I will be there as well Eric. Dave said it would be in March last weekend, but now we finally have a firm date. Are you going to work Zoe during the seminar? This will be my second Flinks seminar, and each time Lowen has had a littermate participating. This time you'll see Lowen work, but I'm sure I'll bring her up to Stateline prior to that anyway.

Paivi,

I train with the TD of Stateline at another club, and I knew that Flinks was coming in '08 for about 6 months now and this post was the first time I had an exact date. That will tell you how early this is in the planning stages. I would go to Stateline's web site (http://www.statelineworkingdogs.com/) and shoot them an e-mail with these questions. The one thing I do know, is that I'll see you and Cody there!

It's geared towards Schutzhund. Bernard covers his philosophy on training in general, lectures on all three phases of the sport and then works dogs from sun up to sun down.

There will be a limited number of dog/handler teams participating, but an unlimited amount of observers, and yes not working a dog will be less expensive. All levels are welcome. The last Flinks seminar I was at had all levels, but mostly beginners. This one should be good because the club it's at is a pretty serious club, and a lot of my club will be there too. In addition, lots of work will be done because Bernard has worked with Dave Blank before and is comfortable with his helper work. Dave is the guy working Itor in the Drive and Focus DVD Leerburg sells. It's possible Steve House will be there too. LOTS of experience on the field with the three of them.
