 Comments

The February training day turned into a really fun event with the "decoy" challenge, wherein a bird was thrown into a very large spread of decoys (including the kind that move around!) The dogs were timed when they crossed back over the line with the bird (younger dogs) and when the trained dogs delivered to hand. Several handlers re-ran and bettered their times, changing the final results. Results were:

Junior went to "Ellie" Caringello (20.36); Biz Carngello (24.93) and Ty Caringello (39.93)

Senior went to Gracie Reilly (26.63); Ben Mauzy (28.07) and Trooper McGinnis (29.36

Master went to Shooter Judd (27.83); Trixie Reed [...]

Introducing the MRC Training Blog and our blogger John Schulte

2018-03-26T13:22:53-07:00Friday, December 29, 2017|Comments Off on Introducing the MRC Training Blog and our blogger John Schulte

The Marin Retriever Club has asked Dr. John Schulte to write a Training Blog for this website. We also asked him to introduce himself.

So here’s Johnny.

My interest in retrievers began in 1953 when I was taken by an older gentleman to his duck club in Los Banos. Besides the Wool Growers Restaurant, Los Banos is most famous for its mud. To retrieve a wounded bird that was swimming away from you was enough to induce a heart attack. I could see the value of a good dog.
From 1966 until 1970 were 4 wonderful years [...]

1-Preparation for running a Hunt Test or Field Trial

2018-08-09T15:53:00-07:00Thursday, February 1, 2018|0 Comments

In this blog we will go through all the steps the handler must learn in preparing for training and testing. We will review all the steps in preparation for running a Hunt Test or Field Trial.

Nothing sabotages a training day more than getting all set up and finding out the batteries in your wingers or e-collars are dead.
After putting [...]
