All Breed Handling

Handling dogs and dog shows are my passion. I love the challenge of presentation. Successful handlers are truly artists! My philosophy is simple—showing must be fun, otherwise the dogs lose interest and the handler fails to achieve that "Wow, look at me!" attitude that is so important in the ring. I believe in starting puppies early and making the training a fun game. Build the attitude and confidence now and you will have it evermore. I have had the pleasure of showing many dogs representing many breeds and each win has been a thrill. To all of my clients, thank you for the vote of confidence!
