Trimming your dog is not simply giving them a haircut. Grooming them for the show ring is not simply fluffing them up! When grooming your show dog you should always be thinking about your dog's form, the breed standard, and the function of the breed. Your grooming should accentuate that form and that function!
We discuss:
Expert discussions on Excel as an Owner-Handler: Understanding Form and Function and How to Trim Your Show Dog
NEW WEBINAR SERIES! "The Advanced Lectures"
In these webinars, we will explore two important topics and discuss what we think our students might be missing… those key concepts we REALLY want you to grasp! We will explore the highlights of each topic, how they intersect, and explain these concepts and how we feel their importance is perhaps overlooked or misunderstood. In these ‘Advanced Lecture’ webinars, you can expect to walk away with a new perspective and a rich understanding of our chosen topics and how they will lead to success in the show world. These topics are carefully chosen by your expert instructor, Allison Alexander, in an effort to help you to EXCEL as an owner-handler.
