Breed Ring Handling
Beginning Breed Ring Advanced Breed Ring Problem Solving

If you purchased your dog as "show" quality & want to learn how to handle your dog like a professional, these are the classes for you. Our Breed Ring Handling classes are designed specifically for the first time exhibitors and owner/handlers who want to train and show their own dogs. They are taught with the same attention to detail and step-by-step instructional approach as all of our other classes. As a result, we often have a waiting list for our beginning classes. Because many owner/handlers also want to earn obedience, agility and other performance titles on their dogs, we teach our handling classes in a way that prevents confusion between other activities and allows simultaneous training in multiple arenas. We are proud to note that many of our students have owner-handled their dogs to conformation championships as well as advanced obedience titles.
