Day 39 of the NASDU EDD level 4 course. We've one day of training left being tomorrow, then two full days of Independent Endpoint Assessments. My work is almost done✔️
Zoe and Frank you've got this 😁
All one-to-one live venue real time training, green dog novice EDD handler.
The training has been spread out over a number of months which started in November 2023, this helps with life and financial responsibilities.
The May 2024 NASDU Overseas Endorsed International Tracker Dog Handler Course, graduates. We only had one paying customer, BUT off the back of that I managed to train three local Anti-Poaching Dog Handlers / Trainers.
Yes I had out of pocket expenses as did others whom are actively involved. However, it's so bloody rewarding I'd do it all again tomorrow in a heart beat.
The Zimbabwean beneficiaries of the complimentary training, housing and feeding. We're two key members of the Anti-Poaching K-9 Foundation TRUST and one senior Dog Handler from the Sebakwe Anti-Poaching and Conservation Group.
Plus all four dogs supplied by the Anti-Poaching Canine Foundation TRUST received quality rigid refresher training, complying to British Standards. Operational dogs benefit greatly by going back to basics undergoing proper supervised refresher training. Sometimes training issues may have become habbit due to operations and restrictions. This course is a fabulous opportunity to check and fix the dogs simultaneously.
You can help by booking yourself on the September 2024 course.
Great Memories with much more to come 😁
This is from the final evening of May 2024 NASDU Overseas Endorsed International Tracker Dog Handler Course.
Come and join us on the September 2024 course, become part of it and help make a difference 😀
Day 39 of the NASDU EDD course Zoe and #fearlessfrank 😁
Join us in Zimbabwe September 2024. For the next #NASDU Overseas Endorsed International Tracker Dog Handler Course.
Why ?
In short you'll be helping the situation in an area I'm operating in and have become extremely passionate about, that being Sebakwe Mahamara in the Midlands of Zimbabwe.
I'm working with and supporting two outfits the Anti-Poaching Canine Foundation TRUST and the Sebakwe Anti-Poaching and Conservation Group.
Why?
Because I like them and what they stand for. Neither are big fancy organisations feathering their own nests or ego's !!! It's all about conservation and protecting what wildlife is left and ensuring it lasts for future generations. NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS of which I feel proud and humbled to be part of.
You too can have that exact same feeling, by jumping on the next course. Talk to Billy a learner/Supporter/Friend (I'm not using the word customer as it doesn't fit) from the very first course in May of this year if you don't believe me at Phoenix Working Whites,Whippets and Welshies in New Zealand
