HOLD THE DATE!!!!!
Bill Hillman will be coming to Nashville, TN, the weekend of September 22-23, 2012. The Middle Tennessee Amateur Retriever Club will be hosting a two day seminar that will feature Bill's methods of training young dogs and then taking it to the next level.

You have seen and heard about the DVDs and all the topic threads on RTF, now you can see what it is all about in person and see for yourself. We are happy to have him coming south and it will be a wonderful training opportunity for you and your dog.

More information will be forthcoming as it becomes available.

When making plans for the fall, hope you will consider coming to Music City for a great weekend of dog training!!!

For some reason, the EE link shows not finalized. Better to just send a check and save the credit card fees. I can hold checks if you need me to.

There have been many posts about Bill's DVDs on this forum, this is a great way to get all your questions answered and see his methods in person.

Have had a great response to the seminar and considering all the other field events taking place on the same weekend, we are thankful. It is not too late; if you have been considering coming, go ahead and print off the application at www.mtarc.org and send to me. We are also having an optional training day on the Monday following the seminar at our place. If you want to get in some great technical water set ups, we have a 6 acre technical pond and have set up 7 wonderful tune-up blinds. We have a dedicated double T field as well as 6 pattern land blinds. Lots to do!!!
