Conformation
Description Training the handler and dog in the art of showing their exhibits in the show ring to compete for points towards an AKC championship or to continue beyond that level. Though showing a dog looks easy, it takes some time to get the routine down. An experienced instructor will teach you and your dog exactly what is expected from you in the ring, from how to “stack,” or pose, your dog to how to show the judge the bite, or teeth. There’s a lot of jargon to learn, but your handling-class Instructor will get you up to speed.
Prerequisite: No prerequisites required, other than the dog must be able to heel on a show lead.
What to Bring: Bring yourself, your dog, treats for dog and a lead that can be used in the conformation ring.
