June 13-14 2026 Clinic & Trial

NSTRA Judging Clinic & Open/Novice Trial

Saturday, June 13th – Judging Clinic

Instructors: Dean and Kristy Goodall

The purpose of this clinic is not only to increase the number of qualified judges within our region, but also to help newer members gain a better understanding of NSTRA rules and procedures.

This will be an outstanding and informative clinic covering much more than just the rulebook. Dean has prepared several real-world “what if” scenarios, accompanied by video examples, highlighting situations that commonly arise during trials where handlers and judges may be uncertain of the correct response.

In addition to rule interpretation, field tactics and handling strategies will also be discussed to help improve both handler performance and overall success in the field. Whether you are interested in becoming a judge or simply improving your trial knowledge and dog handling skills, this clinic will be extremely valuable for members of all experience levels.
