Ringcraft training in Dorset. What to do in the show ring

If you know that you are going to want to develop your dog into a ‘show’ dog or just have some fun at the local dog shows, there are clubs who specialise in ‘Ringcraft'.

Ringcraft classes teach you how to prepare and present your dog so that it looks its best for the judge in the show ring. A great deal of time and effort goes into presenting a dog for exhibition at a show and even getting your dog to perform in the ring is a lot harder than it looks. The judge will not be impressed by a dog that only wants to slouch in the corner, or amble ungracefully around the ring. It is very important that you learn how to present your dog in the show ring to show off all his finer points.

When going for your first time, please ensure that you take your dog’s following items with you

Poo bags, no responsible dog owner should ever leave home without them as you never know when they might need to go!
Vaccination record
Water bowl and water
