WHOC training days are a full day of training. Morning is working on skills needed for the WHOC style of courses. After lunch, course building, handling and analysis for the humans whilst the dogs have a nice rest. Afternoon is running WHOC courses and putting those skills into action.
Training days funds will pay for the venue hire and any monies remaining will go into the Team GB Fundraising account.
