O.K. Tip for this week..
After you know your dog is stacked in place, (Move ONLY the feet that NEED moving!) and you are still standing to the side, for a good look over, be sure to lift the dogs head up gently, and back a little, with your right hand, while still keeping tension with your left hand under the collar. This will put your dogs head up (instead of them looking like a turtle) and give your dog a much more elegant look.
Also, if you stand in front of your dog, do NOT bait the dog high up. Bait the dog at its eye level or lower. Baiting your dog too high gives the judge the impression of a rounder eye shape, arches the neck the strong way, and puts a dip in the back and whithers..
Hopefully, I'll be able to see you all soon! Take care, stay safe thill then, and keep practicing when you can!! ❤️

O.K. I'll admit that I've been remiss for the last couple of weeks. That doesn't mean I haven't thought of everyone and felt very guilty!!
Anyway, here is my tip for this week!!
Did you know that AKC and the Handlers Program is offering seminars on June 6th, June 27th, and July 4th?? The second two ore for juniors, but they still might have information you can use!!
Go to the AKC Registered Handlers Program FB page, and you will see the details!!
Until next week.. Stay safe!!! I miss you all!!
