"Our conformation classes are designed to give you, the handler, the skills to show your dog in the conformation ring."

Beginner and Advanced Show Classes 

Conformation classes are for any age, but it's advisable to start your dog as a puppy.  If YOU are a beginner handler, the Beginner class is the class for you, no matter the age of your dog.  If you have experience and want to fine-tune your handling skills, Advanced classes can help you accomplish your goals.

Trainers are Allison Claussen and Christy Heiman.  Allison has been involved with dogs for 35 years and has shown numerous dogs to their AKC championships, including French Bull Dogs and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.  She worked at the Ark Animal Hospital for 20 years and has also been involved in fly ball, agility and AKC obedience.  Christy is an excellent handler, handles German Shepherds and handled Higgins to his championship.
