Dog Handling

& Body Language 2.0

Learn how we use our own body language - including eye contact and tone of voice - in the show ring!

In our webinar Q&A, seminars, and emails we are often asked about how to get your show dog to perform certain actions or exhibit certain traits in the ring. For instance, how to calm an overly exuberant dog or how to excite a disinterested show dog... how to encourage a dog to keep their tail up while moving, or how to discourage a tail that should not be up on the move...

In this webinar, we will cover these nuanced, but important, body language and handling techniques to help you to not just handle your dog, but really SHOW them in the ring.

Our full list of topics include...

  • How to use boy language in the show ring
  • Encouraging disinterested show dogs
  • Calming overly excited show dogs
  • The "kitty kitty" method
  • How to move in your "dance space" & your dog's "dance space"
  • Handler stress & mood
  • Commands & tone of voice
  • Getting the desired tail placement
  • Getting the desired carriage
  • much more!
