UScA helper seminar and recertification - do I need a helper scorebook?
Hi, I have active UScA membership and saw an upcoming helper seminar I'd like to attend but I don't have a helper scorebook...
Do I need to get one before the seminar? Can I attend the seminar without it? What are the repercussions if any? Thanks in advance! |

I would contact the club. Sometimes the seminar part does not require a person have a USCA helper book. You should have a sleeve, scratch pants and correct footwear. You MUST have a USCA helper book and correct helper attire (which includes a jacket) to participate in a sanctioned helper classification. Most also require you to bring a dog that can be worked. Only fair.
Hopefuly Frank will see this just in case I have missed anything.

We are making sure that everyone has a helperbook, so that way, one less thing to do for any future. Our helper Seminar is this weekend with James Laney. Very cool, as we have know James for a long time and he is an excellent helper and instructor.
Should be fun. All levels, multiple breeds to work, including 3 dogs from a World level (Yakk, Enzo at 10.5 at still working and Frodo) helping out. I have talked to everyone to see who needed what and we made sure all is taken care of. First and foremost-------> STARBUCKS FOR ALL!

I know when I do helper seminars, I allow all to participate. The only drawback you will have is you will not receive credit for attending the seminar because you do not have a Helper book to document it.
Who is the teaching helper? What club is putting it on? I can try to get in touch with them and ask them to make sure you can participate. Frank |

Thanks, but not necessary It's at Ronny Burmer's club - Ocean State SchH Club and the teaching helper is Don Yelle. I will get in touch with Ronny and ask all these questions, I was just wondering what the "official" rules are.As far as credit for the seminar - I am mostly going in order to learn and improve my (very very very basic) helper skills When I have a scorebook, pants, and jacket, and even a proper stick I will go for another seminar and start the process of certifying myself. I just hope I can participate in this seminar you know? Thanks again for info! |

Just wanted to follow up
The seminar was awesome, and definitely learned a ton! I even ended up buying someone's brand new scratch pants at a discount to boot (they didn't like the helper work too much, and the pants were brand new!). Don Yelle is a great teaching helper, and I am happy to say that I passed my basic trial helper certification test! I still have lots to learn, and am only starting the journey to becoming a helper, but so far I'm 1 for 1 LOL. If anyone is interested in helper work, I would recommend going to one of these seminars, even if you don't plan on getting certified. It's lots of fun, and you learn a lot, and it gives a handler a different point of view
