Conformation Seminars

Enhancing Your Win Capability, Gilbert's K-9 Structure & Movement Seminar, September 15 & 16, 2007, presented by Ed & Pt Gilbert.

This two-day seminar is designed to build on the basics. How structure along with proper conditioning and handling affects movement. Why breed-specific movement is correct and the "All-American Show Dog" movement is incorrect for your breed. It makes no difference whether you breed, hunt, work, do obedience, agility or anything else with your dogs. This seminar will permit you to properly evaluate dogs, thereby preparing you to be a more intelligent breeder, exhibitor, handler and judge. There are two objectives for this seminar. First, to train your mind to know what to look for in evaluating dogs. Second, to begin training the subconscious mind to react quickly and recognize perfection, not imperfection, in the pictures before your eyes. The second day of the seminar will allow for an evaluation of 10 dogs. The dogs will be evaluated and recommendations will be make for increasing the depth of your knowledge. You will be asked to "listen, Think and be Challenged". The entire seminar is interactive so that you can ask questions and learn from the presenters' broad based experience.
