The Farmer / Lardy Symposium

A vision for revolutionary approach to a retriever training event was cast by Pat Burns. This training event would bring together the most elite retriever sport experts showcasing their techniques and knowledge to a group of dedicated, progressive handlers and their canine athletes. 

This vision became reality at the Farmer/Lardy Symposium held in the foothills of the East Tennessee mountains, on the Chad and Paige Baker estate. Led by the most influential powerhouses in the sport, Danny Farmer and Mike Lardy, the symposium provided four comprehensive, focused days that explored every training technique available.

This 11 hour video was produced to capture this event as if you were attending the symposium.
