Welcome to the registration form and bird ordering form for the Monthly Training Clinics. As was the case last year registration is required in advance of a clinic. The object is to be able to schedule the resources, trainers and equipment to reduce standing time. The important thing to remember is that handlers are responsible for being at the right place, on time and to initiate working with their dogs rather than sitting and waiting to be called. The handlers should also offer to help others who have similar issues or maybe have a problem which they, themselves, have successfully resolved.

To help with the planning and scheduling please complete the following.

Note 1: if an event is postponed or rescheduled it is necessary to confirm your order with Andy Uhler at andyu@hickoryrunnavhda.com. This is necessary since the change may mean that your schedule may conflict and you may not be able to attend or your training needs may change.

Note 2: If you need to change your order before the close date this form can be used. Simply check the Change Order Box and resubmit the form.

Note 3: Please order only those birds that you will use at the training.

Note 4: Hickory Run Chapter charges $5 per dog per clinic to cover expenses such as permits and insurance. If you have ordered birds through the club there is also a $3 service fee for the order in addition to the cost of the birds. All fees are payable at the beginning of a clinic.

Note 5: Birds will be distributed at the beginning of the first day of the clinic, if you cannot be there on the first day please make arrangements with some else to pick up your birds and pay for them. Hickory Run can not be responsible for birds that are not picked up on the first day. Please bring your own crate (normally a cat crate will work) to store the birds until your are ready to use them. If you have ordered ducks or pheasants please make sure your crate is large enough to hold them.

Note 6: If you have ordered birds and are unable to attend you are still responsible for the cost of the birds.
