For trial/training helper work you can't beat PRC in this area. We just don't have an OB trainer and certain equipment at the moment so I am forced to look elsewhere. Also, because of schedules, PRC meets once per week and sometimes twice. I like to train more than that if possible and I do so with seasoned schH guys whenever they are available. They have the eyes and insight that I need to progress in a positive way. | I agree with larry...twice a week for protection work is ALL you want to do. Everybody likes the bitework, but there is a very good reason for the twice a week (max) training for bitework. It is the part that puts the most pressure on a dog. That can be good or bad in a heartbeat.
