Pam's Classes Throughout the year, my classes proceed on an ongoing basis.  Each handling session is 6 weeks in duration with a two hour weekly class each Tuesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m.  The initial response of many is that 2 hours is a very long time for a class,  most having prior experience in only a one hour time frame.  From many years of familiarity in teaching show handing, I have discovered that these 2 hour classes work very well. The class format is made up of gaiting and stacking and examinations, coupled nicely with brief rest periods where we all discuss breeds, standards, and various incidents that may occur in the show ring. It is a good mingling of work and discussion. Even the younger dogs do very well with this arrangement. The classes are structured, with no walk-ins allowed.  CKC dog show rules are made available to each student as well as the handling book, copies of the bait recipe, and a reading list of specifically selected books covering subjects such as dog shows, canine structure and movement, and general interest. The Owner Handler Photo Album is a fun item and students are encouraged to supply show photos with themselves showing their dog. I will place these photos in the album and it will be available for perusal at all classes Building where handling classes take place: My handling classes are currently being conducted in West Lincoln (Wellandport) at 8223 South Chippawa Road. The training building is on private property, it is very large and the floor is totally matted. There is a washroom on site. The location is approximately 45 minutes from Hamilton and Niagara Falls. It is in a country setting, on a quiet road, with huge grassy walking areas. I supply bottled water, necessary literature pertaining to conformation training and for a nominal fee I also have a handling book. A completed and signed registration will be required from each student. All breeds and ability levels are welcome.
