Meet the Professionals is a monthly webinar series facilitated by Kelly Marquis and features interviews with the fancy’s top professional dog handlers. Kelly created the program to help bridge the gap between top professional dog handlers and junior handlers nationwide.
The program provides an opportunity for junior handlers to get to know top professional handlers on a more personal level, learn unique training tips and methods and create an open forum for junior handlers to access the expertise of top professional handlers.
Meet the Professionals runs on the first Tuesday of every month 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST. Although the main purpose of this program is to bridge the gap between professional handlers and junior handlers nation-wide, anyone interested in the dog show world is welcome to attend.
