Membership opportunities
One of the prime objectives of the FVRTC is to ensure that amateur retriever trainers are provided with tools to build a successful partnership with their retriever that allows their dogs to be successful at either the hunt test or field trial level.
The FVRTC is a club of serious trainers. Everyone with a serious interest in retriever training & handling is welcome to join as long as they are willing to learn & attain the necessary skill sets. To facilitate this, the club holds regular training days for members looking to build a successful and competitive partnership with their retriever.
There are three categories of membership:
- regular membership is open to those individuals interested in the pursuit of training retrievers. Members of an immediate family can be included in a regular membership. A regular membership is entitled to a single vote.
- probationary membership All new members are designated probationary and assigned a mentor until they have been oriented to club rules, township expectations and training procedures
