Special Announcement

California Workshop is a Benefit Event for Luann Pleasant

All proceeds from Mike’s workshop in California this March will go to a fund to assist professional trainer Luann Pleasant. A great trainer and friend to the entire field trial community, Luann is facing various stages of treatment to combat melanoma cancer. Her friends were looking for a way to help Luann, and her mother, Donna, as they face an uncertain future.

We are looking forward to 3 ½ days on the  beautiful Boatright/Goodrich Ranch, in Oakdale California.  There will be a festive dinner  and a raffle that’s sure to include prizes from all sorts of generous donors.  Please plan to attend!  If you can’t be there, but you’d like to contribute to the cause please register as an honorary observer!

  • About Mike

  • Handjem

  • Workshops

Mike Lardy has been the owner and head trainer at Handjem Retrievers since 1981. Elected to the Retriever Hall of Fame in 2004, Mike holds the record for winning seven National Retriever Championships.   more
At Handjem Retrievers, Mike and his assistants, Pat Burns and Ray Voigt, train 24 dogs daily in situations designed to prepare them for the rigors of all-age field trial competition. With facilities in Montello, Wisconsin and Boston, Georgia, Handjem offers year round training with outstanding land and water venues. more

Although Mike Lardy conducted his first seminar almost 25 years ago, it was his innovative workshop format, started in 1994, that really created a venue for Mike to coach trainers as they implement the TotalRetriever program with their own dogs. more
