The Saluda River NAVHDA Chapter has scheduled a series of seminars to be led by nationally reknowned versatile dog trainers. Our next seminar will be held in Spring 2027. All of these seminars are Train the Trainer type programs. These and future seminars are being provided to give our members the best tools with which to train their dogs. Registration will be open for each seminar to members before it is made available to the NAVHDA membership at large.

Our 2027  seminar will be led by Clyde Vetter of Sharp Shooter Kennels. This seminar will be a three day seminar with a subject of “the path from NA to UT” and held April 30 through May 2, 2027. Specific subjects covered will include force fetch and retrieving, field steadiness and duck search. The seminar will be open to up to 20 handlers and their dogs. Clyde has been a NAVHDA member since 1991, is a former Senior and Invitational Judge and is NAVHDA’s most prolific handler/trainer. He has handled 400+ dogs in NAVHDA tests with 90% passing.
