We are pleased to offer an online video series covering many basics relating to NACSW trials. These videos are short overviews meant as a complement to the rule book and information on our website.
Some of the videos also provide additional insight to some of the behind the scene pieces of NACSW trials including a segment with the founders of the sport, Amy Herot and Jill Marie O'Brien, sharing some of the history of NACSW.
We are providing 23 short video segments covering a wide variety of topics with around 2.5 hours of video in total. See below for a complete list of topics. Most segements are around 5-10 minutes each.
Anyone new to trialing, new to NACSW, or anyone who just wants more information on NACSW trials may find these helpful.
We have made the Introduction, History of the NACSW and Handler Membership and Dog Registration videos available to everyone for free.
Cost for the full video series is $15.
