Beginner Conformation
An introduction to show handling, taught in an 8-week session. It starts at the beginning and progresses from class to class building each week on the handling skills learned in the previous classes. A single instructor teaches all 8 classes. If you enroll in an 8-week Beginner Conformation session, you will want to attend all 8 classes in the session.
Advanced Conformation
Caters to the needs and interests of those attending on any given night. Instructors rotate so both dogs and handlers are exposed to different ‘judges’ and different handling perspectives. Advanced Conformation is held every week, except the weeks of Christmas and New Years.
Junior Handling/Junior Showmanship
BKC occasionally offers a junior handling or junior showmanship class for younger people interested in learning the art of dog handling. This class focuses on building skills for junior handlers, children ages 8 and up (children younger that 8 may participate with the approval on the instructor). Junior handlers learn how to handle their dog, good sportsmanship and ring etiquette.
