SHOW RING
Training your dog for the Show ring
Our professionally designed training center is especially built to suit the needs of training a dog for the show ring. Matted patterns for the dogs are designed to teach the technical details of gaiting your dog for you and your dog to learn.
Mirrored walls are also set up to show the appearance of your dog when stacked in show position as well as teaching new students what your dog looks like when you stack them. Allowing both the dog and student to learn what techniques work best for you.
There are ring gates set up, like those at a show, to get the student and dog use to what obstacles are set up around the ring.
TRAINING SESSIONS
Teaching and learning patterns

We will cover all aspects of how a dog show is ran and how to compete in a dogs show, we also will help students to learn how to enter a dog show and what appropriate attire is for the show ring. But more importantly we will teach students how to have fun with their dog.
