Herding clinic with Mike Hall: March 9-13
 
This Welsh trainer and shepherd is known and respected both for his results in the trial fields and for his deep knowledge and understanding of dogs and sheep. He qualified for and competed in the Welsh championship with his two dogs Beau and Cass summer 2011 and in the Welsh nursery finals with his dog Tom winter 2011.

We are honoured to have convinced him to come to France for a few days of training to warm us up for the new season!

Registration: Registrations are managed by Mike's wife, Christine. Please send her an email at  christinejhall@hotmail.com if you wold like to sign up.

If there is space left, she will confirm your participation and ask you to send us the payment, otherwise she will put you on the waiting list for possible cancellations.

Payment: Please send a check made out to Caninature for the full payment to
Caninature, 3 route du Mesnil, 27320 St Germain sur Avre. Your check will be cashed earliest two weeks before the clinic, so in early March, but we need an ensured budget for the remuneration and travel of Mike.

International Payments: If you can not send a check, please transfer the money to our French bank account. You find the account info here. Remember to mark the transfer with your name and "Clinic w Mike", so that we know what it is for and from whom.

In case of cancellation: If due to force majeure we can not hold the clinics, you will not be charged anything. We also accept your cancellation without penalty if we can replace you with another participant.

However, as our expenses for the organisation of these clinics are fixed,

 

if you cancel your participation without presenting anyone to take your place, and we can not find anyone to replace you, we must unfortunately charge you the entire participation fee. 

 
Practical information, questions ... I will contact to the participants a few weeks before the course with more practical information. In the meantime, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions!
