Upcoming Seminars

After years of being harassed to "hit the road and share the knowledge", I have started dabbling in the giving of seminars aspect of SAR dog training. Trust me, trying to organize the last 22+ years of personal experience, successes to failures, to share with others is not as easy as it sounds!

Listed are the seminars/workshops that are planned to date. As my home team takes priority, seminars will be limited to no more than one per month at this time. However, you are welcome to join us up here in NW Montana at any time! If your team is interested in hosting a seminar, please email me at sardogs@bigmtnbelgians.com and I'll see what I can do!
