The Ottawa Valley NAVHDA Chapter is holding an Invitational Aims Clinic on May 25/26 2024 at the Webfoot Outdoors / Rimrock Kennel Facility in Clayton NY.
We will have the privilege to benefit from Tim Clark vast knowledge and experience as our clinic leader. Tim has been a member of NAVHDA since 1988 he became a judge in 1998 has been a senior judge since 2001 as well as an Aims and rules clinic and Invitational clinic leader. Tim has handled and tested dogs at every level of NAVHDA including 16 Versatile Championsl titles in 20 attempts. He was one of the key architects in developing the Invitational clinic content. His hands-on knowhow and time spend in the Invitational tests will definitely be instrumental in helping all participants achieve better results.
