Wisconsin River Chapter North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association WRC NAVHDA is a group of novice and experienced owners, trainers, breeders, and enthusiasts of versa All handlers benefit from attending chapter activities.

We are centered in Dane County and serve primarily the south central Wisconsin area. Our membership has a mix of experienced and novice handlers who love working together to share their knowledge and experience in the development of our versatile hunting dogs. Some members are passionate hunters and trainers who are striving for a NAVHDA prize, while others are simply interested in improving their dog’s hunting skills at our monthly training days. Whatever your interest or level of experience, we will help you achieve the best for you and your dog. WRC has a cooperative spirit that encourages all members to actively participate in the Chapter activities. We encourage members to volunteer for various tasks, from coordinating a lunch at a training day to working at one of the test events sponsored by our Chapter. These include training days, handler clinics, training seminars, apprentice judge training, spring and fall tests,
e-collar and equipment training, mock tests, and veterinary health advice. We are versatile pointing gun dog enthusiasts with a passion for enjoying our well trained dogs. We have joined together for training and testing to improve our dogs, to enhance our dog handling abilities, and ultimately improve the versatile breeds.

Hey Dog Trainers!

Donna sent out an email recently about Tim Kill’s obstacle course workshop. I took his course last fall with my dog Beck as we were working on some obedience training, enrichment exercises, and improving our bond.

This was such an exceptional experience. Of all the dog classes I’ve taken over the years, I really took away a lot of knowledge and greater appreciation for my relationship with Beck. She learned more about her body movement and paying attention more intentionally.

As with most things, what you put in is what you’ll get out of it with your dog. This is an incredibly generous offer from Tim. And I guarantee you will learn something new with your dog. Please take advantage of the opportunity with such an intuitive and thoughtful dog trainer! ❤️
