CONFORMATION TRAINING CLASSES

(Click here for Obedience Training)

SEE 2010 TRAINING CLASS SCHEDULE BELOW!  CLICK HERE

Classes run for 30 minutes and are strictly limited to 10 dogs, first come, first served. The cost to train in a class is $10.00, but punch cards can be purchased at the entry table: 10 classes for $80.00 for non-members; 10 classes for $50.00 for WKC members.  Rings 2 & 3 run two 30 minute classes starting at 6:30 PM. These two rings are for handlers and dogs that are experienced and need either none or a minimal amount of "teaching" being imparted by the trainer running the class. These are basically what is referred to as "run-thrus".

Ring 1 at 6:30 PM is devoted to Training Director Jeri El Dissi's special class for any handler, dog or puppies that need help in the three areas most commonly employed when presenting a dog to the judge: stacking, baiting the dog, and gaiting methods.

1. Stacking. Preparing the dog for approach of the judge, showing the bite to the judge and controlling the dog during the judge's examination.

2. Gaiting will include gaiting the dogs in a variety of patterns, how to hold the lead, when to change hands when moving a dog, at what speed to move a dog, how to stop in front of the judge, the proper way of doing a courtesy turn, when to do a turn in front of the judge.

3. Baiting from a stack and free baiting; moving and then baiting in place; when to bait and when to stack a dog.

All of this will still incorporate the usual run through, but extra help and instruction will be done on one of these three disciplines each week. Check the schedule below to see which discipline will be emphasized for any particular week.

On Wednesday evenings in January through May and September through mid-November (no classes the day before Thanksgiving), Waukesha Kennel Club, Inc. offers classes training dog fanciers to train their dog in preparation for exhibition in conformation. Classes are held in an actual show site—the Waukesha County Exposition Center in Waukesha. Classes are held in the 4-H Youth Forum building and start at 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM. WKC members act as judges to give potential exhibiters show ring experience.
