I've compiled a list of four retriever HRC clubs within a two/three hour drive. I'm rather isolated on the SC coast.
Is it worthwhile for the training opportunities? Membership dues for all four would seem to be a drop in the bucket compared to other costs in this hobby. I would welcome the opportunity to work outside of day to day training routine. Making friends, and gain hands on experience would be a bonus.
Just wondering if it is realistic. Hoping by first of the year to have a handle on basic obedience. She just needs reinforcement of what she already taught in OB. Well mannered, big motor and drive, at one time wasn't gun shy, and no bird exposure as of yet.
I would consider AKC structured clubs as well, but haven't compiled that list as of yet.
Are clubs worth the investment? Any guidence appreciated.
