I'd be more than happy to drive out to York maybe once a month if someone wanted to share the gas expense. I owner handler/train alot of my dgs but always want input on my skill but I just never know how to ask. I think having a class would help people like myself, as well as help others who just need training for thier dogs. I think if more people did this we would even see numbers go up as well. More dogs would be trained, so owners would be more likel y to have their dogs out with handlers since their chances of winning are higher with atrained dog. Also having others learn to train themselves, more would show too. Win win for all I think having experienced GSD handers/exhibitors input on dogs and thier training would be great fr all.Also friends and I practice at Lumberton Park in NJ during the Spring/Summer/Fall months. If anyone would like to join us, let me know and we can plan a time to meet up there as well. Please let me know when the York classes start.
