Each year, MSDA aims to provide at least one standalone seminar, and we use this to offer some specialized instruction, or to introduce dogs and handlers to a sport that’s not within the usual “sporting dog” realm, or just to try out something new. These events include:
- September 2024 AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Judging Seminar led by AKC Field Rep Tom Meyer
- June 2024 Seminar: Retrieving for Upland Dogs led by professional trainer Mitch White
- 2023 Dock Diving Seminar & Try-It
- 2022 Barn Hunt Seminar & Try-It
- 2021 AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Judging Seminar taught by AKC Field Rep Tom Meyer
- 2021 Upland Dog Fundamentals Workshop led by professional trainer Jordan Horak
- 2021 Westminster (Virtual) Watch Party
- 2020 Field Training Basics: A Weekend Workshop
- 2019 Conformation and Obedience & Rally Stewarding Seminar
- 2018 AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Judging Seminar taught by AKC Field Rep Tom Meyer
In some years, MSDA also has hosted a summer pool party for MSDA club members, their families, and their guests. Dogs included, of course!
Information about seminars and other special events are announced on this website, in our newsletter, and on our private Facebook group.
