The Challenge is for hunt test people (and/or hunter) running AKC at the Senior or Master level, or UKC at the Seasoned or Finished level.  In two days you will run 22 to 24 challenging land and water blinds.  You will run blinds over points, past points, parallel-to-the-shore blinds, channel blinds and angle entry blinds. Some of the blinds that you'll see are pictured here. The object of the weekend is to challenge you and your dog so that when you finish the weekend you'll be able to approach tests with confidence.

We will teach you how to read your dog’s body language, when to stop and handle your dog, how to give the correct cast, what to do if the dog does not stop on the whistle or take your cast. You will learn timing. At the completion of the Challenge you and your dog will learn to run blinds on land and water with skill and confidence.

You will also run a set of land and water marks with blinds. You will be called to the line from a holding blind, carry and shoulder a shotgun. You will have a walk-up, diversion birds and poison birds. You will honor another working dog. Your dog will think he is at a hunt test.  If you need help we are here to walk you step by step through the process and will show you how to correct any problems that may occur.
