What will
we learn?
Are you new to the world of showing your dog in conformation? If so, our beginner handling class is perfect for you! Focus will be on building ring skills and confidence in both handlers and their dogs. Handling teams will learn ring procedure, including gaiting patterns, show stacking and/or table work using a fun, positive approach. Novice dogs will learn to be comfortable in a variety of social situations, with new sights, sounds and sensations they are likely to encounter while showing. The beginner class will also address how a dog show "works," making entries, and making the best presentation for both handler and dog.
Two levels of show handling classes are offered: beginner and advanced. The beginner level class is for people who have little or no ring experience. Advanced is for people who have shown before or completed our beginner class. At the advanced level, experienced handlers will take instruction from a professional and be able to practice showing their dogs to their best advantage. Novice dogs with experienced handlers may join the advanced level class. Drop-ins are allowed only at the advanced level.
