TEST DRAWINGS

In an effort to help trainers/handlers understand test possibilities, particularly as trainers/handlers move their dog(s) from one level of competition to another, the CRC website now includes drawings of actual tests.
The drawings are arranged and labeled according to the designations used for HRC Hunt Tests and CRC Club Tests respectively (Started = Bronze, Seasoned = Silver, Finished = Gold). CRC hopes these drawings will help trainers/handlers set up training situations that prepare their dog(s) to succeed in competition and while hunting.
