The Advanced Lectures:

How to Highlight Breed-Specific Virtues

Showcase the unique virtues that set your breed apart with the right handling techniques

Live webinar: Wednesday, September 24th @ 4pm PT / 7pm ET

Every breed has unique traits that judges want to see, and knowing how to bring them forward is part of what separates advanced handlers from the rest. We want you to know how to accentuate the virtues your dog has - especially when they are unique features or hallmarks of your breed.

In this course, you’ll learn the handling techniques you are expected to know to show your dog's strengths based on breed-specific virtues.
