Putting on a good show at the Kennel Club of Taiwan Dog Handling Competition

On 13 October 2024, Summer, our Academy’s Instructor and Principal Stylist, took part in the dog handling competition held by the Kennel Club of Taiwan. Working harmoniously with Hunter, a beautiful black poodle, Summer won the Technical Award in Dog Handling (Class C).

What is dog handling, you may ask. The primary focus of the dog handling competitions held by the Kennel Club of Taiwan is to train handlers for competitive dog shows, with emphasis on several key areas:

1. Proper Handling Techniques: Teaching handlers how to present dogs in the show ring, including correct posture, gait, and lead control to highlight the dog’s strengths.
2. Understanding Breed Standards: Providing knowledge about specific breed standards so that handlers can present the dog according to what judges are looking for, including conformation, temperament, and movement.
3. Ring Etiquette: Educating handlers on show ring protocols, including interacting with judges, managing time in the ring, and proper sportsmanship.
4. Dog Training and Conditioning: Emphasizing the importance of preparing the dog physically and mentally, including training the dog to behave calmly in the ring and to respond to cues.
5. Enhancing Handler-Dog Communication: Improving the bond and communication between the handler and the dog, ensuring smooth coordination during the show.
6. Practical Experience: Offering opportunities for hands-on practice in a simulated show environment to help handlers build confidence and refine their skills.

These courses are designed to prepare handlers to showcase their dogs effectively in competitive settings.

Summer’s achievement at this prestigious event shows the repertoire of skills and wealth of knowledge our instructors possess. Pet grooming is more than just trimming of pets, but also the study of pets and our communication skills with them. This holistic approach is what we offer at The Pets Workshop Academy.
