HANDLING CLASSES
General Handling Class Information
Handling Classes are usually held the first three Tuesday evenings each month at 7 PM.
(See ‘Announcements’ on the Home Page for current details)
Open to anyone interested in practicing Conformation showing with their dog. Non-members welcome.
SUMMER
Starting in May, classes may be held outdoors. The location will be announced in advance and is usually in a local park.
It is difficult to find a park with enough room so the classes may be suspended for the summer months.
In the Winter months, usually in October, classes are usually held indoors at 7:00pm
at the OSU Extension Building/Auditorium, 215 Ringuette St., Grants Pass OR 97527
*** Our indoor location depends on the 4-H dog group being able to use the OSU Extension Building.
Remodeling and COVID are affecting our classes. Current situation will be posted on the home page of this site. ***
A $3.00 donation is requested per class. The 4-H Pooch Paw Raiders provide the practice space as a fundraiser. This money goes to the 4-H group so please donate generously. (That means the wonderful class leaders do this just for the love of the sport.)
All participants will be expected to pick up after their dogs, please bring plastic bags and/or paper towels for this purpose. If you do not have materials to pick up, ask, they are available.
Also, please help tidy up the room after class. Mats need to be rolled up and put in the storeroom. Floor needs to be dust mopped. It’s easy.
