What Pro Handler includes
Everything in Pro Exhibitor, plus:
- Assistant access. Your helpers get free 7-day accounts so they can see the dogs and the day-by-day show planner — everyone's working from the same picture instead of calling you ringside.
- Your public Pro Handler directory profile. Photo, breeds you handle, home region, bio, and a Pro Handler badge at thepetadvisor.com/handlers/ — the page owners find when they're looking for a handler.
- New requests come to you. Open requests matching your breeds and home region land in your account inbox automatically — you see them before they do the rounds on the public board, and you answer from the same inbox where you negotiate terms.
- Unlimited client dogs, with owner info attached. The whole roster in one place — every client's dogs, their owners, and what's entered where.
- First booking free every month. You only pay when you're booked — one lead credit per booking: $19.95 ringside pickup, $39.95 weekend, $199.95 campaign. Your first ringside-pickup booking each calendar month is free; buy extra credits from your billing page as you need them, good for 12 months.
- Shareable schedules. Send any client a link to the weekend plan — ring times and results, they open it in their browser, no account needed. Links expire after the show and you can revoke them anytime.
- Ring time conflict alerts across your full client roster. Overlap warnings in Today's Plan cover every dog you're showing that weekend — yours and your clients'.
Alerts and deadline radar are planning aids compiled from official sources — they're not a guarantee. Always confirm closing dates, assignments, and details with the superintendent or club before entering or traveling.

Honest answers
- How do lead credits work? You only pay when you're booked. Each booking through the board uses one credit, priced by the job: $19.95 ringside pickup, $39.95 weekend handling, $199.95 campaign. Your first ringside-pickup booking each calendar month is free — it expires at month end and doesn't roll over. Extra credits are good for 12 months and are bought from your billing page as you need them.
- What's the difference between Pro Exhibitor and Pro Handler? Pro Exhibitor ($9.95/month) is the paid tier for devoted exhibitors — unlimited dogs, private judge notes, and handler contact, with entry alerts, the season planner, and printable packets on the way. Pro Handler ($24.95/month) includes everything in Pro Exhibitor plus the business tools: unlimited client dogs with owner info, free 7-day assistant accounts, the public directory profile, and new-client request matching — with ring time conflict alerts across your full client roster and shareable schedules included.
- What happens if I cancel? Cancel during your free first month and you're never charged. After that, your Pro features run until the end of the paid period. Your public profile unpublishes automatically; your profile data stays saved and re-publishes if you rejoin.
- Do clients see my email? Never. Owners reach you through your profile's contact form; you see their message in your account inbox.
- I'm not a handler — is Pro for me? Probably not — Pro Exhibitor is the paid tier for exhibitors. The free Spectator and Basic Exhibitor accounts stay free.
