Service Description
THIS IS A DROP-IN CLASS. Drop-in classes do not require preregistration. You can just show up with your dog (bring copies of rabies, parvo, and distemper vaccines your first time only). You will pay at the door (cash or check) each time you come. The instructor is Alyssa Perkins. The official term for a dog show is a conformation show. Meaning the act of conforming or producing conformity. And the dogs in the show are conforming to their individual written breed standard. While a dog show may look like a beauty pageant, it’s not. Dogs are not being compared to each other; they’re being measured by how closely they conform to the written standard of their particular breed. This class teaches you how to show the dog to its best advantage. The class level ranges from beginners to the most advanced and class instruction is geared to the individual needs of the students. This conformation class will prepare you and your dog for the show ring. You will learn what it takes to be successful. You will practice stacking and gaiting your dog while learning show ring procedures. You will have ample opportunity to ask questions of successful handlers. Please be sure to review our Policies and Procedures section for more information about what to bring to class, make-up classes, etc.
