USE OF TRAINING GROUNDS:
Because the club does not own training grounds, Thunderstruck Retrievers allows club members to train on their property when it is available during weeknights and weekends. Please text or call Todd or Benita for permission to train on their grounds and set up a training time in advance.
Club members are encouraged to contact each other for training. When training, each person/group is responsible for bringing their own training equipment, birds, and workers. Live flyers may be purchased from Thunderstruck Retrievers, if available.
Please be mindful of others who are also training dogs and the pro trainers who lease the property.
Please be respectful of land owners living on the properties:
**Do not train or drive by houses and kennels. Watch for dogs!!
**Use approaches to access training grounds and use roads. Do not drive on the alfalfa!

HELPING WITH CLUB ACTIVITIES:
Club members are encouraged to participate in club activities, to help at club trials and tests, and to work on scheduled work days. The club only functions with full support of all its members at these events.
2022 Events: June 10-12 Hunt Test with O/H Qualifying, July 29-31 Field Trial, August 19-21 Hunt Test with O/H Qualifying, September 30-October 2 Field Trial.

KEEPING GROUNDS CLEAN:
Members shall pick up and dispose of cans, shell casings, birds, and litter for which they are responsible.
ACCIDENTS:
The Vikingland Retriever Club or the land owners will not be liable for personal injuries that may occur on club-leased property or other properties that are being used for club-sponsored events.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS/AMATEUR TRAINERS PAYING FOR USE OF GROUNDS
Professional trainers and non-member amateurs pay to use/lease Thunderstruck Retriever grounds. Unless he/she is a professional trainer that you are paying to train your dog, most trainers expect you will either throw birds or pay a day-training fee in order to run their setup, use equipment, pay for birds and workers, etc. Please work this out with the trainer if you ask to train with him/her.
