FREE WEBINAR SERIES - KEVIN CHEFF
Why Your Dog is
Failing Blinds
 And Exactly What to Do About It.
Kevin Cheff breaks down exactly why dogs fail the blinds at Senior and Master level, and what a real fix looks like.
🗓️ Wednesday, March 25 - 7pm CDT
Session 1
🗓️ Thursday, March 26 - 7pm CDT
Session 2
You train hard.
Your dog still falls apart on blinds.
You train consistently. You care deeply about doing this right. But when you get to the test, you're losing control on the blinds - and you're not always sure why.
It's a frustrating place to be. You've entered more tests hoping repetition fixes it. You've watched YouTube videos. You've asked your training group and gotten five different answers. And you're starting to wonder if you're missing something fundamental - or worse, if you're doing damage you can't repair.
In this free two-part webinar series, Kevin Cheff will discuss what's going wrong - and give you a plan to build a compliant, reliable dog you know can get through the blinds at a hunt test.
Session 1
You run lots of blinds in training, but are you truly prepared for the demanding blinds you'll see in a Master test? Kevin discusses specific concepts that you must add to your training plan.
Session 2
Concepts matter - but if your dog's fundamental standards aren't sound, nothing holds up at a test. Kevin introduces a mindset shift that changes how you train every single session.
Advanced blinds are made up of multiple fundamentals stacked together. When those fundamentals are fluent, the test becomes manageable. Kevin will show you exactly how to get there.

Your Dog is Blowing You Off Because You're Focused on the Wrong Things.
Thursday, March 26 | 7 PM Central
Â
- What a "self-employed" dog is telling you about your training

- Why most handlers are focused on the wrong thing in training (and what to focus on instead)
- How concepts and fundamentals work together - and why you cannot separate them
Meet Kevin Cheff . . .Â
Over the past 30 years, I’ve trained and handled some incredible retrievers, including 6 Canadian National Champions, multiple U.S. and Canadian National Finalists, and dozens of field champions with hundreds of all-age points.
But in 2015, I made a shift.
I stepped away from training dogs full-time and leaned into what had become my greatest passion: coaching people and helping them understand how to train their own dogs.
I love helping passionate amateurs learn the art and science of retriever training—guiding them through the tough stuff, building their confidence, and watching their dogs thrive.
Because there’s nothing more rewarding than standing beside a dog you’ve trained yourself—knowing every step, every lesson, every challenge got you there.
