Conformation (Show)

Every breed has a standard of how they should look, move, and even act. Here at Under the Sun we want to help you not only learn about your breed standard, but also the rules and procedures of an AKC dog show. Most importantly how to present your dog to the best of your ability. We will teach you to be a great frame for your beautiful picture of the dog!

We will introduce and teach you the following: how to stack, free stack, and gait your dog in addition to the fundamentals and techniques of coat care to give you the best chance to achieve your goals.

Fetch

Is Fetch one of your favorite pastimes with your dog? Or are you eager to learn how to teach your pup to fetch?

We have an ideal class and an enjoyable activity just for you! Fetch is an excellent way to promote both the physical and mental well-being of your dog.

Classes and drop ins will encompass everything you need to succeed in the AKC Fetch program or simply enjoy the process of teaching your dog to retrieve. The format is fun and non-competitive, following a pass/fail structure.

Regarding AKC Fetch: it is a non-competitive test with a pass-fail outcome. The four title levels (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Retriever) evaluate the dog’s retrieving skills. In the Advanced and Retriever levels, dogs must respond correctly to signals.

Flyball

Flyball is a relay race on a team where a group of four dogs and their handlers compete against another team. The race consists of four dogs, in succession, who will jump over four hurdles, complete swimmer’s turn on a contraption we call a Box which releases a ball. Then the dog will catch the ball and run back over the jumps to their handler and pass the next dog. The first team to complete the race without making a mistake AND in the fastest time WINS! Small, large, fast, slow, pure-breed or mixed breed, this is a sport for all.
