he CAMTL chooses to follow the pace at which the handler-dog team learns to develop its skills. In principle, the table below describes the skills grouped by what the majority of training schools refer to as Base 1, Base 2 and Base 3. At the Montreal Club, the team can develop at its own pace. Here is the list of skills taught in the introductory courses and required in order to « Become a Member »
If the introductory courses were followed elsewhere than the CAMTL, send an application to become a member by providing us with the information on courses already taken with your dog or the titles obtained, at camtl_net@yahoo.ca.
