Emphasis will be placed on actual fieldwork with day and night training. Hounds will be worked in a primarily wilderness area, however urban areas are available. A questionnaire for each handler is attached to determine classes and instructors. NPBA guidelines will be adhered to exclusively. All handlers that have not attended the NPBA’s Basic Scent Class should arrive by 8:00am on Sunday to check-in. The class will begin at 9:00am.

No alcoholic beverages are permitted at the camp. There are no special activities scheduled or provided for guests. The event is designed for the training of handlers and hounds. NO CHILDREN ARE PERMITTED AT THE SEMINAR.
