ERTÜ is organizing a MEJÄ/forest tracking training seminar on 31 of October.-1. of November in Harjumaa, Estonia! The trainer is Antti Koski from Finland, who is also a MEJÄ judge. MEJÄ is a tracking event that is practiced in Finland, which is open to all dog breeds and which is trained with animal blood. Similarly to the retriever field trial (NOME-B) MEJÄ has different competition classes and the dog can receive a grade in their work. Everyone who is interested in this training event and would like to learn more about it is welcome to attend the seminar! The seminar will be held in English.
NB! Finnish MEJÄ rules are not accepted in Estonia, but the Estonian blood-scent tracking event (VJ) is close to the requirements of MEJÄ.
