Keep an eye out here for next scheduled classes

Show Handling or "Conformation" classes will be held in Arnprior. We talk about movement, breed standards, how to enter a show and how to survive the show circuit as a newcomer. We support all our clients and often follow our beginner handlers around the shows to do some video taping and give them encouragement.
Susan and Star starting thier show career
We Video tape some classes to give our clients and idea of how they are doing and to get a look at how the dogs are doing. We are often able to capture images of a good stack or nicely balaned movement

We encourage puppies, and allow them to work at thier own pace. We stress attitude and work hard to keep things happy and motivational for both clients and the dogs.
We work with handlers to iron out those little problems and to perfect each dog and handlers performance.
We provide written handouts at almost every class setting out some of the basics. Classes are low pressure, with lots of opportunity to share experiences and expertise .
