Many of us have had the privilege of watching Ward and his dogs perform in the obedience ring. Their teamwork is unparalleled. Over the past sixty years, Ward has had many notable achievements. He has kindly agreed to lead an on-line seminar on a subject that will appeal to trainers at all levels.

Ward will be discussing training Directed Jumping from the puppy to the adult dog. Please watch the following video prior to the seminar: Directed Jumping Part 1 (Puppy):
