NAVHDA Youth Testing Incentive

The goal of the NAVHDA Youth Testing Incentive Program is to educate and encourage youth to participate in the NAVHDA testing programs through partial reimbursement of the applicant’s test entry fee. Any member under 19 years old that handles a dog in a NAVHDA sanctioned test is eligible for a 75% refund of their paid test entry fee...and the Keystone Chapter will cover the remaining 25% for any youth handlers that run in a Keystone test!
