Run Thrus/Practice Sessions
The Carroll Kennel Club is a service organization supporting various youth programs and other canine related activities for our community and at large. The Club also offers a Canine Good Citizenship test. Educational programs are given throughout the year at our general meetings, which are open to the public. The Club conducts annual AKC sanctioned conformation shows and agility trials. In addition, run thru/practice sessions in conformation handling and agility (advanced) are offered to members and the community. NOTE: These are conducted with the philosophy of positive reinforcement. No abusive behavior by any attendee will be permitted.

CONFORMATION HANDLING RUN-THRUS
Minimum Age: 4 months. $10 per handler.
These weekly walk-in run thrus are designed to allow the team to practice for participating in conformation shows. The sessions are designed to provide a positive environment for practice. They give the dog and handler an opportunity to practice ring patterns, gaiting, and stacking – required in an actual conformation show.
