No handler can do a miracle and properly show an unprepared dog. Prepare a dog for the ring show is possible at any age, provided that the normal psyche.

Preparation of an adult, untrained dog begins at least two months before the exhibition. First of all, we must try to establish contact with the dog. This is facilitated by walks, games, elementary training. Training facilitates the formation of contact and shows the dog "who of the two most important."

A dog with a good psyche, realizing in the process of training that the owner (trainer) must obey, will try to fulfill his desires and like, that is, to deserve approval. Obedient, contact dogs are easier and more willing to learn the performance of exhibition techniques.

So the first is the establishment of contact and hierarchical relations "who should obey whom." Up to this point, to engage in ring training is not very productive.

Special training I recommend starting with the training of ring trot. This technique is easier to take an "exhibition rack", more interesting for a dog and does not require a lot of aging.

Having worked the lynx on command, go to the workout of the teeth, and then go to the reception "exhibition rack". When the techniques are worked out cleanly, clearly separately, put them together in one session and in the future train the dog to perform all three receptions one after the other in a complex, like at an exhibition.

Training manual control should be carried out when the dog performs impeccably in different places other methods - "teeth", "lynx", "stance".

For an adult dog, the "manual control" reception is particularly difficult. The dog has already developed a character and his attitude to the objects and phenomena of the surrounding world.

From the very beginning it is necessary to teach the dog to treat the reception correctly. It's not people that touch her, but she performs the handler's command to stand still when touched and touched by her person.

The team "inspection" should block the subjective attitude of the dog to the touch of an outsider. This command should be given strictly and sharply for aggressive dogs with a sharp jerk of the collar, if the dog tries to snarl or snarl and affectionately soothing, if the dog does not like touches at all. The main thing is to get the dog to perform the required command.

This technique is the only one where the dog, when unwilling, is forced to do the necessary. The rest of the tricks are worked out in the game on encouragement and should bring the dog pleasure.

Any, the most spiteful, but mentally balanced dog can be trained at the command "Inspection" to stand still with careful manual control. And the owners must be able to teach this to all dogs, regardless of breed and usage.
