Is There Difference in Handling Classes?...You Betca There Is

Learning to free stack

We had taken our first handling class at Paws-n-Effect. Then someone had recommended one in Oxford. We figured we would try that one to see which one would be more helpful. So on Monday off we went to Oxford. I guess you could say we were the only ones there, (the only other one was her young niece who was learning how to start becoming a Jr Handler). It was a little more personalized and I had brought some questions so she was able to take the time to answer them. She had taught some little things like how to hold the lead and free stacking, that we hadn't gone over in the other class. Then on Tuesday we went back to Paws-n-Effect. There were more people at that class and it feels more like a show type of environment. For some reason I felt like I got more out of that class than the other. We went over taking her around the ring, stacking her on the table and presentation to the Judge. Sadie was a little wound up that night and was very wiggly on the table. But that's ok she's still learning. On the note of Judge presentation.....Rick was asked to play the role of a Judge because one of the other dogs was having an issue with a male Judge coming over to him. I had to turn away and smile because I knew that was the last thing he wanted to do...lol...but he agreed and was a good sport about. Yes, I owe him one...thank you sweetheart.
