Yankee Golden Retriever Club
Serving New England Area Golden Retriever Enthusiasts
Log In / Log Out
This informal field training group meets weekly on Wednesdays at the Delaney WMA in Stow MA. Training runs from April 30 through November 19, 2025.
Attendance is open to all full Yankee members, and to this year’s participants in the Yankee field classes. Each handler may train one or two dogs. Puppies are welcome.
This is not a class. Some of the more experienced members will assist in organizing the training sessions, which can include drills and setups for both working certificates and hunt tests. All who attend are expected to participate in the process of designing the setups and take a turn working the various jobs. You can always modify any setup for your dog’s level of training. This is a supportive group and we want all the handlers and dogs to succeed.
Participants should bring appropriate equipment, including a radio, ear protection, duck call, chair, white coat, bumpers and/or ducks. It’s helpful to have starter pistols, decoys, blinds, and wingers, so please bring these items to training if you have them.
Start times will vary, depending on the weather and the available daylight, but we will try to have both a morning session and an afternoon session through September if there are enough participants.
Everyone is free to attend either session any week to accommodate their preferences and schedule.
