VCA Nationals: Fancy Footwork


"Gait is one of the most important characteristics by which a conformation judge evaluates your dog.  ...  It is the handler’s job to make the dog shine.” 
- Vicki Ronchette, Positive Training for Show Dogs


Your style should be what you should have in everyday life: good posture, confident carriage, and a graceful gait. 
- D. Caroline Coile, Ph.D., Show Me!  A Dog Show Primer


 Even when decelerating, Alex's gait is in sync with mine.


Thank you, Alex, for helping me to shine!
