Conformation
 Unlike obedience competitions where your dog is trained to perform certain exercises, conformation is the "beauty pageant" portion of dog shows. If you believe your dog is among the best of its breed, get him ready for the show circuit under the expert tutelage of professional handler Sam Rodriguez. In addition to how to "stack" your dog, Sam will teach you:
-
How to register for the show
-
Preparation for the show ring
-
Ring etiquette
-
Proper equipment
-
Presenting your dog in its best light
-
Dressing for success
-
Interpreting the judge's instructions
-
Judging - what to expect and how it works
"I hope if dogs ever take over the world and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are little dogs with some good ideas." -- Marc-Christophe

What a wonderful experience conformation class at The Canine Connection has been! It was a GREAT assistance in polishing my handling skills. It helped me a lot with my ringside manner, and gave me so many new insights on making my dog look better to the judge, bringing out the best in her. It turned my girl from a shaky, reserved puppy into an elegant, strut-her-stuff show dog. Her first time in the ring at 11 months, she took Reserve Winners! Thank you so much, Canine Connection, for offering an awesome handling class!
