Filed under Care & Training Q&As
l am working with a friend of mine so she can show at a JAC show (this show does not require you to have a juniors # or a registered dog/purebred dog). She is going to be in Novice Intermediate and will be showing my red sable male phalene (drop eared papillon) who is already trained. She will be coming over 2 times a week for practice. What should I work with her on the first week? Second week? Third week? Like, easiest to learn to hardest. I was thinking stacking the first week, gaiting the second, and patterns third ect…
Any suggestions also?

Pay attention to the judge. Listen to the judge. Get to the ring early and watch how the judge has the dogs move, where to line up, where to stack them.
The proper stack for the breed. The correct/best gait for the breed and that individual dog. How to bait. When to bait (not right before the judge checks teeth). How to lift the dog from ground to table and then back down. How to hold the dog while the judge is going over him.
Third times a charm?
