Have you and your dog graduated from the Introducing Birch and Exteriors and Vehicles with Birch courses?

Then you should be ready to take the plunge to tackle some more advanced concepts!

Are you interested in trialing?

Show your dog some of the very same odor puzzles they may encounter at a trial and ensure they are able to hunt anywhere!
