New Conformation Class
I am very excited to announce that Yvonne Chohan will be teaching a Monday, 12-12:30pm four week conformation class to start on June 22! Registration is open for this. We hope to make this a regular, ongoing class.
New Conformation Class Policies
Effective immediately, we are going to ask that people not bring in season bitches to conformation class. The space is simply too small to ask other dogs, young males in particular to deal with such a challenging distraction. While we understand that males may be exposed to in season bitches at dog shows, we don't feel that group classes are someplace where a dog should have to deal with that.
Also, we occasionally have dogs that can overstimulated and reactive during class. We are going to ask that if anyone's dog becomes reactive, which we define as barking or lunging at other dogs, that the owner step out of the room with their dog and walk them around a bit to see if they can relax and settle down. If they can, they are welcome to return to the room. If they can't, or if multiple dogs can't we will have them alternate being inside while the other dog steps out, then do our best to put them in different classes in the future if need be. We are not referring to dogs who may bark once or twice, only if a dog really can't focus and becomes disruptive to the class.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or need any clarification.
