Hi! My name is Gretchen Brown. I have been teaching conformation training and handling professionally for 20 some odd years. I am coming today on behalf of expertvillage.com to teach you how to train and show your show dog. A professional handler can be good, can be bad. If you choose to send your dog out with a professional handler, you may lose the dog for several weeks while it is being trained. It may also go out the whole time it is being shown and live with the professional handlers. Handlers do condition the dogs, they do train the dogs better often times than the humans do. If you choose to show your dog yourself you may have to add some more training time to get the dog to where you want it and you get more bonding if you show your dog yourself rather than send it away with a pro. I hope I have been of some help to you this afternoon. You can contact me through the web site commanddogtraining.com. We run classes every Wednesday night and we are based out at Fort Lauderdale. Thank you.
